R32 Gts-4 Clutch Problem

Hi there,

Trying to resolve a clutch issue I'm having and after scouring the internet for days on end, I'm still stumped (although there are a few things I have not been able to check thus far!)

Basically, my car is having extreme difficulty selecting gears. I can shift into gears fine when the car is not turned on, but when the car is on, I have to Chris Brown my car into gear.

* my thrust bearing is noisy at all times, except after I smash the car into gear. I was under the impression that a noisy thrust bearing is a common R32 problem, but the noise shouldn't exist when the clutch is disengaged (pushed in), right?

* my clutch isn't bottomed out. The same level of resistance exists as when the clutch was operational and working as intended.

* clutch is an Exedy Cushion Button clutch with ~ 4,000km/s on it.

* fluids are fine all round.

* I have not yet been able to get the up on stands/ramps/hoist to check the slave and master cylinders. This is what I believe the issue may be.

What are the potential problems given that I have not checked slave/master cylinders yet? Would it likely be one of these or is the clutch mounting bracket potentially a culprit? (have read this in another SAU thread relating to this issue)...

Any help is appreciated. Tax is just around the corner so figured I would figure this out and add whatever is required to the shopping list :P

So I took the bitch for a drive today. Was kinda annoyed that I couldn't find the problem. Thrashed the shit outta her and clutch/gears are working A+ rofl...

Problem seems to be solved for now. I suspect the issue arised because my nephew was shifting into gears while the car was off and it's been sitting ever since.

Oh well. Till next time!

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
