So apparently the brake booster in my R32 GTS-t has died. My mechanic informs me that they are 1000+ from Nissan. Furthermore 2nd hand units are generally dodgy because they are left in the elements. A brake specialist has also said he can have alook, but they generally can't be repaired and wont be able to quote me until he's had a look etc etc. Has anyone else had one of these things die? Is there any good solution?

Yeah I found a shop that was willing to inspect it and have a crack at repair/rebuild. Will update with details as it appears these things don't break often and information is a bit thin on them :D.

I do a lot of work with brake's and components, im on the Gold Coast if you want to shoot it down to me one night i can pull it down, inspect and then let you know if it can be repaired, but if you can wait a week and a half i can have it all done in a day if its repairable.

      Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
