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.

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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
