Hey guys so I have one of these that i have just fitted up with the new donk and I'm just wanting to know what everyone that has one thinks about the release point on it?!

I find myself constantly slipping the clutch to much because the bloody release point is just about at the end of the stroke! I hate it its nice and light dosnt shudder but which is mad for a clutch that apparently can handle a lot of power but that very very late release point is crap.

Anyone else experience this or is it just me and some how I have buggered up somewhere? OR is there a way someone has discovered to correct it?

cheers

Is the clutch rod (between the pedal & the master cylinder) adjustable in your car - I know it is in an R33 GTST but no idea on an R32. If it is, adjust the length to set the takeup point where you want it - shorten the rod will make it grip at a lower pedal position.

Yeh i could do but then the pedal will sit lower and dosnt really fix the concern. The only time I have driven clutches that feel like this are ones on the way out? Strange on the gismo site they do say that they have designed it to only have 15% of the original stroke..

I was more worried I had buggered something up but if that's how they are then it's all G I guess! Thanks for that bud!

If I put a bigger slave on it it would increase the stroke required and make the pedal even lighter win win might have to look into that now then

I could be wrong but don't they recommend not using a Nismo slave cylinder with the Coppermix? Again only recalling stuff I thought I read in the past!

This is true, but I call bullshit. Mine has been working fine for the last 9 years with the Nismo slave. No idea why they say this.

Definitely going to run one of those nismo slaves! The only reason you wouldn't run a bigger slave is if your running out of pedal travel and the clutch doesn't disengage properly with the extra stroke required but it is disengaged with something silly like 4mm of travel so no probs with that!?

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
