R33 Gtr Clutch Adjustment

[fletch63]

Hi guys,

Put this post up in general maintenance section and no replies as yet so I thought I'd ask some fellow sandgropers

I have just upgraded from a 33 GTST to a GTR and need to know how to adjust the grab point of the clutch as it is almost at the top of the clutch pedal throw

I did this on my GTST but this looks totally different

Can someone help as I have never worked on a GTR before

Cheers

Can you take a pic of the top of the clutch pedal?

Should be the same on a GTST, Just "unlock" the 14mm nut and adjust the rod accordingly?

Hydraulic system should never need adjusted! Sounds like someone has changed, fkd with something or the clutch itself is sad!

LOL " Should be the same " GTR run a clutch booster and is not wise to adjust the rod , adjusting the pedal will just screw things over . Let the people who know offer the advice ..

The "same" in the sense they run the same type of rod/adjustment system regardless of having a booster or not.

In regards to the adjustment anyone who has fitted an after market clutch (say a twin plate) would have adjusted this rod to get the correct pedal adjustment. Just be carefull when adjusting. You always need about 2-3mm freeplay.

No free play will lead to excessive clutch wear, and too much will lead to a high grab point.

Oh an working on vehicles 5 days a week for almost 7 years, I think I have the "know" to give out this kind of advice

So you adjust the pedal side of a boosted clutch and nothing else ?

I tried but failed in adjusting clutch

On my GTST there is a 12mm lock nut and a post to screw in/out

On the GTR the setup is the same but the post is covered by a rubber grommet all the way from the locknut to the firewall.

I tried to pull the grommet back but it doesn't look like it should be messed with.

There is also a pedal adjustment that doesn't effect grab point just gives you a longer or shorter maximum throw of the pedal

HELP

Anyone ???

Does this mean there is no adjustment and my clutch is worn?

Someone with a R33 GTR must have adjusted their clutch.......please help!

A high grab point on the clutch also means there isn't much meat left on the clutch plate/s..
