Gday guys just seeking some advice tried searching but couldnt find much. The deal is swapped my engine because it was fooked. As you may know i had to pull the clutch line out of the gearbox. I have now put it back on to the same gearbox filled the the line up but theres still know clutch pressure it just hits he floor when i depress it. I actually havent started the new engine in the car does this matter like does the engine have to be running to get pressure? its a r33 rb25

+1 as above

also if you drain out all the fluid you will need to bleed the master cylinder first, then the slave cylinder.

no i didnt bleed it im about to do that now. i no this is a stupid question but master cylinder is the on connected to the pedal right? and slave is on the gearbox?

yep thats right, take the line off the master. put your finger over the hole. fill the reservoir with fluid, then get some one to pump the pedal and use your finger as if you were bleeding brakes, so push down pedal and release your finger at the same time, then put your finger back on and they lift the pedal, do this until pedal feel is ok then quickly put the line back on and bleed the clutch slave (on the gearbox) with the same process. make sure you dont let the fluid get below the low line on the reservoir

ok thanks heaps mate! thing is tho when i push the pedal down ot gets stuck to the floor you have to physically pull it back up will this change when the lines off and my fingers on it?

Why can't you leave the line connected and just bleed it through the bleed nipple? and then the same on the slave cylinder? Once the pedal is bled properly it will start returning back to normal operating position by itself.

yeah thats normal when doing any clutch bleeding,

have you sorted this issue yet?

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
