James,

The best advice anyone will give you is
to purchase new slave cylinders from one
of the vendors the first time and forget
about rebuild kits unless you plan to
have the old aluminum cylinders relined
with stainless steel or brass as part of
your rebuild.  The same goes for the
master cylinders, which I think are
still available from Nissan.

The aluminum bodies of these cylinders
are very touchy about reconditioning,
and the effort will fail many more times
than it will succeed.  I learned this
the expensive way when I purchased
rebuild kits, experienced complete
failure, and ended up purchasing two new
master cylinders and new slave cylinders
for the rear brakes and clutch.
