Hi guys,

Bloody car lol...I fitted my clutch lines tonight to see if the car would move on its own for the 1st time in about 2yrs,

 

But I can't get a pedal, all was working fine when car was stripped,

 

I have an hel straight line so should bleed easy, ive bleed the clutch about 100 times lol and never had a problem,

 

I had the misses pumping the pedal and i was underneath and its only pushing the fork a tiny bit,

 

Funny thing is the pedal isn't staying down its returning but its very light even with engine off...

 

Anyone got any ideas,

providing there's no leaks no where, master cylinder seals?

The piston in the slave maybe seized after being left for so long, i had a similar problem when i did mine, as you have a Hel hose, take the slave off the gearbox and bleed it in the engine bay, try pushing the rod in and pull out with the depress of the pedal, it may free it up.

I remember when I fitted a new clutch slave cylinder I had a lot of trouble getting the dam system to bleed. I solved it

by priming the slave with a syringe filled with fluid and following the bleed process exactly as described in the FSM -

 

Pump quickly 1,2,3,4 pumps, hold down on last pump - open bleed valve (~half turn), close *then* release pedal. Repeat

again and again... You could hear the air being expelled each cycle.

I had troublr with mine standind then i fitted a new slave and master?

depress pedal over fill reservoir and leave pedal depressed over night with cap off reservoir if that dosent cure the problem its the slave pretty much seized or seals gone

Well my clutch works, I back bleed it with a pump type oil can, works great for bleeding and no mess filling the pot,

 

Just put some silicon tube on an oil can,

 

Put the pipe on the bleed nipple and get someone to watch the pot keep pumping to u fill the slave the pipe and the pot with fluid and shut nipple has u pump oil can...

 

But I still have a problem with the clutch, I bought a xtd clutch and flywheel,

And I was expecting the clutch to be heavy, but its to light,

I have had to disconnect the servo to make it feel like stock with the servo on it works but its just so light...

 

Anyone got any ideas now lol, an uprated clutch that is stupid light, the stock clutch without the servo was pretty heavy, this clutch feels stock with servo disconnected. ..

Does it work?

take youe servo off so it feels stock and your happy and ill have your servo and ill be happy lol. im sre mate urll sus it. good luck

Yeah it works but with servo on its like a pedal that has nothing connected to it,

And with the servo disconnected its like a stock clutch still light,

Oh I think I have found the problem bet they sent me an na clutch flywheel kit....

Invoice says nt clutch kit lol...why would they sell a stage 3 nt kit...

Probably because it's the same size as one used in another car I expect. Did you not notice it wasn't the right size when you installed it?

Theres 2 types on ebay for the 300zx one is around 269 and one is around 289,

I must have bought the one for 269 which says is stage 3 bla bla bla lol but then hidden the bugger says nt which I reckon stands for non turbo. ..

when u read them properly one is for tt and one for na, so it looks like im stuck with it cause I haven't got 300quid at the moment and its gonna be my problem for not reading it properly, cant see them replacing it,

Well it reckons it can hold a bit of power so I'll just use to it breaks and get a tt one and then I can plug my servo back in...

 

Z32 bolt it fitted just like a tt kit so I took no notice lol...

Be intrested to see how long that last. Will be funny if it lasts years and you forget about it.never mind problem semi solved.good luck terry

If it was an Na clutch it would be smaller in diameter, the flywheel comes with it right? If so the starter wouldn't engage on the ring. If you'd used the stock fly with an Na friction disc it wouldn't mesh up I don't think, the bolts on the finger plate part wouldn't line up, due to diameter difference at a guess. The finger plate designates the pressure you feel on the pedal does it not?

Yeah the fly should be smaller but its working fine on the starter but it is noisey when starting but not slipping on the teeth, I have 3 starters so dont care lol I just want to drive it a bit...

It says the nt clutch hold 400bhp and about the same torque so we will see...

The bearing lines up with the fingers no problem its the outter edge that is different in size,

And yeah the pressure plate forks must be lighter cause na has no servo.

The pedal has a different leverage point on the NA to compensate, I Spose the worst that will happen is the clutch will fail...
