R33gtr Clutch Hell

[car32]

hope you lot can help with this prob ive got.i'm fitting a ats carbon twin plate to a r33gtr,clutch was dropped off with the car all looked ok,at the time i wasnt told that you needed to fit parts from a r32 to convert to push.i had a os giken conversion and thought it would do the job,but no you cant even get the box on with the ats and the os conversion kit.the pivot bracket hits the pressure plate and it just dont fit.

the clutch that was removed was finnished and so decided to fit my own giken triple off my 32 with the conversion kit and at least it will be back on the road,but now after removing all the excess pipes from the 33 and just having one pipe from clutch master to slave and bleeding it all it still dont work properly,the conversion kit has a adjustable rod and if adjusted as you would normaly it does'nt disengage clutch and no gears can be engaged,if you wind out the rod you can get gears but when driven clutch slips.

its like the slave cyl has air in it and has'nt enough travel.

any ideas to help with this prob?????

oh and the os clutch was out of my 32 and worked with no probs.

thanks

May be able to help. Alternative if you want to run the ATS carbon would be to swap the R32 bell housing and gear onto the R33 Box, which is entirely possible. But check the bellow first.

On 33GTR's and 34's (not sure about R32) the clutch line comes down from the clutch master cylinder and into a junction box (T-piece if you prefer) From the junction box thier is a pipe leading to the flex pipe which goes into the clutch slave cylinder which in turn has it's own bleeder nipple that needs to be bled.

But before bleeding this part you need to perform a bleed at the junction box. The junction box has a big loop pipe which comes back into the junction box. I assume this loop pipe exists for extra volume of fluid or for cooling reasons. Right where this loop comes back into the junction box there is a bleeder nipple. Bleed this first, then the slave cylinder and make sure you don't run out of fluid in the resevoir as it's pretty small.

May be the solution.

i removed all the extra pipes as i have bled them before and they can be a pain,so i have run one pipe from the master to the slave and defo has no air in it,just looking for a broke 32gtr box to pull all parts off and try on the 33, with the ats twin.

Yep will work. You can seperate the bell housing from a 32 box and put onto the 33 along with the push type gear and use the 32 slave cylinder. Just make sure you get the selector ball bearing thing out before seperating the box other wise this will fall into the box.

Have you done this before? If not refer to manual.
