My clutch booster is squealing. I was going to replace it, but then dang ole' dang ole, i found a booster delete set up. How much heavier would a stock clutch, or dual carbon clutch be if this booster was removed? Honestly, would it be worth it? r32 gtr 1991

worth it? well its not going to be an upgrade.

i assume a delete setup would simply be a bypass? could you not bypass it temporarily and see what the clutch feels like that way?

Put it this way - with a heavy duty clutch I looked into fitting a booster but was too much trouble and never got round to it. On the other hand if there was one already fitted I can't think of any reason to get rid of it.

I haven't tried back to back, but almost no cars use a clutch booster.....Nissan over engineered a lot with the GTR which is great, but I think in this case it wasn't necessary

apart from the oil system

lolololol

Can't you just disconnect the vacuum to the booster and see how hard it is?

Or push the clutch a few times with the engine off? Unless they are different bore master cylinders, that's how it will feel with no booster.

How easy is this ???

Like Ben said, drop the vacuum by depressing the clutch a few times and then see how you like the un-assisted pedal.

Certainly not for me, I want all the assist available.

Takes some load off the well known-weak-as-piss pedal, why would you go to the trouble of deleting it.

Pay the bucks.

A bit under $300 from Kudos gets you a new unit or around $100 will get the old one reconditioned.

Drove around with the vacuum disconnected. It's not heavy, but after a while it just gets annoying. I have decided to just replace the booster. Also, the annoying squealing went away when I disconnected it lol. Proper troubleshooting without even trying.

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
