hey guys, what size is the clutch line that goes from the master to the slave cylinder on your clutch. i emiminated the damper/hard line and intend on getting a steel braided replacement line but im not sure the size. And im not ordering one off the net cause that would take a week at least.

Can't help w/ that one. I ordered my replacement line before I started that project. I think it will have to be custom made... so that could be a problem for you.

i highly doubt thats the fact. Clutch and brake lines looked to be the same. If i find a retailer that sells steel braided brake lines, than i only have to buy one 52" inches in length and apply it. but before i do so i need measurements. come on people

Carefully bend the hardline up toward the slave cylinder and connect it to the clutch line between the dampner and the slave cylinder. Make sure you do not put kinks in the hardline as well.

You are correct. The line is 52 inches long.

It's standard steel clutch/brake line. When I went to my local parts store they knew exactly what I needed.

I recommend getting a line bender. It will make your life less hell.

yeh stores here in GP really dont carry anything steel braided for that use. and the ones that did, did not have the ends on it. so i just got some standard brake line with a bender. shouldnt take longer than an hour to run the line and install my new slave. thanks for all the help everyone.!

Not sure if you have an s13 or s14 but you can buy the line pre-bent from nissan from the master to slave for less then $20.......you can't beat the price!

yeh well i called nissan and they said they had one, and also..they said they had a slave clylinder and it would take 3-5 days to come in and it was $87. I called NAPA and they had one for $29 and it could be there the next morning...i would never ever give me business to facking nissan, they can literally lick my juicy bag. You can also buy the hard line not pre bent for $8 and bend away at your leisure.
