About the only thing that you can adjust is the height of the clutch pedal. I doubt that this will have much impact on the actual grab point.

Are you concerned about the grab point? If so, try bleeding the system, there may be air in there. Remember, there are 3 bleeding points on the R33.

Neither am I ........ WICKED avatar dude.

 

There may be some adjustment on the slave mounting slots/holes, but it has been a while, but the best bet is a bleed first

Yeah cause at the moment its grabbing down low at a nice point but as it wears i expect it to grab a bit higher....And i was looking at the adjustment and if it had any for this reason..

:P

there is an adjustment at the top of the back of the clutch pedal.. hard to get to. all you do is undo the bolt the undo the rod and do up the bolt again. i think thats how you do it... i didn't do it, my mech did it.

It's hard to explain without pictures.

Actually, if you want to include the master cylinder, there are actually 4 bleever valves on the R33.

There are 3 bleeder valves that are only accessible undernieth the car. If you follow the piping from the master cylinder:

It depends on what you are doing. I drained the whole hydraulic system meaning that when I filled the system up again, I had to use the three bleeder valves

...Sorry...don't know what happend there..it posted my reply before I finished,,

Continue...

If you follow the piping from the master cylinder:

- there is a valve just after the bend heading towards the back of the car on a junction block

- there is a valve on the junction block just before the 'u' bolt where the piping changes direction heading towards the slave cylinder

- then you have one on the slave cylinder

If you are simply bleeding the system, just concentrate on the slave cylinder, get all the air out there

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
