I would think so. The JDM transmissions and clutches are the same as ours. The clutch slave cylinder must have a longer and differently routed hard line that would mate up with the master.

I assume you have a JDM car. Look at the routing of the soft hose and compare it to a picture of a LHD FD's clutch master. Search a pic of one on the google.

The JDM master cylinder has mirrored fittings, but the reservoir is the same. You can go compare these pics to the master on your car.


Comparison 2000+ JDM left stock right


JDM master left side


JDM master right side

Yeah, it says clutch master.

The OP'er seems pretty excited about the pictures so maybe he confused brake and clutch masters?

Clarify?

the clutch master i pulled out of a lhd doesnt have a resivoir either.. :S.. seriously it looks exactly like the one i circled in the picture. and i know thats not the slave cylinder because thats on the tranny.. so maybe the pics of that are of a later generation?.. (duh it says the jdm pictures are from a 2000).. comon if you want ill take pictures of the one i took out of the lhd fd.. im 100 percent positive its the same.

No doubt bolt centres are the same, different part numbers suggest there's something unique to left and right.....and the plastic inlet, if the flange is rotated 45 degrees toward the centreline in a mirror image to the rhd, would put it at the bottom of the master cylinder, making it a challenge to bleed.

If the bloke one above hasn't worked it out after 2 years, only the bellhousing to slave hardline will match!
