With our transmissions/engines, things will always be a little different for each car. In my situation, my slave cylinder went out due to the clutch, then with the new hd slave cylinder, i had some play in my clutch due to lack of clutch fluid. With this wilwood master cylinder, it helps force the fluid in, which makes my clutch work correctly. Like I said, its different for each car, but if you have your tranny out doing the clutch, I would research the zspeed slave cylinder for sure. Joe has a thread open in the HR engine section about his slave cylinder, lots of info there...
Not so much you didn't have enough fluid, Just the fact that the stock masters wear out, get all gunked up and cause the pedal drop issue, Yours was pretty nasty inside also after I took it further apart.
This is after I cleaned some of the crap out to find the fluid hole. Imagine what one looks like with average mileage and not the low miles your car has...
Anyone that replaces the slave with our HD slave or a new stock slave should really consider replacing the master at the same time.
Also, the stock master cylinder design sucks and is why we are testing our new Wilwood set-up on your car
This is deep inside your master cylinder that was causing you issues.

So you just replaced the oem clutch fluid reservoir with the wilwood setup? Did you change the line distributing the fluid or just kept it stock? Thanks bro. Btw, sorry to thread jack, but can you possibly pm me on your stance coil over setup? That's my next to do before the new engine. hehehe! :thumb up: Hint hint.

how many miles have you guys racked up on your nismo's when this happens?
i have ran into an issue where i had no preasure on my pedal after down shifting on the highway or at high speeds, even up shifting at high speeds, so then i took it to nissan and they adjusted the clutch linkage and it works fine now.... but is this the end or should i expect some possible problems in the near future? i only have 13,000 miles on mine so far. if you could pm me that would be awesome....
sweet niz brandon, good work
