Having a heavy duty clutch, and previously replacing my master and slave cylinder on my R32 GTS-T, i have heard that as additional pressure is needed to operate a heavy duty clutch, the stock ones (one i replaced the old one with) tend to fail quite often (every 1-2 yrs) as they are under this undue stress they were desgned for. Is this true? If so is there any stock replacements anyone can give me that will give greater amounts of pressure i need?

Cheers, David.

no, nismo dont make an upgraded clutch master as far as i know. they do make a larger bore slave cylinder which will reduce the pedal effort required to move the piston. (maybe it's the other way 'round - smaller bore). the only drawback is that you lose a little bit of clutch fork travel (easier to push, but doesnt move as much fluid - less movement).

i run an OS twin plate in my GTR. with the nismo slave pedal was easy to push, but occaisionaly had trouble getting first gear easily. swapping back to a stock slave the pedal is much heavier, but i dont mind it, plus i have that extra bit of travel back.

cheap replacement's are easy to come by aswell

the vl non turbo manual box shares the same SLAVE cylinder.

the local australian delliverd nissan patrol shares the same MASTER cyl.

from memory i picked up the master (i think it was an aftermarket replacement type) for about $25 dollars and the slave was about $30 odd. both brand new

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
