Recently got a R33,

Clutch pedal feels, odd??. like the first 2/3 of travel is soft then its rather hard.

noticed its hard to get into 1st some times, if you rev out 2nd sometime it wont engage 3rd unless the pedal is near mashed into floor.

Ive tried bleeding the system, new fluid. the middle box thingy is by passed. i followed guides on here, no air in it... pretty certain anyway.

Didnt change the feel, if anything worse now. bad MC or slave?

Any other ideas? i dont really want to pull box to find its Aok.

Btw clutch doesnt seem to slip, or shudder. Friend of mine said it feels like a cracked pressure plate. the little prong bits in middle. had a similar issue with his 33.

Ahhk,

Any advice on that, havnt actually looked under there yet.

Start an apprenticeship?

lol jks. Unlock the 12mm locking nut and wind the pushrod away from the pedal (towards the master cylinder), so that you have more pushrod length between the master and pedal.

Start by doing it 1 full turn at a time. If you adjust it too far you can make it not go into gear at all.

Don't ask any more questions until you have 'actually looked under there'. Now go forth and conquer

Wasn't having a go at you. Just don't want to go back and forth and back and forth teaching you to do something without you actually knowing what I'm talking about. It's a waste of time otherwise.

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
