My clutch booster is squealing. I was going to replace it, but then dang ole' dang ole, i found a booster delete set up. How much heavier would a stock clutch, or dual carbon clutch be if this booster was removed? Honestly, would it be worth it? r32 gtr 1991

worth it? well its not going to be an upgrade.

i assume a delete setup would simply be a bypass? could you not bypass it temporarily and see what the clutch feels like that way?

Put it this way - with a heavy duty clutch I looked into fitting a booster but was too much trouble and never got round to it. On the other hand if there was one already fitted I can't think of any reason to get rid of it.

I haven't tried back to back, but almost no cars use a clutch booster.....Nissan over engineered a lot with the GTR which is great, but I think in this case it wasn't necessary

apart from the oil system

lolololol

Can't you just disconnect the vacuum to the booster and see how hard it is?

Or push the clutch a few times with the engine off? Unless they are different bore master cylinders, that's how it will feel with no booster.

How easy is this ???

Like Ben said, drop the vacuum by depressing the clutch a few times and then see how you like the un-assisted pedal.

Certainly not for me, I want all the assist available.

Takes some load off the well known-weak-as-piss pedal, why would you go to the trouble of deleting it.

Pay the bucks.

A bit under $300 from Kudos gets you a new unit or around $100 will get the old one reconditioned.

Drove around with the vacuum disconnected. It's not heavy, but after a while it just gets annoying. I have decided to just replace the booster. Also, the annoying squealing went away when I disconnected it lol. Proper troubleshooting without even trying.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
