Keen for one for a R32 gtst Blue inserts, Clear coating but have a few questions first.

Is there a reason why they use a juction box and extra line standard? Maybe to damper the pressure? will this line affect the pressure needed or stroke required at the clutch pedal or will it cause pressures outside the cylinders capabilities? If anyone can answer this that would be good.

Is the picture an example of the clear coated ones?

Is there any proof sent that these are ADR approved?

Steve from Maltech has kindly supplied this info on the clutch lines:

"The only reason that l can see for the extra line and junction block is to give the clutch pedal a softer feel. Nissan is the only manufacturer that l have ever seen this set up on.

The master to slave clutch hose may make the clutch pedal slightly firmer to push, but we just fitted this type of hose to a GTR that had an extra heavy duty clutch fitted and you could hardly notice a difference in the pressure required to push the pedal.

The master to slave clutch hose will not affect the operation of the slave cylinder in a negative way.

Response from customers is nothing but positive, first point is that the hose was easy to fit, clutch bleed up straight away, and they now have a much more positive feeling clutch pedal, you can actually feel the point that the clutch is engaging at, and this point is exactly the same every time.

Clutch hoses are not required to meet any ADR standard, but having said that the master to slave clutch hose we produce does comply to ADR as it uses exactly the same hose, inserts and fitting type as the brake hoses.

This hose is also tested to 3500psi

Regards

Steve

I hope this helps :)

    • I'll chime in here with my experience. Motec is great if you have the money and know a good person to support you. They don't really offer retail support and the dealers make SFA margin on the product, so the business model is setup for you to be supported by a dealer. I'm lucky enough to know a guy who's ex Motec and very generous with his time and is a total boffin. In addition to that, I also use Brad Sherriff who's an absolute legend to work with. The downside to Motec is the software isn't very intuitive, pay to play, poor/limited online support and costly upgrades.  I've not owned an Emtron myself but a good friend runs a performance workshop in Melbourne who is an Emtron dealer. They won't be fitting any more to customer cars because of the poor level of knowledge within the Emtron support team and lack of ability to solve issues with the platform. Not to mention the circumstances around the establishment of the product and company in the first place. I've run Motec's since the old M8's back in the early 2000's so I'm certainly not without a bias but I look at it like this. Everyone acknowledges Motec as the best consumer grade product without spending mega dollars on Bosch Motorsport / Life Racing and so on. When you consider the real cost of your car (not what you tell your mrs) the cost difference between an Emtron and a Motec is tiny, why would you compromise over a few hundred dollars?
    • Closer to getting the shit box back on the road. That long hose, took 2 months to acquire. However the rest were all already to go same week I ordered them. For those playing at home, that long hose is for a RB25DE N/A motor, as they don't run a water/oil heat exchanger, the hoses underneath the plenum are much more elegant and not a maze of shit.
    • One thing you may be able to leverage is the fact that the R34 N/A has the same setup as a S15. The S15 also is a car that gets 350Z diff swapped, so they will also likely have this problem. The caveat of course is it's possible the dash is different between the R34 NA and the S15, but the subframe/sensors/axles/diff setup are the same. I can't remember now as it's been too long, but I don't generally think people need to swap dashes between the N/A dash and the turbo dash when they do things like change the gearbox out, turbo their car, manual swap it, it's just not something I've seen mentioned so this could be compatible.
