Alternatives for brake master and booster
Posted this in bakes and suspension but have yet to get any replies so im trying here. I have already replaced my abs brake master and booster unit that us as gs owners have been cursed with once already and now a few years later my abs light is coming on every once in awhile which i feel like its on its way out again and i refuse to buy another used one and not know how long before its gonna go out again plus its expensive. So i was wonder if anyone knew of any master cylinder and brake booster i can use like the ones out of the sc300 or ls400 or even the supra so i dont have to get another used factory one. Dont really care about abs thats what my right foot is for. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Just curious... so the only reason you're doing the repair is to get the light to go out?

The entire assembly can be had for $250 from JDM importers on ebay. I did mine that way and the install is quite easy. 4 nuts and two lines, and all the electrical connectors. I don't consider that expensive, but maybe you do. I'd just try another and hope for better luck. Mine has been great so far, but only been in for 6 months now.

Is this the fix for "ABS engages last few feet, and it drives me crazy" issue...?

Since its everything in one unit, I'm sure its probably the fix for everything abs related. I didn't have physically low peddle or hydraulic issues, or abs activating at any odd times. I simply had lights going off and the accumulator motor running every time I hit the brakes. I bet a replacement unit and a proper bleed will make the brake system work great.

Ya, feeling JDM "AF" with my Aristo booster :driving: haha :p

It could just be a wheel sensor causing the light to come on, y'know.

What is the code causing the ABS light to illuminate? Should probably check that first before you assume the master cylinder assembly is bad.

Here is my bay if anybody was wondering. I dont have money to throw away to keep buying that stupid unit over and over again there are many other things i would like to buy instead. Plus abs imho are for people who dont know how to drive and who dont have any brake control. Plus i was thinking of going manual 6 speed with either v160, cd009 or t56 and switching to a regular booster and master would look way better in the bay than that bulky unit and it would give me alot more room for the clutch slave cylinder but that will be in the future just want to plan ahead |
