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:

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
