Nissan Skyline GT-R Brake Master Cylinders and Rebuild Kits

BM57 brake master cylinder. 1 1/16th inch bore. Rear line which goes to front calipers is split with block.

There are several brake master cylinders that were used on the R32 versions of the Nissan Skyline GT-R.  The R33 and R34 GT-R all had a BM57 brake master cylinder.

When you press on the brake pedal, which is a type of lever, the other end actuates a rod that moves the piston in the master cylinder.  The R32 GT-R came with both BM44 (15/16th piston) and BM50 (1 inch piston), not sure exactly how those broke out.  However translating from Japanese, it seems like the three port BM44 was used on the Nismo, and possibly the N1, along with the GTS-t R32.  All the other R32 GT-R got the BM50 master cylinder at 1 inch.

The larger the diameter of the piston, the more fluid it moves. When you swap out to larger calipers, you want a larger piston in the master to be able to move more fluid down at each caliper.

Something we just were looking at, is the 2 and 3 port versions of the master cylinders. The BM44 it seems is a 3 port used with non-ABS cars, and the BM50 being a 2 port used with ABS.

Does a brake master cylinder stopper work?
