Clutch Hydraulic System...

What is the purpose of that T in it for the bleeder line? It seems useless to me, unless its also some sort of clutch damper? My Z31 had a master, clutch damper, and slave, I removed the damper so it basically runs right from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder and it functions fine.

Basically, the ***** isnt bleeding out, and I'm debating on removing this "connector"...

The upper bleeder on the left strut tower, you mean?

Yea, the stock clutch line can be a PITA to bleed, and isn't the best design, IMO. Just replace it with a SS master-slave line from the GD section and be done with it.

So I can ditch that "bleeder line" and have only the bleeder @ the slave?

With the full SS (or other replacement) line, yes. With the stock line, there are so many places for air pockets to form that I'd leave the upper bleeder in place.

Then yes, you can do that. Though if it's the original rubber line, I would replace that too, consider it preventative maintenance.

Yeah, by original I meant the stock rubber lines, but they arent that old.
