gretchen/jason Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 So i posted a thread about the brakes acting up in certain sitiuaitions . I was going to buy a proporition valve but i have a vacuum canister laying around so i hooked it up . Started the car and let it run then shut it down and heard this buzzing sound coming from the check valve on the booster . Well the canister was holding a vacuum but kept sucking air from the booster . So i tested the check valve it worked took a hand vacuum pump and trried to apply vacuum to the booster well no luck no vacuum . Funny that the pedal effort never changed when it started to leak . Ok after all that ive looked around at the auto stores checker napa etc etc they claim they can get a booster but when the try to order one it tells them its no longer avaiable . Any ideas where to pick one up ? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotfitz Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Just a week ago I purchased a booster for a 260 from Oreilly's after a 2 1/2 year rebuild, which the NON 2+2 is the same for the 280 NON 2+2 (8 1/2" diameter). It was about $100 after discount, remanufactured. There was massive pitting, but it worked and didn't leak. I doubt there will be any problem ordering one from Courtesy Nissan, but if the price is alittle to much and you can't find one locally, PM me.

Savage42 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 They list them for that price at http://www.partsamerica.com and you may be able to pick it up locally or have it shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeZ Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Advance Auto. $119.00 including $29.00 core. I bought one for my early 260, but yet to install. Looks the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
