need a lil help guys, was driving the gtr just cruising at 60 changed gears nice n slow n I felt a funny twitch in the clutch pedal and then next time I pushed the clutch is was a lot heavier all of sudden.

pulled over check the fluid levels all looks ok, then I noticed when I got back in it every time I pushed the clutch it was making a noise like gas escaping. This was in the car not under the bonnet.

so I hear this is possibly a vacuum leak in the booster? anyone got any other ideas?

anyways I drove it home and it felt fine aside from the weird noise and being heavier clutch than normal, went into gear fine no crunch.

What im wondering is, is this doing any damage to the clutch? I have the nismo coppermix twinplate so I don’t wanna stuff it up but its normally light as a feather and id actually prefer a heavier clutch pedal.

o and this car is starting to p me off

Sounds like a throw out bearing... Or more likely a split in the clutch vacuum booster pot steel casing...

Check and see if the noise is coming from the clutch pedal pivot area.. With the pedal getting heavy though I would say that it is the booster...

I hope it is nothing worse than that...

It's gotta be the booster Dan. If it was anything else it would be crunching/notching gears. I wouldn't expect it to be doing any damage to the clutch.

Get the standard one welded up strong, nismo one is standard with som tack welds to reinforce......

Yeah my mechanic took it out and seem welded it and put a strengthening plate as well... much cheaper than going aftermarket lol

G'day, looking for a little help/advice..

I've been out of the loop when it comes to parts prices and just wanted to know what you guys think. I'm looking to buy a r33 rip the motor and box and replace it with my built stuff. Question is; what are r33 s2 motors + boxes worth now days. Am I dreaming thinking I could get $3000 for both including loom and clutch? Are they still moving fairly quickly or are people not buying them? When I bought mine 4+ years ago, I paid $3500.. I want to know this before I buy the 33 so i know weather or not its a viable option..

Cheers!

Yeah as mentioned above ^^^ best bet is to call a couple of wreckers or import specialists wreckers a call and find out how much all that kit is worth these days. It will give you at least a ball park figure to work with.

Was driving today and this happened, its the left side bracket on a R33 GTR drivers seat. You might also notice it has been welded in 3 places by the previous owner haha. Anyone else had this happen to them?

Also I swapped the passenger side bracket over to this so i can get around, anyone know if a gts seat will have the same bracket?

someone buy my old GTR and give it a good home;

Pretty sure you are dreaming - RB26s can be had for that sort of money (I sold one on behalf of my brother-in-law for well under $3k 2 years ago). Generally RB25s hover around the $1,500-$2k mark - maybe a bit more incl. the loom, and if the clutch is decent. But you never know - selling 2nd hand parts is a funny business - sometimes you can barely give things away, and other times you could have sold a thing 10 times over for mor cash then you got.

Yeh I was saying 3k with complete motor (inc. loom, clutch, everything) AND box. I think $1800 for engine and $1200 for box is fairly reasonable.

I know what you mean, I've sold plenty of parts and its just a matter of who wants what at the time. I remember when buying my 25, everyone wanted one. I got mine at $1900 and that was a steal!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
