I use a RB30 / R33 RB25 pump, needs a spacer on the Rb30 bracket to clear the timing case. Uses 3 not 4 rib v-belt. Sits ever so slightly off centre.

However R32 Non Hicas pumps exist, never seen one in the flesh however.

pull the 4 bolts holding the rear cover on, remove all the vanes from the rear pump and reassemble. Plug hicas inlet to pump.

Done this to more than a dozen cars with no side effects.

mine was just routed straight back into the pump. so by passes all the hicas lines that aren't there anymore.

Mine was done like this, it created far too much pressure for the pump though and blew out the seals. Hard to see I know, but this is how it was done:

The hicas part and the normal steering part are linked via a fabricated joiner. The steering was fantastic, but far too much pressure for the pump as I said.

I have the pump apart and the veins out. I PMed URAS and asked what he meant about plugging the hicas but he is not on anymore. Does anyone know what he means? Because I want to get it back together and on the car.

Once you have removed the veins from the rear assembly just put it back together and plug the rear outlet with a brass nut. That's what I have done on my own, I also removed all the hicas actuators and lines but so there were no free lines.

But I think what he means is just bolt back on the orginal hicas line that was there, which I believe is the rear HICAS outlet as the rear part of the pump will no longer function anyway. Or just remove the lines altogether like I did and plug it.

Yeah, I was thinking just before that he must have meant the hicas OUTLET not the inlet.

Its all good now anyway, I am getting a non-hicas pump for it.

47une mine was the same as yours is and my pump blew as well. I took the veins out of the back of the pump and put it back together as it was and now hasnt been a problem since as it does not create any pressure.

let us know how you go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
