Having a heavy duty clutch, and previously replacing my master and slave cylinder on my R32 GTS-T, i have heard that as additional pressure is needed to operate a heavy duty clutch, the stock ones (one i replaced the old one with) tend to fail quite often (every 1-2 yrs) as they are under this undue stress they were desgned for. Is this true? If so is there any stock replacements anyone can give me that will give greater amounts of pressure i need?

Cheers, David.

no, nismo dont make an upgraded clutch master as far as i know. they do make a larger bore slave cylinder which will reduce the pedal effort required to move the piston. (maybe it's the other way 'round - smaller bore). the only drawback is that you lose a little bit of clutch fork travel (easier to push, but doesnt move as much fluid - less movement).

i run an OS twin plate in my GTR. with the nismo slave pedal was easy to push, but occaisionaly had trouble getting first gear easily. swapping back to a stock slave the pedal is much heavier, but i dont mind it, plus i have that extra bit of travel back.

cheap replacement's are easy to come by aswell

the vl non turbo manual box shares the same SLAVE cylinder.

the local australian delliverd nissan patrol shares the same MASTER cyl.

from memory i picked up the master (i think it was an aftermarket replacement type) for about $25 dollars and the slave was about $30 odd. both brand new

    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
