As title states i'm having some issues bleeding the clutch on my 32 GTR.

The slave seized up so i installed a new one but i'm having problems bleeding it.

Ive read the sticky and the user manual but to no avail. There is no splitter in my system just a line directly from the master to the slave. The previous owner had changed the clutch, i'm assuming he had the splitter removed.

From the guides i have read they require the master to be bled, then the splitter, then finally the slave. Problem is my master doesn't have a bleed nipple, and i don't have a splitter, so that just leaves the slave. Ive attempted to bleed it by filling the master, pushing the peddle all the way down, cracking the nipple, then pulling the peddle up. This doesn't create any pressure in the system.

I'm stumped :)

nope, i crack it when its down, close it then the peddle gets pulled up.

When i pump the peddle the fluid in the reservoir moves up and down, but it doesn't seem to be pumping it with any pressure to the slave.

I just tried to bleed it using a hand pump, still no go.

I'm starting to think it might be the master, but i'm not to keen on pulling it out and taking it apart to check.

Had similar issues with mine. I took it to ABS. They fitted a suction tube connected to their air compressor, onto the bleed nipple of the slave cylinder. Problem solved. Its a common fault. Hope this helps

If you don't have a bleed nipple on the master, then crack the union where it connects to the master.

I wanted to do that, wasn't to sure if it would do any more harm than good.

Good to know its not such a big problem.

Cheers guys :worship:

Took it in to the mechanic, clutch master is gone as well. Need to get a new one.

I've read in several threads that its possible to use a clutch master from a Y60(GQ) Patrol or from an RB25 GTS-t/pathfinder

Seems like the patrol master is only good for the 32 gts-t, anyone know if it fits a 32 GTR?

Part numbers would be useful if anyone knows them.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
