Sorry for the noob question.

depending on what model you car is

master cylinder - located infront of driver side (dont mistake for brake master cylinder - refer to owners manual)

slave cylinder - located under car along side the transmission

curious, do r33 clutch master cylinders fit on r32's? (non gtr for both)

[Sarumatix]

Hmm well I have a GT-R gearbox so i'm guessing I need this one => http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/ni...3334-p-384.html

Is it worth changing the slave as well to be sure? The symptoms are that as it gets hotter the clutch pedal moves higher up the pedal to the point of it slipping on 35+ days.

33gtst masters do fit on 32gtst's (need to modify the rod slightly), the 33 item is shorter and people use them when putting forward facing plenums on.

32gtr master is different as it is vacuum assist (and have special cutouts in the firewall etc). If you are putting a GTR box in a GTSt platform then you have to use the GTSt master cylinder.

I also have a funny feeling that GTS4 is the same as GTSt, not GTR.

Yes I believe you are correct as well.. and I don't want to trial by fire . I'm sure the GT-R unit uses the booster, but i'm also sure it is often removed because it doesn't add a lot to the equation. In this case to people switch to gts-t masters?

[bubba]

Hmm, I wonder what would be involved to fit a GTSt master cylinder to a GTR.. might need some platework on the firewall as I'm 99% sure the firewalls are completely different (in that area anyway).

GTs4 here, GTsT master cylinder.. piece of piss to change. Bought mine from kudos as well.

master and slave package --> http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/ni...-gtst-p-61.html

pic there is the same as what I have bolted on my car, after I had gotten a few frights with the clutch pedal sitting on the floor.

Dang boned because I have GTS4 (with RB26) + GT-R gearbox so i'm guessing that package wont work in my case. Oooh just notice you have the same thing??

[heller44]

ahha..

so there is a difference between slaves.. here is the gtr one. same price as the gtst one.

Ya i've had advice from professionals that I should use a gts-4 master and gt-r slave :S. But most advice points to gts-4 master and slave. The question I guess is what is the difference in slaves? do they all bolt up the same (even push on pull?).

[heller44]

Get under the car and look. In the package there is a pic of the gtst one, looks like one mounting hole each side of the body. On the gtr / gts4 one there are two holes on one side.

If your car is push, it will have the clutch arm to the rear of the slave cylinder, pull other way around towards the front.

If things are still not clear, get a picture of each and throw it up here.

Hehe car is at a workshop atm.. but thanks for that advice I will definitely check ASAP. I definitely have an early R32 GT-R gearbox (push type) as that's the clutch I just put in it . I also definitely have a GTS-4 master cylinder.

gts 4 slave cylinders are very slightly different. GTR slave's have an indent where the nut locks into to stop twisting. I have a spare GTR slave and master cylinder sitting at home. Might want to change the seal on the slave (not manditory) and the master is in excellent condition (used).

[Sarumatix]

The question is.. is there any functional difference between the two? as in running a GTS-4 master but a GT-R slave would leave the clutch engagement at the wrong spot? Or is it simply a difference in the mounts? I'm certain the GT-R and GTS-4 masters have different ratios.

[heller44]

.. Mine works.. on an ORC twin and feels good. Just adjust it for the right pickup point. Massively light compared to the original single plate that was in there, ex wouldn't drive it cos took too much force to hold the clutch pedal in.
