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.

    • Yes there is a front and back insertion point on each side, each point is tubed with supports into the car and tied to the cage/ floor mount point
    • Is the jack stand system tied into the cage somehow? Upgrades look goooood 😍
    • Big updates, tons of work and $$$ 
    • it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
