Default Hydraulic Clutch Questions

Right then, I've read on here about how people strongly recommend a hydraulic clutch as the way to go, especially for the Type-R clutch.

My understanding of a hydraulic clutch is that when you depress the clutch pedal, a pushrod attached to the clutch pedal goes into the master cylinder which forces liquid down the pipe and pushes somethign out of the slave cylinder. Hope this is right.

So firstly, is there a system (master, slave, pipes) that people can simply recommend that I buy? Quick scan of ebay suggest not, although I do see plenty of type-r clutch slave cylinders.

Or will the slave cylinder already come attached to the Type-R gearbox, and therefore at his stage I should just be putting in the master and pipes?

Going back to ebay, there are plenty of individual cylinders. Most of them seem to be for motorbikes rather than cars, and brakes rather than clutch?
I'm guessing that motorbikes cylinders are not large enough?
Or are clutch cylinders smaller than brake, and therefore I could use a motorbike brake cylinder as a car clutch cylinder?

Thanks in advance.
