errr....try maintainence section...but no reply so i try here again

cut the story short

just went out to buy macs....

after i got out of macs....i couldn't get into any gear mad.gif

i push the clutch many times and try to see if it helps...but no luck

i turn off the car....then i can push the stick into any gear

so....is this caused by a faulty clutch???? or something wrong with the gearbox (hope not)... sad.gif

PS big thanks to the gentleman and his wife in the range rover helping me to push the car....really appreciated smile.gif

cheers

Daniel

i felt a bit funny with the clutch after i washed my car the nite b4.....

i thought...yeah.....maybe it's just that i was wearing the thongs

KRZYSIU: i dont know really...it just feels like it's not working...but not sure...coz the wierd feeling of the clutch....i think it might be the clutch??? hope it is something simple

AL: i have checked on the floor...there isn't any fluid leaking

11th i think..

something relatively simple you can try is get a mate to sit in the car and pump the pedal as you open and close the bleed valve on the clutch slave cylinder to bleed to system, could be a possible cause...

i doubt it would be gearbox related..

if you want to know how to bleed let me know i can post how..

get your mate to sit in the car, while u get under it near the clutch slave cylinder..you should see a bleed valve, nipple, about a size 8 or 10...see what size spanner fits on to it...

with the clutch fluid reservoir cap off and some fluid near by, get your mate to pump the pedal a few times, then get him to hold it all the way down and undo the bleed valve just half a turn untill air/fluid squirts out... be careful not to get the fluid on your clothes or eyes, and the paint work(i suggest safety goggles and overalls for this, the fluid will fly out everywhere, please do take care!!)...you can actually get a vacumm hose to fit on the nipple so you can guide the fluid into a jar..

after the the fluid has come out close the valve, and then your mate can let the pedal come up... at this stage also get him to top up the fluid, making sure the fluid never gets too low!!

repeat this process several times, all the air should come out and the system should be bled...

I recomend using a clear vacuum hose on the bleed nipple so you can see the fluid and air bubbles being bled out. Do it until there is no bubbles in the system. and make sure you top up the reservoir or it will suck air back in.

Good luck with it.

And with the slave cylinder (mounted to bell housing), where can it leak to? If that was it then the fluid would be on the ground.

the leak also could be at the master cylinder, most likely internal so may be a little hard to see, so make sure you check all around and under the master cylinder as well as the fire wall and even inside the car where the pedal meets the firewall...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
