Hey everybody

My clutch is F@#KED. Happened yesterday after i finished tafe. Took a bit of work to get it home. Anyways im gonna need a new clutch, preferably heavy duty or if someone can recommend something better. I dont have a lot of money to spend so take that into consideration, Also im positive my clutch cable snapped so replacing wouldn't be a bad idea either. Im in Ferntree Gully, Eastern Suburbs, are there any places worth considering. Kamikaze motors quoted me $650 fitted. I'd like to fix this asap. So HEEEEELLLLLPPPP.

Cheers

Guesty.

have a chat to chasers www.chasers.com.au they may have a good 2nd hand they can offer you or a new one, irecall some good pricing for a new one. also if its a series 1 r33 you can fit a nissan patrol heavy duty clutch as its the same push or pull type (cant remember). do a search for the nissan patrol and youll find the info you need, im pretty sure it only fits on the series 1 and its good for 200rwkw ish as its heavy duty and good price too as its a local part from most workshops

Clutch cable?? I believe you have an R33, they have a hydraulic clutch system, using a master cylinder and slave cylinder so no cable. New exedy HD clutch fitted from chasers = $850. What is the problem you are experiencing?? is the clutch slipping??? have you lost your clutch pedal?? are you having to force the gearstick into gear when trying to engage/change gears??

The clutch pedal seems to be non existant. Basically it aint doing anything, The clutch was slipping a bit and was about to get replaced, but know, i physically cant force it into gear. I tried putting it in gear then starting it, but it quickly stalled. Sigh... Help.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
