Hey guys.

I've been in the process of getting myself a pressure bleeder and have hit a snag with the supplier.

They are taking their sweet ass time to see which cap will fit my brake reservoir even with the dimensions and pictures that I provided.

Does anyone here have one and know what cap will fit?

I have come across one thread that said euro caps will fit (however they are threaded type not 1/4 twist)

And then others say that ford will fit (they seem to be slightly larger than mine)

Can anyone offer advice because I'm getting sick of waiting. This is for a R33 GTR

I've got to say, I've got the same issue with the SP Tools kit....don't buy it!

I bought BRAKE & CLUTCH PRESSURE BLEEDING KIT #: SP70809, and the cap they said fits does not. They later confirmed based on measurements that we need BRAKE & CLUTCH PRESSURE BLEEDING CAP - ALL HYUNDAI, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN & SUBARU #: SP70821 for 32, 34, 34 GTR, GTSt, Stagea etc

The part has been on backorder for 8 months now so I also have a useless kit. And clearly SP Tools have no interest or intention of supporting their customers.

Thanks for that Duncan.

I tried to go with a Aussie supplier and it probably was that kit you mentioned, because old mate came back to me this morning and said that they are all out of stock.

So now I am going to bite the bullet and go with the American one.

Motive power bleeder 0117.

The adapter they list is for ford/import.

Import includes what you just said, Mitsubishi, Nissan & Subaru.

I have also found someone with a 370z that has used this exact kit which worked. And as I understand, 370z has the same brake reservoir lid as us.

Fingers crossed and we will see.

Also @duncan. Does your kit have a quick release? Because you can buy just the adapter #1117 I believe from motive products to at least make your kit useful....

OK, I finally got the SP adapter today, only 6 months after they sold the base kit. If anyone else is silly enough to wait that long the correct one for R32 GTR (and probably most skylines/stageas etc) is SP70821.

But frankly, I wont go near SP again, the service and communication was terrible. I'd take that motive power one you posted above

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
