hi guys,

i was cleaning up some wiring under the dash and while upside down i noticed that there was fluid on the top of the clutch.

so i pushed the peddle a couple of times and clutch fuild was coming out of the peddle inlet (where it goes through the firewall)

so im i up for a new master cylinder or just some seals???

extra info

car has had a HARD 110 000km

the clutch peddle is very very squeeky on both in and out is it related?

yep, its the clutch master cylinder. the cost of a brand new genuine nissan item is around the $120 - $130 mark, i dont know about the cost for a rebuild

and the clutch pedal squeak is the clutch fork pivot ball. there are a few threds about how to grease it to stop the squeak.

I had my master cylinder overhauled by Nissan for $50. Have done 25,000km since, including 4 drift days at Winton, with no problems.

how long did it take for them to do the rebuild? When the one in my 32 started leaking i need the replacement ready to go as my car was my daily driver, thats why i went for a new item.

Although I've seen a few track days mine is a daily driver as well and i told Nissan the same thing when i dropped my car off there. But i had a lot of work done in one stint. Rear main seal, clutch, new slave, rebuilt master cylinder, timing belt, rocker cover gaskets etc. But from memory i still had the car back with in a day or so.

One thing i did notice on the invoice though was that they had to sublet the overhaul of the master cylinder. But I'm not sure where they sent it to be done? A hydraulics place or...? Might be worth ringing a few places around and cutting out the middle man.

I replaced both my master and slave cylinder last year. Mine was leaking into the cabin too. I just dug through my car receipts, from nissan it cost me $104 for a new master assembly. You can however buy overhaul kits for them. Its pretty easy to replace. Remove the line to the assembly, remove the two bolts from the firewall, and remove the pin and shaft from the pedal (near the pedals inside the cabin). Then its just a matter or removing the assembly and fitting the new one.

You have to bleed out the fluid from the slave cylinder first then remove the lines from the slave and the master.

In my case I couldn’t remove the lines even using a breaker bar and my wanking hand. So I cut the lines at both ends and then removed the cylinders.

I bought a braided line to replace the cut pipe from “Tweakit” for like $80.

This also means now I can get rid of all the extra piping too.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
