R33 Gtst Clutch / Gearbox Info Needed

[Stealthynsa]

Hey guys my car is running now and good to go but after unbolting the clutch hydraulic thingy lol that pushing the lever on the gearbox to open the clutch itself I can't get it back in place to do up the 2 bolts.

So right now IDE love to go for a drive but I can't as I can engage the clutch without it bolted up, is there a certain way you need to go about it to be able to do so because it's to long to fit back in and bolt up? Thanks

Crack the nipple and push it back in. Bolt it up and then re bleed clutch

It's called a slave cylinder btw.

It may have jammed. Mine did this not long ago

If so take it to a brake shop and get them to re-kit it or sleeve it if its to far gone

Should be able to push the internals out and give the inside a light sand if its not to bad. Then if the seal is still ok you should be right to re-use it

[Simon-S14]

Don't sand. If you pull it apart and it looks scored or damaged in any way then it needs to be replaced. If it looks fine then reassy with clean brake fluid as a lube

If it has just light rust its fine to clean it up a bit. Honing it with a small hone would be best if you wanted to go buy one

Mine just had light surface rust near the end where the piston was not running. I gave it a light cleanup and it probably would have been OK to run again but decided to go get it refurbed.

They can be reconditioned alot cheaper then buying a new one so no need to throw it in the bin unless its completely f**ked. They can re-sleeve it anyway. Mine was going to be sleeved for $50 but turned out it was fine for just a hone, even after id cleaned it up

last time i bought one it was about 38 bucks for a brand new non genuine slave
