hey guys been reading a few threads but not really answering my question.

just rebuilt my engine and bought a second hand (still good) nismo gmax clutch push type, for my R32 GTR, finally got the car running yesterday and couldn't select any gears?? :3some:

before the rebuild it had an organic single plate clutch in it and it had a hard pedal and it was pretty bitey and had no problems what so ever. no leaking master or slave cylinder, never lost fluid.

Bled the stupid set up that nissan used a couple of times and got a good pedal feel and could select gears when the car was off, but when car was started it didn't feel as hard and couldn't select gears.

adjusted under the dash and the pivot ball to try and get it to engage but nothing has worked??

i'm thinking i need to either get a nismo slave cylinder or get the standard one re-sleeved with a smaller bore go give it more stroke because it looks like the slave cylinder is only moving half the distance needed to engage and disengage the clutch.

any help much appreciated

If the hydraulic system was working fine with the old clutch, then your problem is more than likely related to the installation of the new clutch itself. Of course that assumes that the hydraulic system is in good nick. I believe you need to use a different height thrust bearing carrier with some of these multi-plate clutches, so it might be related to that, but someone else should be able to confirm (also do a search).

The clutch pedal 'feels' different on a GTR because it has vac assist when the engine is running in the same way as the brake system.

I also have the same clutch in my car, going from single to twin I had to actually make a longer pushrod from the slave to the fork.

Reason being the fork sat further back and my slave piston was about to pop out.

It wasnt a huge change but just enough. Might be your problem.

What thrust/carrier did you use? This could also be a problem.

Call Jim Berry, he should be able to tell you straight away but you need to know whats in there.

btw, remember the nismo slave is larger bore so it will have less travel than a stock slave. so if your problem is travel don't get it. I had a problem with my old twin or tripple (i forget which) and hard gear selection. it was not enough travel. went back to stock slave, problem went away.

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
