I know there's been threads on this but can't seem to find the right info. had the SR swapped for more than a Year ago. Car runs great. but one thing that's giving me a hard time is that CLUTCH. it's really hard to press. I broke the clutch pedal bracket before but soon will happen again. I bought the reinforced bracket from NISMO. looked like it needs to be modified cause it was made for right hand drive 240's. so I had a thought that I would need a new Cylinder slave. one thing I know is that aftermarket clutches may be stiff but not as hard as mine. one thing for sure I get a sore on my left leg. loll. so anyways. I need advice from someone that has went through this experience or what would be the possible problem.
thanks anything would be grateful

what kind of clutch do you have,I hope you removed the tranny from the motor before you dropped it in to see what type of clutch you have and to check the condition of it............. i had a custom clutch setup made by a friend and it broke my pedal 3 times, i was going to waste money on the Nismo bracket but i noticed the only difference was 4 extra welds on the Nismo so I told the dealer i didnt want it, so i took off my pedal setup,had a shop make many,many,many good welds on my stock one, it never broke again with the custom clutch, i also purchased a nismo slave and it didnt do shit on it because the pressure plate was just too aggressive,it was triple strapped, but not to say the Nismo slaves dont work, they do, its just that in this case it wouldnt make my pedal softer,in the end i had a OS GIKEN twin plate which was so nice to feel on my left foot, the nismo slave made it too soft when I had the OS GIKEN, so i had to put back a OEM Nissan slave to get a good feel on it.Just MY story on a hard pedal.

im going on the NISMO Slave. it turns out that it is a bigger piston for ease. also buy it before my hip breaks like the bracket does.

Guys. Just installed the nismo slave. Sorry for the late post. Yes it works. Just that they put a Racing clutch the old slave was getting faulty. But yes. Turns out that it's a few thousands of an inch more than the stock slave. Making it a difference.
