Hey guys so I have one of these that i have just fitted up with the new donk and I'm just wanting to know what everyone that has one thinks about the release point on it?!

I find myself constantly slipping the clutch to much because the bloody release point is just about at the end of the stroke! I hate it its nice and light dosnt shudder but which is mad for a clutch that apparently can handle a lot of power but that very very late release point is crap.

Anyone else experience this or is it just me and some how I have buggered up somewhere? OR is there a way someone has discovered to correct it?

cheers

Is the clutch rod (between the pedal & the master cylinder) adjustable in your car - I know it is in an R33 GTST but no idea on an R32. If it is, adjust the length to set the takeup point where you want it - shorten the rod will make it grip at a lower pedal position.

Yeh i could do but then the pedal will sit lower and dosnt really fix the concern. The only time I have driven clutches that feel like this are ones on the way out? Strange on the gismo site they do say that they have designed it to only have 15% of the original stroke..

I was more worried I had buggered something up but if that's how they are then it's all G I guess! Thanks for that bud!

If I put a bigger slave on it it would increase the stroke required and make the pedal even lighter win win might have to look into that now then

I could be wrong but don't they recommend not using a Nismo slave cylinder with the Coppermix? Again only recalling stuff I thought I read in the past!

This is true, but I call bullshit. Mine has been working fine for the last 9 years with the Nismo slave. No idea why they say this.

Definitely going to run one of those nismo slaves! The only reason you wouldn't run a bigger slave is if your running out of pedal travel and the clutch doesn't disengage properly with the extra stroke required but it is disengaged with something silly like 4mm of travel so no probs with that!?

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
