R32 Gtr Brake Master Cylinder

[R32 Zilla]

Has anyone had to change their brake master cylinder in their 32 gtr ?

Mine is leaking and in need of replacement but iam having trouble finding a new one. Would anyone know where i could get one ?

Thanks

Nissan, a bit under $400.

yeah i thought it would be about that much through nissan but i wonder if you can get one any cheaper through someone else ?

thanks

Have you tried people like ABS, or Nissan for that matter, for a kit (replacement seals, etc)?

Most good brake shops will be able to recondition the master cylinder for you - you will have to do without it for a few days. Approx $200 is the asking price.

Just a word of warning - insist they get the seals etc in their store BEFORE you give them anything & check they have done a GT-R one before. I got caught like that by two different shops & had to swap units between my cars.

Just made a few calls.....

ABS said they have no listing for new master cylinders or kits but they could recondition the one I have using parts and seals from other kits. This would cost about $300 to $350 but he hasnt done a GTR before and cannot guarantee it can be done.

Nissan said $620!! for a new master cylinder and

$174 for a kit.

I think i might be best to get the correct kit from nissan and get a good brake shop to recondition it. But iam not sure ??

If Nissan have a kit, then use that. The guys at ABS should be able to work with it.

Do you have a part number for the KIT?

It would save my life if someone can post it. The local NISSAN dealer will get it if I have that magic number.

The R33 GTR master cylinder is the same as used on the Nissan Patrol.

[cobra_mark]

So is an R33 Master Cylinder the same as the R32?

Anyone got the Nissan FAST part numbers for the either or both Cylinders and or a recon-kit?

Hmm, I am having problems with my Master Cylinder too at the moment. Feels like theres air in the system and the pedal is really squishy before I start the car.

I am pretty sure mine is just the seals and may just need a kit, and I can guarantee its gunna be more than $174 from Nissan in Perth

32 and 33 GTR are apparently different I've never had the two side by side though.

Master cylinder v air in the lines.

Air in the lines - when you put your foot on the pedal it is really mushy, but if you pump it a time or two it comes up nice and hard

Master cylinder leaking - when you put your foot on the brake and hold it, your foot sinks slowly to the floor.

mine is like that, but it takes a damn while to come good. I mean like 45+ seconds before its normal and then throughout a drive its good

I should have said, air in the lines is very easy to fix, you just need to bleed the brakes. There should be a thread on here about how to do it.

If it hasnt been done for a while run a whole bottle through first make sure its clean and bubble free.
