Brake Master Cylinder Leaking...

Its been happening for quite a while now, was fine when driving the car... just topped it up and all was well. Can see it peeling the paint off the booster.

Since defect it sat for 3 weeks, (completely forgot about it) which gave it long enough time to completely empty itself. Now with air in the system, brakes are useless.. So cant drive it to get repaired...

So my question is, should I just take it off & get the seals redone? Or is there more to it then that. Or just buy a completely different unit? Anyone here that can vouch for a place to do it? Was going to just bleed the brakes and put new stuff through it, but seeing as its gonna do it again anyway.. might as well do it once, and do it properly. :)

I would take it off myself, never really looked at the thing so just wondering if its an easy task...

Thanks.. much appreciated. :)

Adam..

both, i could be wrong and R34's for some reason are stupidly expensive, but to give u an idea i paid under $100 for mine in the 32.

i deal with all clutch and brake down here in SA, maybe try them and see if they can send u something.

i just rang nissan here in brisbane they want $460 for a R32 new brake master cylinder and around $190 for a rebuild kit

i'm a bit weary of the rebuild kit though, i really can't be f**ked pulling it apart once to see if it has scoring along the barrel then trying to put it back together so i can drive my car in the 10 days i need to wait for either one depending on the condition of the barrel to come from Japan

Still have the baggie, it was sitting in my rubbish for when I clear away that area..

protex 210J0159 is what is on the label.. Make sure it is the 1" master, and I can't remember if it was the nabuko or tokiko, think it was nabuko..

Remove the master cylinder, pull it apart, follow the workshop manual, easy as.. make sure everything is sparkling clean, you don't want any little bit of dirt getting in there. after you remove the piston assembly you can shine a torch in there and you will be able to see if there has been any corrosion, contamination, scoring, etc. In my case it was just old seals that lost tension.

Brakes are better than they have ever been. Transfer case clutchpack decided to die shortly after as well, never ends.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
