Hey guys,

Was looking through the threads and only turned up this

http://www.skylinesa...-brake-booster/

Which didnt really answer my question, which was will a BM44 Master cylinder out of a R34 Gtst work in my R32 Gtst with standard 32 brakes and discs all corners as I need to replace my current one and a cheap BM44 has become avaiable.

If the brakes have to be upgraded to 34 items this is viable but not really good for finances at the moment so am trying to avoid this for the time been.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks all.

If it's an abs one and you have an abs one it'll be identical.

If it's non abs then the ports are in different spots. It'll work fine but you will need to bend lines and probably extend the line for the rear circuit to reach the port

Legend!! Mine is non-ABS so will modify to suit, thanks heaps.

You should also be aware of the fact that BMC off a turbo R34 is not a BM44. Turbo non-GTR 34 skylines came with 1" BMC, marked either BM50 or just '1' on the BMC body. If yours is BM44, it is probably n/a  R34 BMC, or an R33 item. It may still work, however brake balance front to rear may be slightly different to yours.

Yeah i actually investigated this further and found the pressures will different so will need a R32 ABS BM44 unit so back to the wreckers. T

hanks for the advice it is appreciated.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
