just looking in and around the engine to see what will be affected if I go down the 26/30 road, if the head raises 28mm ( I've been told ) most stuff looks fine, I think my dump will be alright but the hypertune intake plenum will foul on the clutch master cylinder, I'm sure I'm not the first to come across this, so is there an adaptor or something for the clutch cylinder to move it 20mm ??? what have others done ??

ok I've found an answer to my original question but now have a couple more : so people that have had this problem ( albeit in s13's and R32"s )have used R33 GTS clutch master cylinders, my car is an R33 GTR so is the GTS one shorter and will it be ok for an OSgiken triple plate ??

Do 33GTR's still have the clutch booster? not sure if the non-booster master cylinder will work with the booster...

Its on the fire wall right at the back of the intake beside the brake master, 1995 GTR, I assume its the clutch master, could be wrong, but what else could it be, seems to be the same problem others have had, ill see if I can upload a pic

<br />I got an aftermarket Terrano clutch m/c (no room for booster)  Terrano R50 30610-4W000<br />
<br /><br /><br />

what clutch did you run with that M/C, affect it at all ? mines OSGiken triple so pretty heavy, will the Terrano handle that....

<br />I helped build this motor(rb28), it all fits. Very close but went in. We covered the Plenum in tape prior to install. <br /><br />Matt<br />

what you helped build Allan's (SLY33) 28, which is now mine, has some detonation on #6 so engine has to come, so looking at the 26/30 option and sell the 28 bottom end- needing new pistons...

anyway how did you go getting yours in, or if you have a different plenum, is it not a problem?

Yep, Allan the Dentist. It has custom CP's in it from memory, James had them made up after the HKS pistons had issues. I remember how this engine revved.. I would be sticking with the 28 and just changing the turbo setup to be honest.

Some kind of aftermarket heavy duty single plate cutch came with the R33 GTR box. I think the piston is the same size (you could check with yours) so thats all that matters really. My clutch was already pretty heavy as no booster.

The point I was trying to make is that with 32GTR's, they run a vacuum assisted clutch (CLUTCH BOOSTER). This means that the master cylinder setup for GTR is different to GTSt and GTS4. If this is the case with 33GTR, then you won't be able to run a GTSt master cylinder.

ok thanks

I have an R33GTR gearbox and clutch in my Stagea - did without booster no problem (aprt from heavy pedal) and now with FF plenum have replaced clutch m/c with shorter (Terrano but other skyline ones will do also).

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
