Does anybody know if the RH clutch master fits on a LH? The part no. are different, I can't find -A01 in Japan (US part no.). In Japan it ends with -003. Thanks.

They are different AKAIK.
Have you enquire with Marc Perez, he is quite helpful?
Thanks for your reply. I've been able to find the -A01 version (LHD) in Japan even though Japan is RHD. I'm still waiting for a feedback on the sales guy.
We ran into a similar problem with the fuel filter which is said to be not deliverable in Europe anymore. But I saw that there was a substitute.
I bought one of these from Opie oils, they are one of our vendors and will give you a discount if you mention you are from NSXCB.

Hi, goldnsx.
Bit too late but glad you are sorted now.
As NSXGB recommended, Marc is based in Japan and helped many owners.
Quite often, you can find discontinued parts still available in Japan.
You can also find some of the LHD specific parts in Japan although not all of them.
Someone on Prime mentioned that Centric CL master cyl (LHD) is the same as the OEM one (LHD) but I have never bought one so can't confirm.
The fuel filter was on long back order in 2016.
I had to wait for nearly 1 year, from May/16 to Apr/17 for it.
Mahle KL746 is good. Checked the fuel pressure as well in my blog.
Never tried RHD CL master on the LHD model so I could be wrong but I guess you are going to have problem around the pushrod.
LHD CL pedal is closer to the wheel arch compared to the RHD one and still, you need to gain the same amount of pedal stroke.
The majority of piston cyl is outside of the cabin with the LHD master cyl whereas it's inside the cabin on the RHD one.
So, probably the RHD master cyl gets too close to the LHD CL pedal??? Don't know....

having bought a LHD clutch master cylinder from rock auto by mistake, and had it next to a RHD one that I took off my car, I can 100% say they are different and a LHD will not fit a RHD car, having tried to fit one and all
There may also be the possibility to use the RHD seal kit to refurbish your LHD one (assuming the bore is OK). They are available in JPN, most likely to be identical but obviously I've never tried...
Very cheap fix.

Thanks for the hint. I've thought about that but as the parts are not for my car the owner prefers a simple exchange procedure. But with the used parts which will be taken out I'll give them a try and see how the refurbishing kit works.
