Guys,

The other night i was turning a corner near Brighton and the attesa decided it needed roughly 20% split (i was giving it quite a bit of gas - i was running late)

As soon as it dialled up 20% there ws a huge shaking through the whole car, it felt like the wheels werent screwed on and were wobbling. I pushed the brake pedal - it got worse straight away!!

After managing to stop the car on the side of the road i pulled the awd fuse out then drove for a few mins with NO problems (except for a lack of rear traction :) )

I thought - forget this, the fuse is going back in. Stopped again and put the fuse back in, then drove it all night without the shuddering returning.

Problem solved? Not quite.

30 mins ago i was in a different spot where the computer decided on 20% split, again it shuddered and i pulled the fuse.

So far ive never seen it go above 20% split - maybe this is the problem?

Whats wrong with it?

Has anyone got any ideas or had this problem?

Its a 1990 R32 GTR currently making 235rwkw in (what i thought anyway) healthy condition

Take all your wheels off and clean the ABS sensors behind your brakes. If this does not cure you problem - do a bleed of the attessa system. It is quick and easy and will only cost you a few bucks. If, by chance, the problem still exists, get your mechanic (or someone who knows these cars) to check out your attessa pump. More than likely these fail and cause a surging through the car at cruise speeds, not while cutting sik so this is a last resort to check as it is in a difficult to get to position above the diff centre. You might also wanna check your attessa reservoir in the boot and make sure it is topped up.

      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).
