hey guys - your help on this would be very much appreciated..

i just replaced the clutch on my R32 to a exedy extra heavy duty organic clutch.. however when the mechanic fitted it on he also told me that the clutch master cylinder & slave cylinder needs to be replaced. there is a slight leak above the clutch pedal and when the clutch is engaged to change gears while the car is started it doesnt go in smoothly at all, u realy need to crunch the gear stick to push it into gear....

i suppose im wanting to get an idea whether this has happened to anyone else when they replaced their clutch... also do u guys have a general idea on how much a master & slave cylinder will cost. the mechanic says that it shudnt be any more dat $200 or so... is he ripping me off or what?

when he changed the clutch he also changed the rear main seal, machined the fly wheel... now he is sayin that i also need these 2 things. if you guys have a rough idea on prices this would be very very much appreciated...

yes u have to machine the flywheel

yes u have to replace the rear main seal, unless u want to pull it out again when it leaks

200 is a excellent price for new master and slave cylinders, and still a good price to get your existing ones recoed (including the new clutch fluid)

yep i had this same problem. for $200 they are probably reconditioning your master/slave cylinders - which means they will replace the seals, and if needed resleeve the bore with a new stainless steel sleeve.

The problem you will be experiencing is when you put the clutch pedal down fully, that you will have trouble getting in and out of gears, this is due to the fault with the hydraulic system (a master cylinder or slave cylinder problem or both) meaning that the clutch cannot be dissengaged properly.

and yes $200 is good, i paid $130 for just master cylinder reconditioning, fitting then new hydraulic fluid.

I gave it a try myself, to be honest with you for $200 go and get it done by the mechanic, the master cylinder is a bit of a bitch to remove if you dont have the right tools.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
