Os Giken 3 Litre Install Help !!

After many months my giken rb 30 is ready to go into the 'hole' trouble is that due to this engine being taller that stock the inlet manifold/surge tank does not clear the clutch master cylinder !

does anybody have pics of keir wilsons 'set up' or have a contact for him, or has anyone got a good solution to this problem ????????????????

thanks

i have the same problem dicky with my rb30 in my GTR as well.

What i have done is ditched the booster, got a slave cylinder off a r32 gts-t, and also the pedal box, this is important as the gtr pedal box uses the studs coming off the booster but with the new set up its reverse the studs come off the gts-t pedal box... Next what you need to do is take apart the pedal box and swap pedal arms, ie. you need the gtr pedal arm in the gtst pedal assembly.. Next there is a metal stopper on the gtr pedal arm that stop it coming foword too far, you need to grind that off and recess a little notch so it can come foword alot further.

Next the thread rod that is your adjustment needs to be cut down to nearly wear the thead ends then more thread has to be tappep down the rod, this is so it doesnt hit the back of the pedal arm and you still have adjustment..

Next you need to elongate the pin hole that holds the slave cylinder on to the pedal arm by about half a hole, again to avoid the back of pedle arm fouling on the threaded rod. The slave cylinder on the engine side also needs to be spaced foward 5mm, you can do it with washers but i made an aluminium plate so its a bit more solid and wont pivot. I then air hacksawed a little semi circle in the lip that hangs out of the firewall and you can get to the resevoir nicely with out needing a custon resevoir.

Thats basically it, if you wanna ask any questions please do, its a pain of a job took me around 3-4 hours.

PS lube up the rubber bush when you take the pedal arm out to stop future skweeks.

THANKS

I cannot belive that I have just given away a 'T' pedal box !

We don't need to do it that way.. just watch

You do need to drill 2 holes for the master cylinder however as the holes are in the opposite position.

We have a nice remote resevoir, so no cutting or grinding anything.. and making the rod to the correct length is simple, done it a lot.

Relax.

its all pretty easy to do its just time consuming due to the location your working at, ie un the dash!!!

[GTR-Ben]

Yeah under the dash is the worst.. especially when there is a roll cage installed.
