Still no leak,

After it had sat around for a while that was when I noticed it leaked previously, so I recon it's fixed.

There are still orings on the inside of the unit that will be deformed and no longer sealing properly, reducing the effectiveness of the abs unit.

so its more worthwhile to use the r33/r34 abs unit for longevity?

The rebuilt ABS unit is back in and (partially) bled. Took it for a spin around the block and will check for leaks tomorrow.

To bleed it properly the ABS unit needs to be operated while it's being bled with pressure. When you start the car it runs the ABS motor, but I'm not sure if its actuating the solenoids.I have a feeling these were pre-bled at the factory then installed.

Next step is to monitor the ABS with an oscilloscope so I can make a bleeding tool. Then I can bench test whole unit :)

Would you happen to be in Melb? I lost motivation but another person into electronics and cars would get me back on this project again. Got all the test tools here :)

I'm in Sydney. I have an oscilloscope now so I can monitor the solenoids when the ecu is activating them.

Ideally I would like to reprogram the ecu. The original one is designed for a new standard car, not what everyone has now.

If you don't mind, let me know your thoughts on how you plan on testing them.

Can i get an update on this? I would like to know all the materials used in this. My ABS pump is leaking around the motor and i want to rebuild the 0-rings within the unit. I have an o-ring that has about 30 different sized o-rings.

So I have rebuilt my abs pump using just some O-rings I had. It's been about a month with no leaks. I did make a video breaking down the pump.

I'm also interested in swapping in a R34 abs pump. Looks simple as the plugs are almost the same. Looks like a simple repin job.

I need the wiring diagram for the R34 abs pump. I have access to dozens of pumps and want to give this a try. An abs delete is always an option too.

R34 has 6 solenoids, R32 has 3. You need to run extra wires.

Weird. I've heard of 3 and 4 solenoid units, the difference being whether the rear wheels use a single circuit for both wheels or one for each. Any idea what the 6 are for?

ok, a search has brought me nothing yet again.

How does the r34 ABS have 6? i really could use a wiring diagram.

Which is better to swap? R34 or R33? i have access to a R33 GTR ABS pump and all R34 ABS pumps are the same from what i have seen.

Im sure there are only a handful of people that have attempted this.

Hi folks, new R32 GTR owner here, and sorry to revive an old thread.

The ABS actuator has been leaking since I got my 1990 GTR back in May this year. I would like to know if you fine folks can please share information regarding the size of O-rings, so I can gather them before I take mine to a shop for rebuild. Also, there was a mention of a video on tearing down the actuator. Is that video available?

Thank you all in advance, Squirrel.

I would have thought that a brake specialist workshop accustomed to working on ABS actuators would not only have a bunch of suitable O-rings on hand to suit any and all makes but not require their customers to source them beforehand.

Hint...I'm suggesting taking it to a brake specialist - a proper one, not one of those bloody chain store type ones you have in the US - to get it serviced. Given that you're going to take it to "a shop" for the work anyway.

    • 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       
    • 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).
