Z32 Brake Booster On Bnr32 With Slow Brakes

Where I live bnr32 parts are not too easy to come by. My brake booster recently broke and I need a replacement. Does anyone know if a z32 brake booster is an equivalent replacement to the bnr32 brake booster?

Reason why I think the problem is the brake booster . The pedal feel is hard, also I have to press the pedal to the floor with all my might just to get it to slow down. There are no signs of leaking from the master cylinder but I do hear my right brake caliper making lots of noise when I press the brake pedal. I have stock r32 gtr brakes. Anyone know what could possibly be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Take the wheel off and check there first.

Give it a a good visual of the caliper, pads and dust/stone gaurd.

Brake Pads ????

I think if it was the booster your brake pedal would go to the floor without much pressure applied.

That's wrong. No booster = hard pedal.

Definitely check the actual caliper function first. But if you need a new booster, you can get your existing one rebuilt at one of the major brake repair shops (I don't mean Midas, etc. I mean places like Adelaide Brake Service, or their equivalent closest to you).

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
