What The ? My Clutch Is Hissing @ Me

OK pps

I have an R32 GTR - with near new excedy h/d clutch kit installed. It's been installed for about 5-6000 klms or so and it's been fine.

BUT

In the last week or so - I've been getting in intermittent hissing noise from inside the car ??

At first I thought it was coming from the air con – but even when it's off – I can still get the hissing

I've done some investigation - and I think it's coming from the clutch (peddle)

stop that laughing – I don't do drugs (any more :))

Form time to time (maybe once per day) - I can feel the clutch peddle go slightly heavy and then when I press the peddle I get a hissing sound coming from the foot well.

I can not hear it from outside the car (not a bearing) - and it's sounds like a air / vacuum leak coming from somewhere under the dash.

When it's doing it, I can literally just touch the peddle on and off (not actually engaging the clutch) and I will hear the noise. It will also keep hissing all the way through the travel of the peddle (all the way in and out) - told you it was not a bearing :D

then it just stops – and the peddle feel returns to normal

talk to me - am I hearing things ?

I believe GTR's run a vac booster for the clutch. Much like all the new nissan 4wd's do.

I'd say its stuffed. :)

Yep, I got the same problem. Been like that for a few months now. Haven't gotten round to fixing it. Not sure what long term effects it may cause - i've been assured there are none.

The GTR has a vacuum booster on the clutch. To temporarily stop the hissing you could disconnect the vaccum line that goes into the clutch booster and plug it - however your clutch pedal will become 3 times harder to engage.

To fix you need to replace vaccum booster.

Might be worth checking out a navara or something as the booster may be similiar and bolt up without too much trouble.

Wonder what Nissan would want new for a gtr item.... :S

Second hand + a heavy duty clutch its just a matter of when it does it again. Being 10-15yr old and all. :(

Does any one have pics of the booster? Its been some time since I've seen one and able to run out and check the Navara. Funny enough a few things on the navara are the same as the R32. :) The door latch mounted on the door frame is one that comes to mind. :(

Awakening a dead thread...

Got this problem with my R33 clutch booster as well.

THe booster is located in the engine bay inbetween the firewall and clutch MC.

There is long term repercussions for not fixiing it. The nylon bushing in the clutch pedal will crush and wear out, then the pin will run directly on the pedal and wear the bushing hole and damage the pin.

I fixed my bushing issue by machining a brass one up, then found this thread which explains why its happened in the first place!

I have an R32 GTR and it had the exact same problem. It was making a hissing noise when you push in the clutch. I got it fixed sometime last year and it's not a big thing. I think the part cost $120 or so and was charged maybe $60 for labour? Once it was done the pedal was lighter to push down on and I guess if it's vacuum assisted you know when it's really stuffed when you have to push alot harder to get it working.

I would say most mechanics in brissy can replace it fairly easy for you I got it done at a local mechanic no problems.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving

      Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)

      From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
