Hi, was wondering if anyone has a clutch master cylinder for my 300zx fairlady 1990. I was quoted stupid amount and cant afford that, so wondered if anyone has bought one from ebay before ? they are varying from £28-£100 on there. Any advice please? thanks lisa

How much were you quoted? What's wrong with the one you have?

£293 plus vat...its apparently leaking externally, had no fluid in it, put some in and pump clutch few times and it works but it needs changing I guess. plus £120 labour charge...i'm poor,lol

Is your car a TT or NA? When was it made?

Tt import

Does it look like this one? Note the production date fitment info which relates to the hydraulic line outlet position

Yes its 1990, so would I need the line kit?

Think I had one fitted when it split before

No, it fits "Jap Spec upto August 1992". Without knowing your VIN you must check that it looks the same as the one you have fitted.

What split?

the clutch line pipe but had that fixed. I just bought one from ebay exact same as z centre for £28, if not right can return it, but thanks for advice and i'll update when it arrives :)

hope that does the job, not leaking much, never checked fluid and still drives just have to pump pedal a bit cos I guess air in it

I know the price appealed to you, but the quality in casting on that leaves much to be desired. You must hope the seals internally are of better quality, otherwise you'll be after a replacement in the near future :wacko:

Ye I know, I have a good mechanic mate that is going to fit it cheap, so all else fails i'll have to buy another, but for now its a cheap fix hopefully x

You might want to swap over the offset fluid reservoir (if it has one) on the old cylinder for the straight one on the new cylinder.

It will make for much easier access when you need to get to the cap.

Ok, will get my mechanic to sort it, thanks

It comes with a 2 year warranty.

You can buy four of them cheaper than Z Centre Nissan one.

Whats wrong with the casting?? Have you bought a batch of them and found them faulty??

If it works it works :)

 

Didn't see that 2 year warranty that's good for £30
