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;

.. it's a shame YOU never ran a 10 in it :D :D :D

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!

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
