onefast87 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 k guys, my master cylinder for the brakes has failed and i need a replacement. i called my local nissan dealership and they want over 330$. courtesy nissan wants like 170$. can anyone tell me what the part number is so i can look it up? or how much is this part actually worth? i can get a no name part for 60$ on ebay or i can get a tokico part for around 160$, wich sounds about right. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-TOKICO-Nissan-Brake-Master-Cylinder-Power-Break-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aPathfinderQQhashZitem563949ef6aQQitemZ370328334186QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories this new parts guy at my local nissan makes things so difficult, always get the wrong prices and run arounds. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Well, $330 at a local dealership and $170 at a cheap "real" dealership sounds normal to me. Then you have much lower prices if you want to go aftermarket. I probably wouldn't buy aftermarket if I could get one from the dealer for $10 more... but this is a bit of a generalization.

There is a wide variety of master cylinders available on RockAuto for under $100. That's probably the route I would go, but I don't much experience with master cylinders.

Chriskaw440 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I changed my own brake master cylinder years ago and I sure as heck did NOT get one from a dealership at their rip off pricing. I either got it at Rock Auto or some supplier I can't remember but it was easy to install and has been fine for over 6 years now. Bleeding it (bench bleeding) was the only tricky part....then of course the system has to be bled after installing is done. I think I paid between $70 and $100 for the master cylinder. Dealerships are ok on some pricing and of course if only a genuine nissan part has to be used. I've been a rock auto parts customer for years now and never had any issues. Great delivery and they always send me updated catalogs on closeout parts for my pathfinder of which I have gotten some GREAT deals on. Just this week I ordered the last of their rear control arm bushings for only $14 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasPathfinder Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I bought one for $58 2 years ago and so far so good! http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Fenco-New-Master-Cylinder-Brake-System/1993-Nissan-Datsun-Pathfinder-4WD/_/N-j22otZ8kn47?counter=0&itemIdentifier=34937_0_0_6543 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
