Hey guys I've got a r34 GTT. 

Clutch has felt weird for a couple years now, my exedy cushion button wore out I got a NPC 5 puck spring button clutch installed a few months ago.

 

Back to the story the pedal always felt a little strange and spongy, changed the master still the same. 

I just changed the slave with a brand new one from Nissan and also got the braided line from master to slave from gktech (states for r32/r33 gtr) but fits perfectly fitted it all up bled it all over and over again using nulon super dot.

Now when pressing the clutch it feels like the first half travel is doing nothing then the second half does the work. When releasing it just releases to the half again then you feel the clutch spring struggle to bring the rest of it up. 

It drives fine with no slipping and grabs as soon as you start releasing, I adjusted the rod a little so it doesn't grab right at the bottom.

What is going on? Has anyone done the damper delete? Faulty slave? Or do I need the damper?

Thanks in advance.

Exactly what's doing my head in about it, especially since there's no damper now it's even simpler, bled the master then bled the slave how hard could it be, where is it even possible to mess up lol. 

Get someone under the car and see if the fork is doing what you think...i.e not moving for the first half of pedal travel. maybe its just doing what it should ...taking up the free travel before it bites. You may be used to the damper affecting the feel of the clutch.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
