Hey guys.

I've been in the process of getting myself a pressure bleeder and have hit a snag with the supplier.

They are taking their sweet ass time to see which cap will fit my brake reservoir even with the dimensions and pictures that I provided.

Does anyone here have one and know what cap will fit?

I have come across one thread that said euro caps will fit (however they are threaded type not 1/4 twist)

And then others say that ford will fit (they seem to be slightly larger than mine)

Can anyone offer advice because I'm getting sick of waiting. This is for a R33 GTR

I've got to say, I've got the same issue with the SP Tools kit....don't buy it!

I bought BRAKE & CLUTCH PRESSURE BLEEDING KIT #: SP70809, and the cap they said fits does not. They later confirmed based on measurements that we need BRAKE & CLUTCH PRESSURE BLEEDING CAP - ALL HYUNDAI, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN & SUBARU #: SP70821 for 32, 34, 34 GTR, GTSt, Stagea etc

The part has been on backorder for 8 months now so I also have a useless kit. And clearly SP Tools have no interest or intention of supporting their customers.

Thanks for that Duncan.

I tried to go with a Aussie supplier and it probably was that kit you mentioned, because old mate came back to me this morning and said that they are all out of stock.

So now I am going to bite the bullet and go with the American one.

Motive power bleeder 0117.

The adapter they list is for ford/import.

Import includes what you just said, Mitsubishi, Nissan & Subaru.

I have also found someone with a 370z that has used this exact kit which worked. And as I understand, 370z has the same brake reservoir lid as us.

Fingers crossed and we will see.

Also @duncan. Does your kit have a quick release? Because you can buy just the adapter #1117 I believe from motive products to at least make your kit useful....

An update.

I received my motive power bleeder #0117 ford/import

And it all hooks up and I pressurised the reservoir with success.

So for future people wanting a tool to help them out this would be the one that fits on brake master.

OK, I finally got the SP adapter today, only 6 months after they sold the base kit. If anyone else is silly enough to wait that long the correct one for R32 GTR (and probably most skylines/stageas etc) is SP70821.

But frankly, I wont go near SP again, the service and communication was terrible. I'd take that motive power one you posted above

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
