Yesterday i replaced my master cylinder because i was having a problem with my clutch not dissengaging properly. I just got a new heavy duty clutch put in aswell. I replaced the master cylinder - but how do i bleed it correctly? at the moment the clutch pedal has no tension on it, you put the pedal down and it stays down. What i have been doing is filling up brake fluid in the master cylinder, opening the slave a bit, pumping it a few times so the liquid squirts out then closing it back up again.....still no luck. What am i doing wrong? Would appreciate some help.

Cheers!

Ok, i've found out how to do it. For anyone that would like to bleed their clutch, this is the process to follow.

Requires two people.

1) Fill up master cylinder.

2)replace cap on MC

3)get someone to push down clutch pedal and hold it down.

4) on MC, open bleeder valve to let out air/fluid.

5) tighten bleeder valve up again

6) Lift up clutch pedal.

Repeat process until no air. Do the same on the slave cylinder located on the gearbox.

If its the same as doing the brakes you can just put a clear tube from the bleed nipple to a clear bottle with brake/clutch fluid in it and pump the pedal till no air bubbles come out in the bottle anymore.. Can anyone confirm if that process will work the same as it does on the brakes?

    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
