Lucky boy. Wait until daylight and check your entire braking system out. From the master to the ABS unit, to the wheel slaves.

You'll find it.

R32 GTRs have been known to blow the stock brake hoses off at the track, usually the master brake cylinder seal is the culprit, or the rubber seal on one of your calipers pistons has blown

first car i ever drove lost all brake fluid

useless apprentice that worked on the car forgot to tighten up the bleed valve

I'd be checking under the carpet, under the pedals. It's most likely that the master cylinder has been leaking out the rear seal into the cabin.

I'd also be checking the handbrake warning light in the instrument cluster - it should come on when the brake fluid gets low, and before you run out of fluid!

it didnt

Should find it easy having lost that much fluid.

Just so I don't forget, cos I will, If you need a seal rebuild kit for the 1" master cylinder, give ABS a ring, less than $40 delivered.

abs unit was leaking

[heller44]

Not that long ago there was someone on here that rebuilt their abs unit with all new orings.. might be worth having a look around, as an option.

[bozodos]

think the thread is in the DIY section, and I also think that they just went and sized all the seals and bought ones to fit.

abs unit was leaking

That's a slow leak. The handbrake light (low brake fluid warning) should have come on well before you ran out of fluid. Check the globe in the instrument panel (does it work when the handbrake is on?)

I went past an ABS but they didnt have a seal kit listed for the 32 - what do you ask for specifically or do you have a part/kit number?

[Moodles2]

I know from experience with my R32 GTR my handbrake light came on intermittently when it the brake cylinder is halfway between max and min (abit closer to min)

Unfortunately I can't find the paperwork for it. I remember asking for the seal kit for a 1" - BM50, they only had one kit listed. I couldn't remember wether I had a tokiko or nabuko branded cylinder, they only had one type, luckily it was the same as mine. Nabuko from memory..
