Just don't drain it first or you'll have a heap of fun trying to get fluid back into the master cylinder.

Just fill the reservoir up and pump the fluid through, topping up the reservoir as you go. Do it the same way as you would your brakes. Stop when the fluid coming out of the slave bleed is clean and bubble free.

This may sound like a stupid question.. but where the hell is the clutch reservoir on a RB25DET GTST. My clutch is slipping like a biatch, and im hoping it 'may' be fluid as im broke

I doubt its clutch fluid.. havin low or air in the fluid makes your pedal go to the floor without disengaging the plates it wouldnt affect the operation of the clutch when the peddal is not depressed. sorry sounds like new clutch time

Yeh... i just got some clutch fluid today... but found out my reservoir was actually OVER filled, took some out but still the same. I think i need to go for a new clutch too

i would also recommend before getting a new clutch..

check your master and slave cylinders as sometimes the seals in these things go and they dont hold the clutch fluifd in as its leaking out through the sides. UIsyour master clutch cylinder leaking?... if so u can get a new one for 70 bux or a slave one for 60bux.

it wouldnt be leaking cos the reservoir was full (overfull actually) That was my first thought, but if it were leaking, my guess is that it would be bone dry. Also ive tried taking some fluid out but clutch is the same.

Im booked into getting a "9 Puck cushion button extra heavy duty clutch" ... or whatever the hell that is. I was told that would be good, for $850 installed. Plus possibly $50 for machining of the flywheel if needed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)

      Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
