how do you connect to your ECU? Please share with us. Is there a scan tool that does that in NZ?
Most likely you need an extended slave rod. I had that same problem, so did other members. You can try and put a 1/4 ratchet extension with a 8mm socket at the end and see what happens. With the extended rod youll most likely have to undo the master cyl. bolt and put it somewhere in the middle.
