Hey Everyone,
First thing is first... I have searched and searched (like many of you may have) for a decent slave cylinder replacement for the RB25DET push-type clutch slave cylinder. There has been many trial and errors like the Honda Accord slave cylidner that Touge Racing and McKinney puts out with the holes drilled out. I have gone through two. One time the seals went and the other time the bolt holes snapped. So who wants a Honda part for a Nissan. Not me.
This is the forum of the old for the Honda slave cylinder...

rb25det-clutch-slave-cylinder-for-16-t270726.html

Centric part# 13844106
NAPA (United) part # 37487
LUK part # LSC213
O'Reilly part# 37487

My new find with all this trial and error is that the vq35 slave cylinder out of the 05 Maxima and 350z will fit the pattern and is bolt on. No drilling is required but you will find that it is a bit more round on the back and the stock bolts aren't long enough to fit. That is no problem easy fix. Extended bolts and spacers. I just did this and works beautifully.

2 M10-1.50 x 40mm Bolts (17mm hex head) Lowe's Item Number 138219
2 bags of 10mm Flat washers Lowe's Item Number 138377
2 10mm lock washers Lowe's Item Number 138380

Take your old one off.
Put in the new bolts 1 lock washer on each head and then 5 flat washers behind each and reassemble. This will push it all out and line up the way it should. Works great and for $33.48 you can have it that same day. Hope this helps everyone instead of drilling everything and paying an arm and a leg.
Goodluck, :dblthumb:

I'm going to confirm this for anyone else searching through the boards that the 2005 maxima DOES work. all you need are spacers/washers and longer bolts like OP said. Threads right into the stock 240 clutch line. Great find David.

I appreciate it. Sorry I havent got back with those pictures joseph. I was driving my 25 the other day for 2 days after my electrical rebuild and new clutch and it wa running beautifully. Then suddenly after two days of driving. it just shut off at a red light in middle of perfect idle. Crunk up twice and spuddered just like a coupler came off. will turn over now but wont start... all sensors and signals are fine on power fc.... its got me boggled.... hoffman.... is that you? steven.... if so hows that sr swap coming along
