i have done a brake conversion on my sil80 and after bleeding them up the pedal feel is still not right. it takes half a pump to bring the brakes on and after that they work but still don't feel right.

the system is a bitsa and i was thinking it may be part of the problem.

this is what i have:

r32 gtr brake booster

holfords bm57 non-abs

front:r32 gtr- dba4000 with qfm MX pads, rear: r33 gtst- rda slotted & dimple with ebc red pads.

HEL braided lines

reinforced brake bracket

i think it may be the pad combination but when i remove the vac line to the booster they are alot better so maybe the booster is too big?

so far i have done this a few times - bled with a vac bleeder and then the 2 person way and started from rear pas, rear driver, front pas & front driver and also bled the master cylinder.

Rob, I had a problem on my VL where I think the one way valve for the brake booster was missing or damaged and the brake pedal was soft all the way till full pressure but the brakes worked perfectly fine.

Bit different being NA vs Turbo but if its all been bled 100% and your setup is matched to each other then it could be somewhere worth looking.

Just a suggestion

I don't think its the combination of parts - I have a BM57 M/c (although I have ABS) R32GTR rear brakes and D2s at the front with a M/C stopper braided brake lines and Motul brake fluid and pedal is good first time. I think you need to look for a fault as suggested above.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
