2 Differant Master Brake Cylinders? R32gtr!

[PHATR32]

Hi everyone,

my master brake cylinder sprung a leak, so i ordered a rebuild kit from nissan. I gave them my vin number etc to ensure they got the right one.

anyways, the parts arived today, and as soon as i pulled my cylinder apart, i noticed they were comletly differant!!!!!!

a quick search in the shop manual showed me that the r32 gtr cylinders had 2 differant manuafterers, tokiko and nabuco(nabco).

according to nissan and also fast, my gtr was supposed to have the nabuco(nabco), cylinder, but when i looked at my one its the tokiko cylinder!

does anyone know if the two are interchangable? the look to be the sane diameter, and the master cylinders look the same, but the secondary cylinders are differant i.e the o ring more forward on one.

can anyone offer some adivce??

thanks

hey steve from your first pic it seems that the Tokiko is meant for ABS cars, the Nabuco one is for non-ABS?

I have no idea lol

yeah well another page in the shop manual says that the abs one is made by nabuko.

f**k me, i was looking at the r33 shop manual and found out exactly what is what.

so i guess i just have to find a brake cyl for a abs r32 gtr, it looks like the stooge that owned my car replaced the master brake cylinder with a non abs unit, which i assume caused it to leak.

come on guys, does anyone know what the deal is with the tokiko master cylinders?

i though my one was fitted on buy one of the previous owners, but reading another post i saw another r32 gtr with the same cylinder.

problem is nissan gave me a part number from a differant model cylinder (after looking up my VIN)

any help would be good!
