As title states i'm having some issues bleeding the clutch on my 32 GTR.

The slave seized up so i installed a new one but i'm having problems bleeding it.

Ive read the sticky and the user manual but to no avail. There is no splitter in my system just a line directly from the master to the slave. The previous owner had changed the clutch, i'm assuming he had the splitter removed.

From the guides i have read they require the master to be bled, then the splitter, then finally the slave. Problem is my master doesn't have a bleed nipple, and i don't have a splitter, so that just leaves the slave. Ive attempted to bleed it by filling the master, pushing the peddle all the way down, cracking the nipple, then pulling the peddle up. This doesn't create any pressure in the system.

I'm stumped :)

nope, i crack it when its down, close it then the peddle gets pulled up.

When i pump the peddle the fluid in the reservoir moves up and down, but it doesn't seem to be pumping it with any pressure to the slave.

I just tried to bleed it using a hand pump, still no go.

I'm starting to think it might be the master, but i'm not to keen on pulling it out and taking it apart to check.

Had similar issues with mine. I took it to ABS. They fitted a suction tube connected to their air compressor, onto the bleed nipple of the slave cylinder. Problem solved. Its a common fault. Hope this helps

If you don't have a bleed nipple on the master, then crack the union where it connects to the master.

I wanted to do that, wasn't to sure if it would do any more harm than good.

Took it in to the mechanic, clutch master is gone as well. Need to get a new one.

I've read in several threads that its possible to use a clutch master from a Y60(GQ) Patrol or from an RB25 GTS-t/pathfinder

Seems like the patrol master is only good for the 32 gts-t, anyone know if it fits a 32 GTR?

Part numbers would be useful if anyone knows them.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
