I just bolted in a os twin plate in a 32 GTR and when I was bolting the slave on the trans I noticed that the clutch fork was stiff in the housing. Do I need to use a shorter pin ball with this set up????? I can only bolt one bolt in the slave. If I forced the other one in the hole the car would drive with the clutch slightly depressed and I dont want to do that. Just seems like this shorter pin ball will work. Anyone ran into this problem before???

okay I tryed the new pin ball, No dice. It seems that it would work but now the fork doesnt even rest on the pin ball. It now rests on the housing itself. The pin ball needs to be that size so I am now stumped :(

Thanks guys!! That picture above makes lots of sence. I figured it could have been something like that but since I pulled the carrier I am using out of a Z32 that had a twin plate in it I thaught it would be good and also from the fly wheel to the diaframs on the pressure plate were both 3" inches on the stock GTR unit and the OS unit so figured it would be okay.

Now since I only just needed a little bit more play in this system I just took out the thick washer under the pin ball and used a thinner one to give me a little extra give in the pivot and it did the trick just fine!! Clutch feels good now!!!!

Thanks for your fast responces!!

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
