Hey all my slave died out on me today :( had to get a tow. My question is are they easy to rebuild? and are the rebuild kits easily available? (south australia) or would it be better getting a upgraded one like a z32 (think they fit?),would like the car ready for monday so i can drive to work lol.

thanks

daniel

A slave kit is a piece of cake to install. The only problem is getting one before Monday if you really needed it. Try to contact a couple of 7 day parts stores, you never know, you may get lucky.

yeah cheers for that was gonna do the rounds and check. would getting a upgraded one be better for my ceramic cusioned button clutch? could the cylinder of worn out as the clutch is harder?

ok well found a kit at sprints $12.95 in case any1 else needed to do this,but now my master is leaking :) so that wont be done until tomorrow. Would there be anything else that would make the clutch pedal depress all the way without springing back? the spring is still connected on the pedal and none of the mounts are broken? is it just the master thats stopping this or is something else wrong?

pivot? (might be a noob question) the bit where the pedal hangs from? had the master rebuilt today but its not bleeding properly the pedal still goes all the way to the back even if you barely touch it and doesnt spring back.and when pressing on it the slave doesnt even twitch.is there a special way to bleed this system as it has that block thing that the fluid goes in then goes out in a loop and comes back and then to the slave?

ok well just had another shot at it and the master wasnt springing back the cylinder kept getting jammed at the end,it looks as if the guy who put the new seals in put ones that were too big :thumbsup:.that would explain why no fluid was being bled through.dad is going to take it back to the guy who did it and ask him WTF? will let you know how it all works out tomorrow :S

    • Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?
    • It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time
    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
