Hey everyone,

May I ask for you're advise on this? I'm new to having a twin plate clutch. Either my clutch is gone to crap or I suck at driving lol. I have driven many different manual cars for the past 10 years with no problems. So I would like to think that I'm at least decent at it by now lol. Here's the situation.

I bought the GTR from a co-worker about a month ago. He complained that he didn't like the clutch and I second his opinion!

-I have to take off really slooowwwwww.

-The grab point is all the way off the floor and is very unforgiving. If I had to describe the amount of space my foot has to move when slipping the plates it's a centimeter lol.

-And the worst part about it is! About 2 out of 10 times, the clutch makes a horrible and very loud grinding noise.

-I get the normal rattle when the peddle is depressed.

The grinding noise is what most concerns me. Judging from where the grab point is my guess is that the clutch is on it's last leg. All I know is that it's an Orc clutch/ unknown mileage.

Help!

welcome to a twin plate.....!!!!

i would suggest you remove it unless there is a reason for it being in there...IE power?? if it is a daily and can handle a single plate then do that as it will solve alot of hassles

clutch shudder is normal with these are they are basically on/off (engaged or not) specially when you get close to the biting point

There's really no need for a twin plate. My gtr is virtually stock accept for coilovers, cold air intake and power fc.

"Clutch shudder" sorry for being a newb but are your referring to the spinning rattle noise when depressing the peddle/ disengaging?

Or is that what that terrible grinding noise is when taking off? Haha it's loud enough that everyone within 25 feet will turn their head haha

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
