Clutch Slave Cy. I Think $95 Is A Ripoff

[hazerb30]

whats the deal.. Slave cylinders should be $20-$30 yet the only ones i see on here are all genuine nissan for $95+

Yeh sure its a gtr whatever.. just dont see the need to pay so much for a basic part

Has anyone managed to find aftermarket part for a r32 GTR ?

Edit : its a 89 gtr so the push type for mine i guess.

genuine nissan theres the first problem, take your slave cylinder to a brake/clutch specialist and see if they can compare it to a different model car, ie my 32 has a slave cylinder that is also used on a series 3 TRX bluebird which is $18.

Yeh i understand but ive trawled these forums for info on aftermarket for 32 gtr and no one seems to mention them.. maybe there is a part number that works and people are keeping it a secret.

It would suck to have to get the slave off the car, its my daily driver and all ive got atm

Where u get quoted $95 from?

Not that it matters too much anyhow, i went and paid $114 from northside nissan for mine. Mike at ABS (v good service) in osy park was going to match it up for me. Needed to take it off then go see him on a satuday. Was just more convienient for me to buy one that i knew would fit and replace it, less stuffing round. Yeh is just a basic 3/4" slave, nothing special about it. Coventries, repco etc etc only have the r31 skyline one available, different part # to the gtr one apparently

People don't normally keep part numbers secret - there's no reason to.

Most liekly, no one has thought of finding an aftermarket one yet. e.g. when they heard the price $95, they bit the bullet, and said yes sir.

I find that nissan has a range of parts with some very cheap (compared to other manufacturers), some very expensive. e.g. take an oil filter as an example - $7.20. Even valvoline ones at supercheap are $10.

Normally, I just bite the bullet with nissan because I'm lazy, and I would like to believe that they are better quality (not necessarily the case

you can always just make one yourself

honda ones are all around $60ish buck's cept s2000's n nsx's which are around the $230 mark so i dont reckon $95 is to much of a rip off, although when customers really really annoy my boss i've seen that $60 has been known to make its way up as far as $115, me on the other hand i like to charge the correct prices, and discounts to the pretty ladyz and anyone who mentions anything about moddifying cars or skylines,
