my car is at the workshop and the rb25/20 clutch master cylinder that i have in my car is way to long.

its an R32 with a Greddy plenum.

ive rang about 4 places today and they couldnt give me any answers.. one bloke told me to look into a datsun 1600 clutch master cylinder but he's never tried it.

the shop measured a 180sx clutch master cylinder n that MIGHT be short enough but the only one i could source was from autoone and it was 9.5cm -too long. nissan couldnt give me lengths just part numbers.

anyone know what i can use?

need help asap

cheers!

My mechanic had to shave the rear of my GReddy plenum to make it all fit. Didn't affect the tune or performance at all though which was good. But we later found out that an R33 GTS-t Clutch Master Cylinder would've done the trick. Oh well...

thanks for the info!

we used an R33 GTST clutch master and it fitted perfect! its half the size of an rb20det one

-tho they did have to fiddle a bit to get it in i believe an engine crane was used to lift the engine out of the way first

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
