After spending the afternoon making the GTR shite'n'briny for Wheels tomorrow, the master cylinder appears to have shat itself.

So unless someone happens to have a spare floating around and is bored enough to be on the forum... I won't be able to take the GTR tomorrow :)

Oh that's poo, sorry to hear it :banana:

Did you end up sorting it out?

No, she didn't get to Wheels today. Took the open wheeler though and caught up with the dark side... drooled over Bobs R35 for a while :P Reece had a grin from ear to ear after driving Bobs R34 :banana: saw Mick and we didn't fight once :down:

It was a great day and good to catch up with so many.

Now its time to order in a master cylinder... any suggestions as to where is the best place to get it from?

When my Silvia's master cylinder gave way I ended up getting it re-sleeved, might want to consider that if it's not cheap or readily available. If it's already out a decent Brake place should be able to get it re-sleeved within the day.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

You can get rebuild kits or get them rebuilt. I think most brake places can rebuild them, pretty much clean it, bore it and put the rebuild kit threw it (I think, I haven't done one yet). The kit itself is cheap around $30ish. A whole brand new PBR cylinder is around $240, I'm not sure about the nissan one but someone said it was cheaper (????).

What seems to be the problem with the cylinder Michele?

Started with the clutch feeling as if it wasn't taking up until almost half way, Mark thought he would bleed it, but noticed what looked like dirty fluid coming back up into the reservoir (which is weird) so decided to completely flush it out... then with new fluid in, even with all bleed screws open, it wouldn't pump fluid through lines, as I pumped the clutch the fluid in the cylinder would drop a little then raise again the same amount i.e. no fluid would actually leave the reservoir. We tried for an hour or longer and couldn't get it pump the fluid through.

Are the rebuilds as reliable as replacing the unit? Noticed they are $320 at Just Japs atm.

Sounds a lot like what happened to my VL, was blabbing about it to Mark the other night I think, though was just on the subject of having to drive without a clutch.

If you haven't already, and could be bothered, take the entire master cylinder off and dismantle it. I can't quite remember what spring it was, but there was a large spring inside that had actually broken into 3 pieces. Unfortunately I didn't get much of a chance to learn how it all worked, but without the resistance of the spring until the pedal was almost fully pushed to the floor, there was no pumping of the fluid. Also once it did actually pump the tiny bit at the end, it would appear to just flow back through to the reservoir.

If this is exactly what's happened with yours, PM, reply or call me (0431391359) and I'll find out where we picked up the replacement spring from.

There's a good chance your situation has nothing to do with what I just said above, but hey, it's always possible and worth a shot, especially if you're just going to replace the unit anyway :D

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
