Abs Master Cylinder And Non Abs Master

Hi all,

I can't seem to find the answer to whether an abs master cylinder will fit the non abs cars and vice-versa on the r33's. If anyone can tell me that would be awesome as my master cylinder (brake) has gone and I'm not sure what my options are but I have a abs master cylinder in the garage although my car doesn't have abs....

The other wierd thing is although it has leaked all the fluid out down the booster and none in the resevoir (which I had just bled and replaced I guess i stuffed the seal) my clutch pedal has gone to the ground can't select gears obviously but there seems to be fluid in the clutch master just nothing in the brake master (I know it's not relevant to this forum) but is there a connection between these two or is it just bad luck...

Also where abouts in Sydney can I recondition my master cylinder (both brake and clutch) if the abs brake master doesn't fit my non abs car.

Thanks all

yep, you've managed to get air in the clutch master so you will need to crack the nipple or just loosen the line and press the pedal to the floor to get enough fluid into it to do a proper bleed of the system.

If you want to use the abs brake master you will need a tee and have to hook up the 2 front brake lines to the 1 port in the master. You're better off finding a new non abs master or just getting yours re kitted.

yep as above different number of ports of the ABS/non-abs brake masters. best of getting the right one for your car. oh and most workshops will be able to either rebuild it on-site or they will have a place they send masters and slaves to where they bore and sleeve them and put in a new piston and seal.

just for anyones reference I had to drop the box today as nothing was leaking and acutually the brake master had fluid but I just didn't see due to darkness.

The problem was the clutch pivot ball had snapped. Got a new ball genuine nissan for $29 delivered via just jap and the damn mechanic charged me $350 to drop the box and fit it up.

This part better not snap!!!

hmm, probably should have spent another $20 and got a nismo one, or UAS make their own upgraded ones too. either option is around $50. probably a bit late to tell you that now that you've spent the $350 on labour though... :D (labour cost is about right though, certainly not outrageous).

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
