I have a 89 240sx with the r5 in it over here in the usa. I just put in my spec clutch disc and act pressure plate. Drove the car last night. I went to work, left work and went to a store before I went home. Well my slave cylinder went out on me at the store. Press the clutch pedal and all the fluid escaped from the slave cylinder behind the boot. Do I have to get a nismo slave cylinder to cure this problem or is it one of those....." well the motor has been sitting for like 10 yrs or so it was probably worn out,"???

Any input is appreciated. I just dont want this to happen again.

the peice that the release bearing presses onto was stuck at the end of the shaft by the pressure plate. I have never seen that before. I ended up grinding down the bevel in the iside and made it smooth. No more getting stuck.

the stuck bearing is what caused the slave failure. Since the bearing wasnt moving something had to give. And that happened to be the rubber seal inside the slave cylinder.

sounds like you may have an over-travel issue. is shouldnt have to move that far to disengage clutch.

    • 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.
