Hi All,

Well my clutch booster was leaking, causing the old un-even idle issue etc so i needed to replace it.

Contacted Nissan and the genuine R33 GTR Clutch booster cost around the $600 mark.

I found out that Repco are able to source an identical Nissan genuine part for $215 delivered. Both the faulty factory booster and the one repco supplied are identical but the part numbers are different.

The new Repco supplied part number is 300630-05U01. Repco's internal part number for the part is the same as this without the "-".

Cheers,

Ian

No i didn't have them check up on that. It might be from an R32 GTR, a patrol, or a 300zx. When I started researching the part these were the other nissans that I found also used boosters.

I'm just glad I didnt have to give nissan another donation. This allows me to do the complete redline fluid change on the GTR without denting the bank balance quite so much.

Cheers,

Ian

I bought one from Nissan a while ago for about $150, just the booster not including the master though.

What's a clutch booster?

You don't have one in your car Adam, all GTRS have them , Just like brake boosters, less effort to push it down .

Landcruisers have them in some models but they use 2 heavy springs for assistance now ( done away with the booster ).

I was just going to put a slightly larger slave cylinder in my car to lighten the clutch. Maybe I could put a GTR booster on?

Too hard

You will need to recess the fire wall 40mm for the booster and mod your clutch pedal

Nismo make a larger slave for a lighter pedal

Don't bother , use the larger slave and it will give you better feel , the take up point will be less sudden.

or just do leg press on the left leg alot more at the gym.

05U in the part number denotes GTR, it probs is for a GTR, Nissan just have some whacked prices sometimes like the front bar lip is $400+, but a head gasket is $52. They are all over the shop.

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
