Underneath the dash just on top of the clutch there is a bracket that holds the clutch. When i push the clutch in you can actually see it moving is this a big problem? Can somebody plz look and see if there bracket moves or is mine screwed? And whats that bracket called, i need to source a new one and is it hard to change do i need to remove the whole dash? Im told beacuase I have a heavy duty clutch thats why it came loose to much stress. And would anybody have an average price on what its worth.

Same here. I have a heavy twin plate and it ended up mangling the bracket so far the clutch pedal sat on the fire wall and I had to pull it up with my foot first to press the clutch in.

Apparently a common prob with heavy pedal effort clutches.

Not sure with your car but with the HR31 its made from thin metal with just a few spot welds here and there. Got another one out of a Pintara and it was welded up properley with extra plate steel reinforcement. I would just get one in good nick from a wrecker and reinforce it as it will only happen again.

The dash didnt "have" to come out but it was of those " get out you f@cking little c@nt of a thing" type of jobs.

It's a common occurance, I have broken the one in the R32GTST race car. It has an OS Giken twin plate in it, so not excessively heavy. Broke through the spot welds. The first sign was long pedal, needed to be depressed further to declutch. It just got slowly worse until no clutch.

Not only is it hard to get out, it is efen uncomfortable lying upside down, with the steering wheel in your crutch, the seat base in your crack, your feet on the head rest and your head under the brake pedal. Talk about rush of blood to the brain.....:headspin:

yer mine snapped as i pulled into work....luckily.

Looking back i replaced the clutch master cylinder, and the pedal was squeeking inside the car. Thought nothing of it. Clutch then seemed to play up now and then in car parks, thought nothing of it. Then i remember some clunky gearchanges, thought it was the gb cos it needs bearings.

Then as i pulled into work, i heard a small pop. Then 2 seconds later, it popped again and the clutch went to the floor. :D

Now i got a new clutch pedal box sitting here ready to go in. I was going to make a new pedal box out of some thicker 3 or 5mm steel, but ill just reinforce the new pedal box with steel around the 4 spot welds that hold it together !!!

No. Two bolts in engine bay on Clutch master cylinder. Then one looking straight up from the clutch pedal. You need a pillow or something on to lie on, then look up where the clutch pedal is..........SK described it exactly :

Not only is it hard to get out, it is even uncomfortable lying upside down, with the steering wheel in your crutch, the seat base in your crack, your feet on the head rest and your head under the brake pedal. Talk about rush of blood to the brain.....

I'll tell you as well what makes the whole process a heap easier ...

If you don't use the air vent near the drivers door much, just rip out the tube underneath the steering rack (or maybe it goes over, I can't remember as I pulled it out so long ago).

It makes the whole procedure so much easier as you can get to the nut on the pedal box with a socket and an extension :(

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
