Anyone Have A Spare Clutch Master Cylinder?

[Michele]

After spending the afternoon making the GTR shite'n'briny for Wheels tomorrow, the master cylinder appears to have shat itself.

So unless someone happens to have a spare floating around and is bored enough to be on the forum... I won't be able to take the GTR tomorrow

Oh that's poo, sorry to hear it

Did you end up sorting it out?

No, she didn't get to Wheels today. Took the open wheeler though and caught up with the dark side... drooled over Bobs R35 for a while Reece had a grin from ear to ear after driving Bobs R34 saw Mick and we didn't fight once

It was a great day and good to catch up with so many.

Now its time to order in a master cylinder... any suggestions as to where is the best place to get it from?

What seems to be the problem with the cylinder Michele?

When my Silvia's master cylinder gave way I ended up getting it re-sleeved, might want to consider that if it's not cheap or readily available. If it's already out a decent Brake place should be able to get it re-sleeved within the day.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

You can get rebuild kits or get them rebuilt. I think most brake places can rebuild them, pretty much clean it, bore it and put the rebuild kit threw it (I think, I haven't done one yet). The kit itself is cheap around $30ish. A whole brand new PBR cylinder is around $240, I'm not sure about the nissan one but someone said it was cheaper (????).

Started with the clutch feeling as if it wasn't taking up until almost half way, Mark thought he would bleed it, but noticed what looked like dirty fluid coming back up into the reservoir (which is weird) so decided to completely flush it out... then with new fluid in, even with all bleed screws open, it wouldn't pump fluid through lines, as I pumped the clutch the fluid in the cylinder would drop a little then raise again the same amount i.e. no fluid would actually leave the reservoir. We tried for an hour or longer and couldn't get it pump the fluid through.

Are the rebuilds as reliable as replacing the unit? Noticed they are $320 at Just Japs atm.

Sounds a lot like what happened to my VL, was blabbing about it to Mark the other night I think, though was just on the subject of having to drive without a clutch.

If you haven't already, and could be bothered, take the entire master cylinder off and dismantle it. I can't quite remember what spring it was, but there was a large spring inside that had actually broken into 3 pieces. Unfortunately I didn't get much of a chance to learn how it all worked, but without the resistance of the spring until the pedal was almost fully pushed to the floor, there was no pumping of the fluid. Also once it did actually pump the tiny bit at the end, it would appear to just flow back through to the reservoir.

If this is exactly what's happened with yours, PM, reply or call me (0431391359) and I'll find out where we picked up the replacement spring from.

There's a good chance your situation has nothing to do with what I just said above, but hey, it's always possible and worth a shot, especially if you're just going to replace the unit anyway
