this took 10 mins including lifting the car and dropping it. I had installed a nismo Clutch slave cylinder when I installed a new nismo twin clutch however I found out from a good source that it would be better to stay with the factory operating cylinder. anyways, the bleeding took only 2 tries since I didn't have to replace the nismo clutch line. As usual don't start work until it's cooled down, though I did it after 20 mins of driving and no warm spots or hot oil.
The only tools you will need is a Jack, 2 jackstands for safety, 14mm combo wrench, 12 mm combo wrench and 8mm combo wrench.
Here's a pic of what it looks like for those that do not know. I removed the line before the unit so I could easily remove the line and not have to hold the unit as it was bolted tightly. It should only drip an ounce or so which you'll need a pan or something (forgot the pan in the pic!).
As a good reminder, always check what comes out for damage or unusual wear, and make sure it's the new part going in is the proper one. The only difference between the nismo unit and the OEM unit is the size. Nismo was 13/16th and OEM was 3/4. Word is the nismo unit is designed for Metal clutchs, so I didnt' not need it as mine was organic/copper.
It goes back in the same way. After wards you can pump the clutch to get the fluid moving, and get someone to hold it in while you bleed at the unit. Also you should bleed at the splitter afterwards if needed. Should take long since you won't lose much fluid. I used Penzoil DOT3 brake fluid.
