Need Help Regarding Bnr32 N1

[VSPEC32]

Is there anyone in J at the moment who has access in some way to a genuine BNR32 N1, V-SPEC N1 or V-SPEC II N1. I'm desperately tyring to confirm how many ports were on the master cylinder fitted to this car as it didn't come with ABS so I assume it's a 3 port jobby.

If you're able to take close up photos of any markings, and if it's a 3port and Nissan part number would be a bonus.

Reason for asking here is it's likely there'd be more on the ground over there.

Cheers

Brendan

OK, I managed to track some pics down off of Yahoo Japan of a BNR32 N1 brake master cylinder (BM50). Someone else did a screen grab from the Nissan FAST application of brake master cylinders with numbers starting with #46010. Just need someone here to do a translation on the last column of the marked lines from the screen grab:

These photos relate to #46010-05U01 for RB26DETT.GT-R.17 N1 (which I think relates to the V-spec N1) which is number 5 on my list below.

Even if someone can focus on lines 5 & 6 it would be appreciated:

line 5 in the 'specifications' column says: 'Tokiko 1 benbutsu kakunin N1 shou'

line 6 in the 'specifications' column says: 'Nabuko 1 genbutsu kakunin N1 shou'

I think its referring to two different parts makers for the Nissan N1 part, being Tokiko and Nabuko.

you should notice the one in the picture you attached earlier has the Tokiko mark on it.

genbutsu means 'original'

not sure what benbutsu means yet

butsu (also read 'mono') means 'thing' in English....

gen translates as 'origin'　（as itself it means 'field' though)

so genbutsu literally translated is 'origin thing' = 'original'

I'm still trying to find what the 'ben' in benbutsu means though.

thats the trouble with it being in katakana, because you cant just look up the kanji

I have a feeling that the 'shou' at the end of both lines just means 'type' or 'variant', so 'N1 shou' means 'N1 type'.

This is off the top of my head though and I couldn't be bothered checking my kanji dictionary because 'shou' is one of the most common characters and has about a gazillion different meanings.

Has anyone else got anything else to add?? Feel free to add stuff, discuss, or ask questions.

I hope this helps a little bit at least, VSpec32.

Thanks dude, we've gone ahead and ordered the part through Nissan now, so should be here this week. Will be sure to post up pics.

Cheers

I've asked around about the 'benbutsu' aswell, my father-in-law reckons it's a typo... have you seen 'benbutsu' anywhere else on Nissan fast? Whatever the case, they're just saying 'genbutsu kakunin n1 shou' means '(visually) check that the part is an N1'. Can't help much more than that sorry.

Edit: too late... lol

cheers for confirming that Rezz....

I was racking my brain and asking Japaneses mates... but came up with nothing for benbutsu....

maybe its a special Nissan word!! keke!

OK, didn't want to repeat myself about all the details so here's a link to a post on my blog about the Brake Master Cylinder information:
