My series 2 gtst isn't going into gear while engine is running. Clutch pedal feels like the pressure is gone and is spongy . Looked at fluid levels on the master cylinder they are fine. Slave seems to be operating correctly. If started in 5th with clutch out it stalls immediately so I think clutch is ok. I'm thinking the clutch fork maybe ? Or the ball joint thingamajig. Clutch wont engage when engine is on..Any suggestions or anyone had the same happen.

One of my mates is coming round to help me bleed the system tomorrow or Wednesday.  I read the guide on bleeding all 3 sections of the clutch lines . Sounds like a pain but hey that's the joys of an RB hey. Will look at deleting return line with braided line to make it easier next time

So I bled the clutch to no avail. The pedal box isn't broken. Slave is operating. Nothing leaking from master cylinder. I noticed that when running, there is a squeaking sound and a slight vibration when clutch is pushed. Any thoughts before I pull the box out.

If the slave looks to be pushing the clutch rod the full throw when you put your foot on the clutch then it sounds like your clutch fingers might be bent and the clutch is not fully disengaging.  Unlikely to be the fork or the pivot ball, they're both pretty heavy duty parts.  Sounds like box out sorry mate!

Actually I've snapped my pivot before, there could be a chance! 

Undo the slave and see of the fork moves properly and is seated properly

Ha ha, I'll just shut up then!!  I've never seen either in my 20+ years in the industry!!!  Maybe the cars at my work are all driven like nanna would and don't get smashed through the gears enough!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
