Hi all,

As I've stated in topic title Im a late starter in the skyline class.

I brought a r34gtt 1999 model from a young family friend,love the car.

Many many years ago I had xui's L34's,then went to alfa's.I have 2 gtv's

mid 80 models v6 and 2,lt.I must say the gtt is an absolute beauty of a car.

I want to tidy up a few things on the car.audio,suspension etc,thought I would join up and make some new like minded freinds.

All your knowledge of these wonderful cars astounds me.

I look forward to chatting with you in the future.

Kindest regards to all.Butch(Glenn)

Hi all,I hope im responding correctly here either as a group,or am I supposed to respond individualy,please let me know.

As for the fiery demise of butch54 in a smoke laden alfa,na did'nt happen.(not yet anyway)but i am hearing you.

As for photos,I'll do my best in the near future to post some.As i've stated prior I'm new to this type of thing and I'm not sure how its done.

(posting photos I mean)I'm not that bloody old.

While I've got you here, can somebody tell me where I can get some rear inner guard plastics with screws and fixings etc.

Good second hand with no splits would be great.Take care all .Kindest regards butch54(Glenn)

Hi there BoyWhoCriedWolf,its amazing what one can do with a thousand liters of fire retardent foam in a car.

The wiley part is wearing goggles and a snorkle and still driving somewhat safely.

Take care friend,regards Glenn (butch54)

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
