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!

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
