Hey all my slave died out on me today :( had to get a tow. My question is are they easy to rebuild? and are the rebuild kits easily available? (south australia) or would it be better getting a upgraded one like a z32 (think they fit?),would like the car ready for monday so i can drive to work lol.

thanks

daniel

A slave kit is a piece of cake to install. The only problem is getting one before Monday if you really needed it. Try to contact a couple of 7 day parts stores, you never know, you may get lucky.

yeah cheers for that was gonna do the rounds and check. would getting a upgraded one be better for my ceramic cusioned button clutch? could the cylinder of worn out as the clutch is harder?

ok well found a kit at sprints $12.95 in case any1 else needed to do this,but now my master is leaking :) so that wont be done until tomorrow. Would there be anything else that would make the clutch pedal depress all the way without springing back? the spring is still connected on the pedal and none of the mounts are broken? is it just the master thats stopping this or is something else wrong?

pivot? (might be a noob question) the bit where the pedal hangs from? had the master rebuilt today but its not bleeding properly the pedal still goes all the way to the back even if you barely touch it and doesnt spring back.and when pressing on it the slave doesnt even twitch.is there a special way to bleed this system as it has that block thing that the fluid goes in then goes out in a loop and comes back and then to the slave?

ok well just had another shot at it and the master wasnt springing back the cylinder kept getting jammed at the end,it looks as if the guy who put the new seals in put ones that were too big :thumbsup:.that would explain why no fluid was being bled through.dad is going to take it back to the guy who did it and ask him WTF? will let you know how it all works out tomorrow :S

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
