I'm new to Nissans so flame on if you want to. I just want to know where is the master and slave cylinder located on my 95 240? Also how do i bleed the brakes? I think my clutch is going out but i want to see if its either one of those.

welcom to NICO.

the slave cylinder is against the firewall, on the drivers side. there is a master cylinder for the brakes (big one) and clutch (small one). the slave cylinder is on the pasanger side of the transmission, and has a line going to it.

to bleed the brakes: have 3 people, one to make sure the master cylinder stays full, one to pump and hold the brake pedal, and one to open and close the bleeder valve. to start, have somebody pump and hold the brake pedal. then open the driver side rear bleeder valve, fludi will squirt out (it helps to have a clear tube on it, i use fish aquarium air lines). close it, then the person can release the brakes, pump them again, and you can open the valve again. do brakes in this order: rear driver, rear pasanger, front pasanger, front driver, abs (if you have it).
