so somehow, just seal the top and blow compressed air into it?

shoudl i leave the bleed on the slave open?

yes make a rubber bung or something to seal the top of the master and cut a tiny hole in it and put the air comp gun into it so its sealed and fluid doesnt go flying everywhere. yes leave the bleed open.

dont put much air into it, it only requires enough to force the fluid through the line and get all the air pockets out.

hold the bung on hard to incase it wants to pop off the master :bunny:

good luck

Do not stuff around with 10-15 year old master cylinders and re build kits

You are in Japan

A new master would be less than 8000yen from Nissan new

I bought a new R34 GTT here in Aus for approx $110 AU (approx 9500yen)

k sorry bud i got no suggestions at all then, this is the first jap car i ever had, all previous cars were either old shitfighters or auto's, only real manual i had any dramas with was an SS LX hatchback with a small block chev in it and after stuffing around with clutch blow ups i converted it to a powerglide with a trans-brake so was like a manual anyway.

so the stagea is the first manual car i have had in years.

cheers oxford

A pressure bleed like someone here suggested sounds like a good idea, just thought I'd say that I have seen master cylinders that you have to 'bench bleed'. When they're installed on the booster in the car, the master cylinder is often angled slightly upwards, with the end away from the firewall being higher. This allows an air bubble to become trapped in the master cylinder itself, and what the service manual for my bluebird recommended was to do a 'bench bleed' where you work the master cylinder by hand with it off the car and level on the bench, to get this air bubble out of the end of it. I experienced that problem and a bench bleed got my brakes back; don't know if this applies to clutches but I guess it might.

When I fitted the 26 I bled up the clutch on my own but admittedly it was manual before so fluid was probably trapped. When I did it the first time round when I did the manual conversion I had REAL issues getting fluid to flow through (I'm using an S14 master cylinder) but we had access to compressed air. The workshop I did it at (thanks again guys!!!!!) had a tool that hooked up to one nipple at a time & drew (sucked) the fluid through. Worked a treat & I had the best pedal ever!!!!!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
