ID this part?

[atticus]

Can anyone ID this part for me? It's in cabin, behind the clutch. Someone told me its the Clutch Pedal Box. does this make any sence? I can't change gears (unless i push til it grinds and makes really bad noises). So i cant drive my car.

If anyone knows what this is, is there anywhere you know that i can get it? i was also told that it might be universal??? any ideas greatly appreciated. I miss my baby, i have to subsitute with a VL commonwhore.

thanks,.

More information please. When you say a grinding noise, is it from around the pedal or under the car near the clutch itself? The photos show the master cyclinder of the clutch which is like a pump that operates a slave cylinder that disengages and engages the clutch. If the grinding noise is in the master cylinder you can get a replacement fairly easily.

I think it was about $200 for a master & slave cylinder from Nissan for the 32.

I think we still have the slave at home if you need one (for a 32 no idea what else its compatible with).

Sorry. More info...right.

Its not the master cyclinder (if thats the round tube thing), its the metal. In the first pic, the bit that is circled has snapped off from the rest, and now the clutch doesnt engage. so when i say it grinds, its becuase its not going in, as if there is no clutch.

When i push the clutch in, the broken bit moves kinda, but its spose to be joined to the rest of it, so im guessing thats why it doesnt engage.

its really hard to get in there and have a good look. i guess to really see the problem i would have to look at another skyline. but i dont know many.

anyway, hope that extra info helps. thanks

just a stupid and may be highly annoying ordeal to do. You may be able to just weld it back up, if you know anyone that is handy with a mig, or better yet a tig (less sparks) You would of course have to take out the clutch master cylinder, and also any carpet you have, or put a welding blanket down, then again, i dont know how hard it is to get in there, may be very difficult ... what model is it?

[R33S2]

Ah I see the bit now. Yes a weld job to fix that, you would have to take the master cylinder off, disconnect battery and a weld blanket to cover melty things.

Lot of stuffing around, but it will be MUCH easier to work on if you remove it from the car. And to do that, you need to remove the instrument cluster (to get at a bolt up the top), amongst other things.

Been there, done that. The pedal box is distorting, and remove some of the "throw" off the pedal onto the clutch master.
