My clutch plate  is making weird noises when i reverse and when i put my clutch in the revs idel down .. to the point that it almost stalls.  

I have a brass button puk clutch...  

Whats the deal homies?  I only got this thing put in like last year?  :nowigetit

there might be a problem with your thrust bearing thats making that noise but sounds like its not disengaging properly too thats why its almost stalling see a clutch guy PVP i would see he is good with that sorta stuff on muller road

Does the clutch engage at the top of the pedal travel? Have you checked master and slave cylinders are fully tightened in place? Checked the clutch pedal mounting under the dash? There should be enough adjust that you can stop this happening - as it sounds like the clutch isnt fully disengaging.

A few things to look at anyhow.

Gee Erica should I bring my overalls around and we can snap to it? I'm sure we can figure that out being the mechanics that we are :nowigetit

Definately sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging.

Check the master cyclinder for leaks on both the inside of the firewall and the outside. (Mine was leaking on the inside down the firewall and down the clutch pedal)

Flick the rubber boot on the slave cyclinder and check there isn't any fluid in their. If there is then chances are its leaking and letting a little bit of air in the system causing the clutch not to disengage.

I had a similiar issue. My master cyclinder was stuffed. I poped down to some brake and clutch joint behind the caltex servo on south road at St.Mary's. The bloke there has a R33 Skyline and knows what parts to use. The master cyclinder from memory cost me $65.

EDIT: The shaft that connects to the clutch pedal can also be adjusted.

If its only started doing it then I'd say it isn't the adjustment but air in the system or if your really unlucky the clutch fork could be farked.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
