Hey,

Ive got an os giken r3c (triple plate) clutch that ive installed into my r34 boxed rb30det. Because of the orientation (pull type) Ive had to install a push pull convertor. All good installed the convertor and went to fit box to car, no worries, but the throwout bearing is hardup against the pressure plate & has no play. It recommends in the os instal guide to shave 4mm off the front cover.. So ive done that & the bearing is well clear of the shaft) I cant see whats gone wrong. Any help would be good heres a picture. The bearing cup (the bit on the swivel arm) Is over the top of the fork. Is this correct, Its the only thing I can think of.

*** Come to think of it, the bearing carrier that came with the push pull converter is a fair bit bigger then the r33 carrier, I might try to modify the standard one and put that in. Has anyone had this problem before? Oh well goto pull it out anyway at this rate. Hopefully that solves it.

For starters i would remove alot of the grease you have on the release bearing! All that grease will only contaminate your clutch plate and cause it to slip..

I have come across a similar problem with a os twin, it was the incorrect size bearing carrier. \Nissan have many different size carriers,check with os or your clutch supplier as to which carrier you should be using.

Hey mate, I took the majority of the grease off before I put it in. I was thinking about using the release bearing I got with the clutch which was a push type. It has a factory r33 carrier & I was just going to drill 2 holes in the sides of it for the holes for the spring. I will have a look otherwise might be up for the $140 they charge for a new carrier. (looking at the photos I have theres 3/4 an inch difference in size so will definately work for the clutch throw. Also figure Ive goto use an r33 slave cylinder as well.

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.

      Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
