Leaking brake reservoir R32 GTR??

[Ronin 09]

My brake reservoir (on top of the brake booster) is leaking. It seems to be leaking from the black plastic cap ~ 8cm in diameter on top of the brake booster.

Has anyone had this problem, and would it be fixed by simply replacing the lid??

Thanks!

I got same problem..doesn't seem to seal properly. Haven't fixed it yet, probably a new lid will solve it.

Going down to nissan tomorrow morning, see if I can source an aus part that is the same... otherwise the part is ex-Japan, like $35... will keep you posted

Bugger - 2 weeks for part to come from Japan... will keep you posted.

Why dont you get a rebuild kit and rebuild the master while your at it..... All you would have to do is put a new set of buckets in it and give it a hone.

The brake master has a cylinder, when you push the brake it operates a mechanical cylinder that pushes the fluid to the lines (assisted by vacuum), im not a mechanic - so I dont exactly know how they operate. They are a small bore with a little piston that operates in them.

We did a nissan partol brake unit the other day, gave it a hone with a honeing bit on the drill and cleaned up the bore and put a new set of buckets in it. As I said im only an auto elec, so your probably better off asking a mechanic for a greater set of details.
