I presently have a poverty pack R32 GT-R with the Sumitomo callipers etc. As part of a brake upgrade I wanted to change the master cylinder to make use of the larger bore as seen on the Brembo equipped R32's & the 33's etc. The question I have is what is the easiest way of doing this. Now I would think that a master cylinder from a Brembo equipped GT-R would be a straight bolt up but I suspect that it will be next to impossible to find one.

Question is: does the master cylinder from the R33 GT-R fit the R32 GT-R?

Here is a photo of my 32.

I can't wait to hear the answer to this I have the same question. I have done some research and can tell you the 32 GTR Vspec brake master costs about $360 brand new. The 34 GTR master costs a measly $280. (both prices approx off the top of my head).

The only differences I can see in them is the shap of the fluid resevoir but I'm not sure if they come with our without the resevoir.

I say buy a 34 GTR master, then tell me if it fits. ;):D

Sounds like I should just go and buy a new one. Re-sleaving a second hand one will make it way more expensive.

You don't have a part # by chance?

I just orderied myself some rear calliper, um, ies. So the bank account is back to its usual parlous state. Not sure I am in the position to take one for the team just at the moment.

I will put it on the list with the other 428 bits of crap that I need from Nissan that may or may not fit.

Should do. Don't the CP5555's have a smaller piston area than the BRembos used on the GT-R's?

yep - cp5555s have slightly smaller piston area than the Sumitomos, the Brembo rears have slightly larger piston area than the Sumitomos...

worked out ok... and even bias is ok - not locking rears or anything - even with the 322 rear rotor.

sweet

I hope so. anyway I think I'll try the 34 GTR one. it has the ports in the same place etc so it should be ok. the only problem I can forsee is the fluid level sensor and perhaps fitting the resevoir to it (that's if it doesn't come with one).

i think the Z32 cylinder has a larger bore and is a direct fit...can confirm this with John Pelican at Unique.

i have one in stock for $130 plus freight if anyone is interested

Arn't the z32 bias levels up the creek for a GT-R?

  • 6 months later...
Thread back from the dead - did it ever get resolved if a R33/34 GT-R reservoir fits?

Alternatively is there a local commonly available option that will work (eg Patrol etc)

Closest I found was this. It is from an R34 so they do fit, but it was done in Japan & the bloke concerned obviously couldn't say how much messing around it required.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
