Ok.. so its been going for a while, but now its gotten ridiculous.

Top up the fluid... go to work, wake up next morning and its empty again. Need the car for work so thats all I can do.

I have no idea where its coming from, but all the paint (I guess) is peeling off the chassis rail. So its leaking down, from the master cylinder.

Has anyone had this problem, my mate has the exact same problem.. So I thought if 2 of us have had it, surely someone else out there would have too , found and corrected the problem.

Thanks!

Adam. :D

have you inspected the cylinder for damage? is the reservoir cracked? all lines tightened well and not split?

i doubt an internal leak as its running down onto the rail.

Cylinder looks fine.. i thought it might be the grommets but they seem fine too. Im suspecting a single hose that I cant seem to find. :D

yeah master cylinder leak for sure.

with the engine off, put your foot on the brake hard. once the normal pedal movement is taken up the pedal should stay firm....does it slowly drop to the floor instead?

hmm seems i have this problem also. leaking between the big black round bit and the master cylinder (for lack of a more technical description haha)

anyone know whether master cylinders are interchangeable between r33 and r34? (i have an r34 GTT)

p.s. sorry for the hijack :D

Pedal is fine when I top up the resevoir, never sinks down to the floor.

Went to see a mate who is a mechanic today, he also tells me the main seal between the brake booster and master cylinder.

Im hoping its not too much, spose to be going to Sydney in a few weeks. :down:

Next question, are the master cylinders the same as r32/s13?...

Thanks everyone! ^_^

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
