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!

    • 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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
