Can anyone ID this part for me? It's in cabin, behind the clutch. Someone told me its the Clutch Pedal Box. does this make any sence? I can't change gears (unless i push til it grinds and makes really bad noises). So i cant drive my car.

If anyone knows what this is, is there anywhere you know that i can get it? i was also told that it might be universal??? any ideas greatly appreciated. I miss my baby, i have to subsitute with a VL commonwhore.

thanks,.

More information please. When you say a grinding noise, is it from around the pedal or under the car near the clutch itself? The photos show the master cyclinder of the clutch which is like a pump that operates a slave cylinder that disengages and engages the clutch. If the grinding noise is in the master cylinder you can get a replacement fairly easily.

Sorry. More info...right.

Its not the master cyclinder (if thats the round tube thing), its the metal. In the first pic, the bit that is circled has snapped off from the rest, and now the clutch doesnt engage. so when i say it grinds, its becuase its not going in, as if there is no clutch.

When i push the clutch in, the broken bit moves kinda, but its spose to be joined to the rest of it, so im guessing thats why it doesnt engage.

its really hard to get in there and have a good look. i guess to really see the problem i would have to look at another skyline. but i dont know many.

anyway, hope that extra info helps. thanks

just a stupid and may be highly annoying ordeal to do. You may be able to just weld it back up, if you know anyone that is handy with a mig, or better yet a tig (less sparks) You would of course have to take out the clutch master cylinder, and also any carpet you have, or put a welding blanket down, then again, i dont know how hard it is to get in there, may be very difficult ... what model is it?

Lot of stuffing around, but it will be MUCH easier to work on if you remove it from the car. And to do that, you need to remove the instrument cluster (to get at a bolt up the top), amongst other things.

Been there, done that. The pedal box is distorting, and remove some of the "throw" off the pedal onto the clutch master.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
