I lost my clutch today and have found it to be a leaking. It is leaking where the rod from my pedal goes into the firewall and the fluid is slowly leaking inside the car. Is there a seal up there where the rod goes in I can replace? If not what is the course of action to remedy this problem. With a bleed and a refill every other day it is still useable but I do wish to fix it.

get it fixed a soon as you can. not good to have brake/clutch fluid running into you car. ruins your carpet and eats up paint, nasty stuff to have leaking everywhere. but yeah they are about $100 to $120, takes about 45min to an hour to swap by yourself. easy to do aswell. you could get it rebuilt and seals changed but its easier to just get a new one.

If it's leaking inside the cabin its's your clutch slave cylinder. You can get genuine Nissan ones for around $96 (R32) but if you wanted to do it on the cheaper side you can pick up second hand R31 parts for cheap. When my slave was gone i also had to overhaul the master cylinder aswell.

Good Luck :P

You have it arse about. :(

If its leaking inside the cabin its the master cylinder. You check if the slave is leaking by lifting the boot on the slave cylinder.

I've replaced mine with aftermarket items in the past. The slave has been good and cost me $38.

I tend to go through an aftermarket master cylinder once every 1-1.5years or approx 30,000km's. The master cylinders are ~$75.

With a std clutch the aftermarket would probably be fine; I run a clutch that feels like the brake pedal. :S

I had my master cylinder go a couple weeks ago. Ended up having to drive with no clutch for 2-3 weeks. Got real good at it aswell. Only proplem is having to turn off your car and start it in gear everytime you come to a stop. Was embarassing at first but got over it. lol.

Stoked to find this thread. Mines been doing this for ages but only just realised its leaking in the car :D

LOL mine hasn't got that bad. Mines a once a month or so job. Good to hear doesn't sound like a major problem :)

Just for future reference for anyone searching this topic. Mine WAS the clutch master cylinder and the part cost me $110 from Just Jap.

Including installation depending on labour charge 2 hours MAX you should be charged.. pretty simple job :D

If your just replacing the clutch master cylinder, you dont have to bleed all the fluid do you? Is there any certain procedures needed to be made to reduce the amount of air entering the system?

Yes rebleed whole hydraulic clutch system.

Does anyone know where I can find these aftermarket clutch master cylinders in sydney? And prices?

Does a new r31/VL master fit 32?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
