Hi,

My brake master cylinder is leaking slightly, and i was just wondering what my options are rather than buying an OEM master cylinder. Nissan quoted me about $420 ex Japan. Are there any aftermarket manufacturers of these that people are aware of? Also, is it possible to have the cylinder reconditioned?

Also, is it possible to upgrade the master cylinder instead of buying a direct replacement? I mean, can you get a larger diameter bore that will reduce braking effort or something?

Its a 1993 R32 gtst M spec.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Yeah, thats what ill probably do.

I was just wondering if there was an upgrade i could do at the same time, but i discovered that ive got a 1 inch bore master cylinder which is pretty good for a gtst.

BM-50 is the code on the side for interests sake. Its the latest model r32 gtst which must have recieved an upgrade because the others are 15/16" i think.

Shaun.

if you want a replacement i have one here from a halfcut low km though

Does it have BM-50 on the side and does it have two outlets?

How much do you want for it?

RHD Japan just emailed me; US$150 delivered for a new one. Thats pretty good considering Nissan Australia want about $420.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Does anyone have an answer to the question of whether there is an alternative to OEM that is better? I to suspect i have a leaking master so would like to know.

i wouldnt change it because youd lose the pedal feel by doing a change to a larger one....

Am I right in saying that if I increase the piston area by upgrading calipers then a larger diameter master might be required or preferable?

yes thats correct

matching componentry is a must

my v spec has a factory 1 1/16 brake master on it because it has brembos where as normal gtr is 1 inch i think

I got mine rebuilt for $100 in Victoria.

They charge another $100 to remove/fit back on.

If you can do the removal/fitting then it will only set you back $100~ to replace seals etc

Hi Rekin. where abouts in Melbourne did you get it done?

300zx is the same size and will fit, and gtr will also fit.

I run a gtr cylinder on my 32 brakes (which surprisingly are basically the same as z32)

yes as long as you have abs... for people who dont know you do need to clarify sometimes

Yeah, please advise where you got that done. Cheers.

Yeah, i think my master cylinder is the same as a GTR one because its got a 1 inch bore (the number 1 is stamped on the side of it). Most other R32's seem to have a 15/16" bore in them. Mine is a 1993 M-Spec and has ABS if it makes any difference. It also has BM-50 on the side of it.

Can anyone help me with a Nissan part number for it? I can get one delivered from Japan (RHD Japan) for US$150 which is pretty good, but they need a part number.

Also, that rebuild for $100 must only be the seal kit and labour required to replace the seals. Everyone ive spoken to says that if the master cylinder bore is pitted and needs to be rebored (and have a stainless sleeve installed), it costs at least $150 just for the rebore. The cheapest ive been quoted is $240 for everything. If anyone knows otherwise, let me know.

Shaun, I've checked RHD's web this morning and they are quoting $420AUD landed for a new master cylinder........Coincidental number huh? When did you get the $150US price?

Yeah, i just discovered that they quoted me on a CLUTCH master cylinder, dammit. Thought i was onto something there!

The part number for the 15/16 brake master cylinder is: 46010-02U20

and the 1 inch is: 46010-04U20; maybe that will help someone, but im just going to get mine rebuilt.

Shaun.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
