thismorning out of the blue my clutch pedal started to stick, it would flip back after a second or two

after a little driving it got worse, the clutch was engaging further down the stroke and the pedal wouldnt pop back out unless i pulled it with my feet

after leavbing it for a while and driving later on the pedal would go all the way in and only JUST engage the clutch at the last stretch, was having to force gears in, pedal wouldnt come out uinless i pulled it

left the car when i got home for 10 mins max, went to move it and the clutch pedal wont engage the clutch at all, therefore i cant put it in gear, i tried to force it into reverse and the car stalled

wats my problem :S ???

note: a few weeks ago i decided to try and lube up the pedal cos it had been squeaking when i pushed it

i used WD40 or some other similar lubricant/water dispersant. i think i used too much seeing as it all dripped down the pedal and just soaked into the carpet and i now have a nice slippy patch under the clutch lol. thought id let u know incase the WD40 might of done something ???

if u have an answer for me ill be eternally greatfull :)

hmm i had a look and if its the little one in the top left side of the engine bay then yeh its empty :)

ill just go buy some fluid as a temp fix and get a new cylinder at the weekend, hopefully it will hold up

you can buy a rebuild kit from nissan. you get your seals etc. just make sure you hone the cylinder out.

but i guess if your not sure what im saying, leave it to proffesionals!

thanks for the tip mate, but yeh, i have no clue off the top of my head :wave:

will just take it to a workshop or something :pirate:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
