Hi!

My R33 Sedan has been converted to manual with a RB20 box and a HD clutch, i have found that the clutch pedal makes a click sound that can be heard and felt through the pedal when shifting into gears, it doesnt happen when the box is in neutral and you press the pedal, its only when you drop it into a gear.

I have also found that cruising along it 5th, it will sometimes pop the gear out and back to neutral, i just shift back to 5th. It doesn't do it all the time and its only 5th gear that does it.

I'm after a little insight as to what could be the cause of both issues. I haven't had the car long so id like to try to fix it before it becomes a major issue.

Thanks!

Josh.

Yup,turbo. I have heard that the box will eventually kick the bucket, i do have a RB25DET box on my list of things to do.

As for where the click is, im not sure exactly where it is, i just know that it happens when i select a gear, i would assume it was a pivot point, it would happen every time i pressed the clutch.

(i know very little about cars, hence why i bought this, to learn on with friends)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
