Hey guys. Well I FINALLY got in my ATS/Carbonetics Clutch, however I have not received my Nismo slave cylinder yet. I am wondering how difficult is it to change out a slave cylinder? I mean can I get my shop to change out the clutch now and then I install the Nismo slave cylinder at the house myself in a few days? I would not think it is a very difficult job, however I could of course be wrong as I don’t really know what is necessary to do it. Any info you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. Also if it is indeed a DIY job, if you guys can give quick instructions I would appreciate that as well. Thx a lot.

So I just got off the phone with ATS/Carbonetics and they tell me that I SHOULD NOT use the Nismo slave cylinder with their clutch. From what they tell me, it will not work properly and will actually sacrifice performance. I had no idea of this as I had always heard the upgrade was a good thing. Any opinions?

On a side note, with ATS/Carbonetics you actually DO the pull to push conversion. They send you everything you need in the box in order to do it! I had NO IDEA of this until I talked to the guy again.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
