Ok..

got the clutch for a few months now..but haven't been driving much 'cos i catch the freaking tram to work (CBD no parking) the most boring part of my day!!!.

anyway.. i am sort of glad that most of you reckon the clutch fews soft..which kinda rule out the malfunction question.

I went back to the guys that fitted it, they adjusted the clutch, got a bit harder but still very light..

changing gear is getting very hard, especially 2nd.. have to wait for the rev to drop all the way down before i can hit 2nd..it fews like the clutch does disengage properly..

i put in redline oil like what most of you guys here says one should do..but gear change is still shite!..

the people that put the clutch in..have no idea why..aparently master cylinder is still good..

internal problems?

what does the spigot bush do? because they didn't change that.. could that be the problem..

can you guy recommend a good gearbox specialist..?

spigot bearing wouldnt affect it...i left my old one in and its all good. They may have adjusted the clutch in someway that your not getting the full stroke outta the pedal inorder to fully disengage the clutch...or your lines may need bleeding if for whatever reason they removed the lines from the slave cylinder. If they did bleed it then they may have missed the intermediate valve thats half way between the master cylinder and the slave cylinder, its on that block mounted on the chassis rail. It may only be half bled and once again not letting you get the full travel to fully disengage the clutch.

oh yeh also, the spigot bush/bearing supports the end of the input shaft from the gearbox in the ass of the crankshaft.

There is a few thoughts for ya to check.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
