I have the usual leak from the back, dripping down the booster. RHDjapan want $485, which is probably about what Nissan Aust will want. I tried ABS at Kirrawee and they couldnt find any reference in their PBR etc catalogues.

I'd prefer not to do get a rebuild kit - some say the alloy body can need to be sleeved with stainless blah blah blah.. I just want something that will work first go. Nissan Aust want $198 for the rebuild kit.

So has anyone got a specific PBR or whatever part number?

I used a kit from ABS to rebuild mine a while back, real easy to do. Probably wouldn't be able to find the part number for you though, sorry.. If you pull it apart on the bench you will be able to check the bore and see wether it is a worthwhile proposition.

I found another post that mentioned 'protex 210J0159' as the rebuild kit, so i've sent a message to ABS to see if that means anything to them. I just dont wont to open it up to find the bore is no good then not be able to drive at all....but given no other options i guess i can be convinced to give it a go.

I had my r32 brake master cylinder rebuilt. After 1-2yrs it started to leak. So opted for a brand new replacement.

I sourced mine from Brakewest.

Give them a call to see if they have one for a GTR.

My advice, dont risk with rebuild. Bite the bullet and buy a brand new one as it cost me more in the long run :(

    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
