Well finally got my braided clutch line in for VE GTS. While the new line has not totally fixed the issue it is about 70% better than it was. Or in other words the clutch pedal now only losses about 2 cm worth of pressure not the 7 or 8 cm's it previously losses.
So i guess the complete fix is a new after market clutch or the LS7 clutch.

Are you loosing pressure after giving it a good flogging? Or just regular driving? I have this in my VE ss it's usually just after a good hammering

Yep thats the one. Sprinted driving causing the issue when you are running after market extrators. Stock units don't produce the same heat.

so are you boiling the fluid? Have you tried silicon fluid or higher boiling point to help?

Where did you get your braided clutch line from mate and how much?

will still do it with stock exhaust, and spirited driving, the main culprit in all this is the concentric slave cylinder

Brought it off my tuner who brought from an outfit in Sydney (I'm in NZ). If you take a standard clutch line to a brake or hydrolic specialist they should be able to make you on.
