Leaking Clutch Fluid

Hi all,

The clutch fluid has been leaking consistently from my r32 for the past month or so, and I have just been refilling it when needed. However, I think it's about time I had it fixed.

I recieved a quote from a workshop of around $500 to replace the slave/master cylinders(with new items I believe), but I am wondering if there are any other options. Is it a good idea to replace both cylinders(assuming only one is faulty)? How about wreckers... or is this just asking for more trouble? anyone had this problem before? Help would be great, cheers.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Strike that ripoff merchant from the list of workshops to trust.

Haha, I'm glad you said that... I was getting worried that 500 was the amount I was going to have to cough up. Dealing with mechanics is still new to me.

Moodles, cheers for the link, very likely I'll be buying from there. Now if only I knew where the leak is coming from I wouldn't have to buy both...

The quote of $500 seems rather pricey. However, it is good practice to replace both cylinders even if only 1 is faulty.

I'd ask around and get more quotes.

Sorry mate, but what kind of kit do ya mean? :D

A recon kit. It has the seals and piston rubbers in it. Put one through your master and while you're at it, drop one into your slave.

Go to Nissan, a brake parts store, or an auto store like Stupid Cheap to buy them.

This is an EXAMPLE ONLY of what you're looking for: http://www.shopping.com/xDN-automotive_par...er_cylinder_kit

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
