I have no idea what these are and where to get them :D . Can anyone enlighten me as i've been informed that my slave/master is rooted.

Sorry for the noob question.

depending on what model you car is

master cylinder - located infront of driver side (dont mistake for brake master cylinder - refer to owners manual)

slave cylinder - located under car along side the transmission

shop around for prices

Hmm well I have a GT-R gearbox so i'm guessing I need this one => http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/ni...3334-p-384.html

Is it worth changing the slave as well to be sure? The symptoms are that as it gets hotter the clutch pedal moves higher up the pedal to the point of it slipping on 35+ days.

33gtst masters do fit on 32gtst's (need to modify the rod slightly), the 33 item is shorter and people use them when putting forward facing plenums on.

32gtr master is different as it is vacuum assist (and have special cutouts in the firewall etc). If you are putting a GTR box in a GTSt platform then you have to use the GTSt master cylinder.

I also have a funny feeling that GTS4 is the same as GTSt, not GTR.

Yes I believe you are correct as well.. and I don't want to trial by fire :P. I'm sure the GT-R unit uses the booster, but i'm also sure it is often removed because it doesn't add a lot to the equation. In this case to people switch to gts-t masters?

GTs4 here, GTsT master cylinder.. piece of piss to change. Bought mine from kudos as well.

master and slave package --> http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/ni...-gtst-p-61.html

pic there is the same as what I have bolted on my car, after I had gotten a few frights with the clutch pedal sitting on the floor.

Ya i've had advice from professionals that I should use a gts-4 master and gt-r slave :S. But most advice points to gts-4 master and slave. The question I guess is what is the difference in slaves? do they all bolt up the same (even push on pull?).

Get under the car and look. In the package there is a pic of the gtst one, looks like one mounting hole each side of the body. On the gtr / gts4 one there are two holes on one side.

If your car is push, it will have the clutch arm to the rear of the slave cylinder, pull other way around towards the front.

If things are still not clear, get a picture of each and throw it up here.

Hehe car is at a workshop atm.. but thanks for that advice I will definitely check ASAP. I definitely have an early R32 GT-R gearbox (push type) as that's the clutch I just put in it :P. I also definitely have a GTS-4 master cylinder.

gts 4 slave cylinders are very slightly different. GTR slave's have an indent where the nut locks into to stop twisting. I have a spare GTR slave and master cylinder sitting at home. Might want to change the seal on the slave (not manditory) and the master is in excellent condition (used).

The question is.. is there any functional difference between the two? as in running a GTS-4 master but a GT-R slave would leave the clutch engagement at the wrong spot? Or is it simply a difference in the mounts? I'm certain the GT-R and GTS-4 masters have different ratios.

.. Mine works.. on an ORC twin and feels good. Just adjust it for the right pickup point. Massively light compared to the original single plate that was in there, ex wouldn't drive it cos took too much force to hold the clutch pedal in.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
