Heavy Clutch Pedal

[fib]

Hey guys,

Ever since I got an Exedy heavy duty clutch professionally installed, clutch pedal feels quite heavy especially after 2 hrs drive each way to work.

Would a nismo slave cylinder make any difference? What other ways can I make the clutch pedal lighter?

Also, quite irrelevant to topic, but is there any suspension that I can put on to make the ride softer than the standard r33 gtr suspension?

Cheers!

If you want a comfortable daily, buy a stock auto something.

If you want to keep a modified sports car as a daily; cop it sweet. I wouldn't be driving an R33 GTR two hours each way to work anyway, just saying

Yeh it looks like it's time to get an auto

You're probably more suited to the Micra family

4hr drive a day in a GTR

The fuel bill for a week would be one days pay

Not as expensive as seeing the gynaecologist every day !

I've used my GTR as a daily, but only 1 hour trips each way. Are you sure the clutch booster is working? (clutch pedal should be lighter when the engine is on and feeding it vacuum).

I've never been in a skyline with standard suspension.... If the shocks are tired it makes the ride worse.

I fill up almost twice a week. Luckily the weather has been OK and I haven't had to use the aircon much. I agree it makes no economic sense to keep battling heavy stop-start traffic with a twin turbo lol

I think the real problem is you need a new job..

I had a an exedy HD safari tuff clutch in my ute, driving 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week your leg gets stronger after a while and you dont notice it..

So i get a new BT-50 and all i can say standard clutches are f**kin rubbish It feels all wrong ,doesnt bite when i want/expect it too and even though its only done 50oook i want to change the clutch it shits me that much with its lame spongyness.

But guess ill have to wait till it dies which could be a while, I know guy with 330,000kms on his stock clutch

Harden up princess..

Holy f**k two tanks in 1 week. I'm not surprised... $140+ a week in petrol would FML.

Time to get a 4cyl! $40-50 which will last 550km+

I'm lucky I only work about 20 min away on a good run (5am on the road etc), 30-35 with traffic.

[Galois]

4 cylinder? ahh you mean sr20det of course.

seriously though, get an auto corolla or something, not terribly interesting but not too bad, and you'll be saving the gtr for the good times. Or a v6 magna if you want something with a bit more grunt

+ Catback exhaust.

Yeh it's not my legs that are weak lol it's the bottom of my foot that gets sore towards the end of the week. I have no choice where I work currently driving from Bankstown to Manly/Mona Vale it's just a part of hospital rotations lol In 3 weeks time I'll be off to Lismore for 3 months and I will drive up there. I'm a bit concerned about leaving the car at the airport there when I head back to Sydney for the weekend... pretty sure it's gonna get stolen

When you're sitting in traffic stationary, you sit with your foot on the clutch don't you?

If you do, STOP IT! You will be screwing the thrust washer in the engine.

If you want a lighter pedal, put a lighter pressure plate in for the clutch.

Otherwise by a MANUAL 4cylinder... They save even more fuel then the autos and stock clutch = light as.

Another good idea would be to put a little cushion on the clutch pedal ,it also helps if you wear 2 pairs of socks, thick ones..

do you use a "little cushion" Arthur? how cute...
