Hi all,

Just bought an R33 GTR

The clutch grabs way too high and so I want to adjust

The guy I bought it off said new clutch fitted fairly recently so I hope it's not on the way out/he's telling porkys.

I did this adjustment at the pedal on my 33 GTST no worries.

But this looks totally different on the GTR

Searched forum could not find anything that helps much

Could anyone help....PLEASE!

work shop manual man google for it will be your best friend exploded veiws of exactly what you want to do
Thanks for your suggestion

I downloaded service manual. Went through all 489 pages and you wouldn't believe no mention of clutch at all!!

It certainly has eveything else I could need so very helpful but still no wiser as to how to adjust clutch

I suppose I will just have a play and see what happens

Suppose I can't do too much wrong

Thanks again

If it's grabbing way too high, it could be a few things like:

- worn clutch

- air pockets in the clutch lines

- dodgy slave

- dodgy clutch cylinder

It's not a cable clutch, so there isn't any real adjustments.

Still can't find how to adjust clutch

Some people say there is no adjustment

Some say there is and its simply to adjust the rod but it certainly isn't easy

There is a pedal height adj with a 14mm locknut

That doesn't help the grab point tho.

Then there is the rod/shaft that goes into the clutch cylinder thru the firewall

A 12mm locknut is on this but there is a rubber grommet/dust cover that covers the rod completely from the locknut to the firewall

so there is no way I can see to turn the rod.

Can anyone shed some light on this

PLEASE

Its driving me crazy and I have tried hard to research this to no avail.

This should be the one to adjust. It can't be totally covered by the dust seal, otherwise the rod wouldn't be able to be pushed by the pedal.

Very worst case, pull the instrument cluster out to get better access to the pushrod.

With all due respect "are you on drugs" :))))

The dust seal is concertinaed so as you push the clutch in the rubber dust cover squashes up.

Also I want to know how removing the instrument cluster which is 3 feet above would help.

But thanks anyway for bothering to assist
