Clutch Hard Piping

[godzl1975]

here is what happened to me tonight, my clutch pedel was feeling funny and thought cant be slave cylinder going again,clutch pedal went to the floor n no pressure.i just got a replacement nismo item. anyways when i finally got to my destination opened bonnet and all brake fluid splashed at the back of the plenum area.

Turns out to be the hard piping from the master cylinder to the separation box (R32 GTR) there is a small crack or pin hole, caused my the braided fuel return line.

Question is car is stuck at GF place, is there a quick fix of the hard piping????so i can get my car back home. n enuff time for me to get the maltech clutch line.

any help be appreciated

you could probably try and braze a patch over it?

car going to stay there ...hows the Maltech one, braided one from master cylinder to slave??

Usually goes the separation box then to slave cylinder, would that have any affect on the clutch??etc

I'd ask maltech direct as i have seen versions that go direct from master to slave and others that only replace the rubber hose.

As for repairs, how dodgy do you want to be, how quick do you need it back and how far do you have to go? 10minute araldite on the pipe over the hole, a little bit of aluminium sheet over the araldite and cable tie it on tight enough to squeeze the araldite out the edges of the sheet. Then give it an hour or so to set bleed the lines and you should get home.

If araldite doesn't get eaten by brake fluid it may just last forever.....
