Whats Stuffing Up The Clutch Master Cylinder Or Slave Cylinder

Hey guys recently the clutch in my R34 GTT has started to play games with me.

I have Exedy Cushion Button with Exedy lightweight flywheel installed about 1000kms ago and for the past couple of weeks my clutch won't disengage fully. Sometimes I can't get it into gear and I have to pump the clutch a couple times and sometimes if I'm holding the clutch in and it's in gear the clutch engages on it's own asif I have let go of the clutch (scared the fark out of me a couple times while reverse parking).

I have changed the clutch fluid and re-bled the system, was better for a couple of days and it's playing up again.

There are no leaks anywhere, I'm stumped as to if it's the master or the slave cylinder or could it be something else?

If it is the slave cylinder is it worth getting the Nismo version with a bigger bore.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I have played with the Adjustment on the pedal, doesn't make a difference, really it should be wound in a little as it grabs too far up and when it does engage it engages high up too.

Sorry not being a farktard but that's what I mentioned in my post I know that it's either the master or the slave but don't know which one it is that's busted, is there a way of finding out which one is rooted other than replacing them, normally I've experienced is that if it's the master that it would leak fluid behind the firewall into the cabin but I haven't lost a speck of oil.

Now you see, normally I would have said if it was the slave I'd expect it to be wet on the outside. Master cylinders with stuffed piston seals can and will bypass internally without losing fluid outside the cylinder. It just goes back around the piston and get's pushed up into the reservior when the piston returns.

Internet diagnosis of clutch and brake hydraluc problems is only slightly less retarded than identifying suspension clunks over the internet. :P

Ahh k so pun for pun :-D, well I was just asking incase someone had the same problem or if there was a way to test it out and see which is causing it, as per what you're saying it looks like it's the master cylinder, now on the hunt for one.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.

      Well, the NA RB25 is nothing special in terms of the amount of power it makes stock, nor with any easy mods like extractors & exhaust, opening up the intake tract, etc, etc. And just like any small capacity NA engine, getting lots of power out of them takes a fair bit of money and, depending on how far you go with big cams and high compression and so on, quite grumpy to drive. So, boost is the answer. Many many many of them have had a turbo added. This is easy enough. Same as for any engine. Need the things you need to bolt on the turbo of choice, fuel system and management upgrades, clutch, stronger gearbox ( you do not want to run a boost RB25 through the NA box), diff, brakes, etc, etc, same as you would for most other NA+T things. Some much smaller number have had a supercharger added instead. These are good and cool, but have nowhere near the potential of the turbo route. All the same required upgrades apply. So, potential? Anywhere from not much to quite a lot, depending on how much effort and expense you want to go to. Is there value in the effort and expense? Objectively, no, there is not. If you're gaining enjoyment and don't mind blowing a lot of money on the project, then that's where the value is. Parts? Nissan dealers for some. Many many on-line vendors who do Japanese manufacturer spares (buy buying them from disposals at dealers around the world, direct from manufacturers, increasingly from Chinese knockoffs, etc) and warehousing them in Dubai or similar places. Amayama, Partsouk, etc etc. There are quite a few. Some local to Australia, some local to Europe, some local to the US. You can upgrade literally everything. For an NA, unless you're going to boost it, there's little point going past a nice exhaust, as I said above. After that (well, actually probably even before that) you should concentrate on making it handle the best it can, good brake components, light wheels and tyres, and just make it something to enjoy throwing through the curves. You'll never, ever win any drag races, so it needs to be taken as a nice point-to-point car. Throw in some Recaros or Brides, nice Momo wheel and gearknob, so it's pleasant to be in (because god knows, the inside of an R33 is not a pretty place!!) and away you go.
