NIsmo Clutch installation problems

Hi,

I have another problem.

Just come back from new clutch installation Coppermix twin plate clutch pull type for my r33 GTR

The first test drive was ok and the clutch and gears worked properly. I test drived my car for about 2-3km come back to my mechanics to pay.

When i come back to my car and start driving again the clutch start making big squeaking noise when pushing the clutch pedal and changing geras.

I also notice that the clutch pedal got some vibrations when released.

I put new NIsmo set, light flywheel with twin clutch plate, new release bearing and new pilot bearing and also new slave cylinder

I think i have changed everything about the clutch except the master cylinder or the clutch pump you call it. 

Can it be the issue with clutch master cylinder or pedal clutch adjustment or something went wrong during the clutch installation?

Well, take it back for sure to have them have a look.....my first guess would be the pedal bracket may gave snapped which is related to, but not caused by, a heavier clutch...

But it could be a bunch of things.....

It happened to be only release bearing not placed at the right position inside the clutch. Only one side was inside, i dont know how this is possible but had to take everything out again. We used more force this time to hooked up the release bearing with the clutch. It looks like all is ok now. I got paranoid yesterday and still learning about my car the hard way as always.

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
