I have air pissing out of the clutch pedal. Yes you read correctly. There is a loud hiss from in the engine bay and my idle has gone to shit and on trailing throttle it surges like a hoe.

The air noise is coming from the back of the block down near the top of the bellhousing. What is in that area that would have vacuum and would stop hissing when the clutch is depressed - as in pushed in not sad and unhappy.

if its a GTR then I would say the clutch booster has shat the diaphragm.

The GTR's have a small booster which the clutch m/cyl attaches to and has a vacuum hose running to it.

Take the hose off and plug it to see if the sound stops.

The clutch pedal will get real heavy but that is because it will have no vacuum assistance. It works the same as the brake booster assistance.

Cheers

Ken

Ok blocked the vacuum to the intake and the stall has gone away. Clutch is only marginally heavier so it mat have been dying for a while. What's the boost cost to fix or should I just do curls on my right leg to compensate for my overly massive left one now...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
