Are you sure the GTR pedal box is different?

Bl4ck32 picked one up and said it was the same?!?!

They are the same, however the GTR one has the studs reversed. Mine came with no studs, but it has the reversed holes in the bracket already there for the GTST. I think Nissan made the bracket for both cars, but reversed the studs on the GTR for some reason.....

I replaced the slave cylinder yesterday and the old slave was indeed leaking.

Unfortunately when I hold my foot on the clutch it still slowly bleeds off causing the clutch to engage. :P

I've tried re-bleeding the master cyl, little box and the slave cyl.

The master cylinder is roughly 2 years old and done around 60,000km's with an 800kg clutch.

There doesn't appear to be any air in the system, there also appears to be no fluid loss. When the clutch bleeds off upon letting go of the clutch the pedal doesn't come all the way up but half roughly, i then need to pull it up with my foot.

Its fine as long as I don't sit with my foot on the clutch.

I had a look at the pedal box as good as I could without pulling it out and can't see any breakages.

Does it sound like a pedal box. Damn.

Just spoke to my old man, he said it sounds like the brake fluid is squeezing past the cup or something. :P

I know what he is describing. Very possible. It has done a lot of changes, especially as the car is a daily driver for Uni obviously changing gears a lot + its ran a 800kg clutch for 60,000km's or so.

I'll rip the pedal box and master cyl out at once I think, weld up the box and buy another master cyl.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
