Check the pedal box, They are known for breaking near the spot welds causing the box to collapse. Clutch master cylinder is most likely contaminated with junk also. The fact that you have no signs of clutch slip is a positive thing

The fact that you still have drive means that the pressure plate and clutch are at least still working.

As GTR-32U has stated I would check out your peddle bracket, master cylinder and slave cylinder to see if that is where your problem is.

I would work on these to the point where you can get the slave cylinder to operate the clutch fork. This will identify if the problem is in the hydrolic system that works the clutch or the clutch itself.

Are you sure the clutch pivot ball hasn't broken? This happened to me when my old silvia broke down in st kilda and my clutch just dropped, couldn't do shit. Had to replace both the pivot and slave cylinder as it shat itself same time the pivot ball broke. Also spewed clutch fluid all over the middle of beaconsfield pde at 1 in the morning :(

box has to come out unless you have the hands of a 3 year old but with the strength of an adult.

and if you don't have a hoist it is a bit of a pain to do (i found out the hard way). you only need to lower the gearbox enough to be able to work in it, so it can be done with just the car jacked up, but it isn't the easiest

You will need to remove the entire box, that involved dropping the tail shaft, removing the shifter, then sliding the box back.

Whilst you're at it, might as well upgrade to a better clutch, nismo strengthed pivot point, and larger slave ideally from a a Pre-1993 GT-R push type or just get a nismo slave.

    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
    • I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.
    • Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
