My clutch plate  is making weird noises when i reverse and when i put my clutch in the revs idel down .. to the point that it almost stalls.  

I have a brass button puk clutch...  

Whats the deal homies?  I only got this thing put in like last year?  :nowigetit

there might be a problem with your thrust bearing thats making that noise but sounds like its not disengaging properly too thats why its almost stalling see a clutch guy PVP i would see he is good with that sorta stuff on muller road

Does the clutch engage at the top of the pedal travel? Have you checked master and slave cylinders are fully tightened in place? Checked the clutch pedal mounting under the dash? There should be enough adjust that you can stop this happening - as it sounds like the clutch isnt fully disengaging.

A few things to look at anyhow.

Gee Erica should I bring my overalls around and we can snap to it? I'm sure we can figure that out being the mechanics that we are :nowigetit

Definately sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging.

Check the master cyclinder for leaks on both the inside of the firewall and the outside. (Mine was leaking on the inside down the firewall and down the clutch pedal)

Flick the rubber boot on the slave cyclinder and check there isn't any fluid in their. If there is then chances are its leaking and letting a little bit of air in the system causing the clutch not to disengage.

I had a similiar issue. My master cyclinder was stuffed. I poped down to some brake and clutch joint behind the caltex servo on south road at St.Mary's. The bloke there has a R33 Skyline and knows what parts to use. The master cyclinder from memory cost me $65.

EDIT: The shaft that connects to the clutch pedal can also be adjusted.

If its only started doing it then I'd say it isn't the adjustment but air in the system or if your really unlucky the clutch fork could be farked.

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
