NOTE:

the diagram below shows the general principle; in no case should it be taken as reference for the circuit connections and allocations. When replacing one of the components of the brake circuit on a vehicle, always mark the pipes before removing them so that they can be connected back in their original positions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Brake unions and pipes

The connection of the pipes between the master cylinder, callipers, compensator, and hydraulic assembly is made by means of threaded unions with metric thread.

Consequently, only parts listed in the Parts Catalogue for this vehicle should be used.

Identification of parts:

SHAPE of the steel or copper PIPE end piece (A),

SHAPE of THREADED CASINGS on components (B),

pipe UNIONS coloured GREEN or BLACK: external hexagon measuring 11 mm or 12 mm (C).

Brake fluid

BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT INTERVAL

Braking technology, in particular for disc brakes (hollow pistons which transfer little heat, low volume of fluid in the cylinder, sliding callipers avoiding the need for a fluid reservoir in the least cooled area of the wheel), has allowed us to avoid the risk of vapour lock as far as possible, even if the brakes are used intensively (in mountainous areas).

Modern brake fluids still degrade slightly during the first few months of use due to a small uptake of humidity and replacement of the fluid is therefore recommended (refer to vehicle's Servicing booklet).

Topping up the level

Wear of the brake pads and shoes will cause a gradual drop in the fluid level in the reservoir. This drop should not be compensated for since the level will rise again when the pads are changed. The level should not however be allowed to fall below the minimum mark.

Approved brake fluids:

Mixing two incompatible brake fluids in the circuit will cause a risk of major leaks, mainly due to deterioration of the cups. To avoid such risks, it is essential to keep to brake fluids which have been checked and approved by our laboratories and which conform to Standard SAE J 1703 dot 4.

For optimized use of vehicles equipped with an Electronic Stability Program, Nissan recommends a brake fluid with low viscosity in cold conditions (maximum 750 mm2/s at - 40°C).

GENERAL INFORMATION Bleeding of the brake circuit (except ABS)

30

SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED

Brake circuit bleeding device

On vehicles fitted with a brake servo, it is important that the servo system is not actuated while the system is being bled, regardless of which method is being used to bleed the system.

The bleeding is done on a four-post lift, wheels on the ground.

Connect the bleeding device to the brake circuit bleed valves.

Start the bleeding device in accordance with its instruction manual.

Adjust the output pressure to 2 Bar.

This vehicle is fitted with an X-type braking circuit, so proceed as follows:

Open:

the bleed screw of the rear right-hand wheel and let the fluid flow out for around 20 seconds,

the bleed screw of the front left-hand wheel and let the fluid flow out for around 20 seconds.

Ignore the air bubbles in the pipes of the bleeding device.

Open:

the bleed screw of the rear left-hand wheel and let the fluid flow out for around 20 seconds,

the bleed screw of the front right-hand wheel and let the fluid flow out for around 20 seconds,

Check the firmness of the brake pedal when depressed (press several times).

Repeat the bleeding operation if necessary.

Top up the brake fluid level in the reservoir having disconnected the bleeding device.

Check the tightness of the bleed screws and that the sealing caps are all present.

The effectiveness and balance of the vehicle braking system may be checked on a suitable brake test bench.

(Refer to Section 38 for information on bleeding a braking circuit equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System).

30-8

GENERAL INFORMATION

Influence of geometry

The influence of different geometry on tracking and vehicle tyre wear.

30

CAMBER

The comparison between the left and right-hand geometry is vital. A difference greater than one degree between the two sides will cause the direction to be offset, making steering wheel corrections necessary and causing excessive tyre wear.

The value of this geometry is usually small: in the region of 1°.

CASTOR

The comparison between the left and right-hand geometry is essential. A difference greater than one degree between the two sides will cause the direction to be offset, making steering wheel corrections necessary and causing excessive tyre wear.

This is characterised by drifting with the speed being stabilised on the side where the angle is smallest.

STEERING HEIGHT

This travel affects the wheel alignment variation during suspension travel.

Variations in alignment between the right hand and left hand wheels will lead to the following (with the steering wheel remaining in the same position):

drift to one side under acceleration,

drift to the other side under braking,

track changes on uneven road surfaces.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

This adjustment has little effect on the road holding.

Note:

a significant toe-out excess leads to symmetrical wear on the inside of both tyres,

a significant toe-in excess leads to symmetrical wear on the outside of both tyres.

30-9

GENERAL INFORMATION Geometry testing principle

30

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Before checking the axle geometry, you must check the following points and remedy them if necessary:

symmetry of the tyres on the same axle:

dimensions,

pressures,

degree of wear.

joints:

condition of cushions and elastic bearings,

ball joint gaps,

bearing gaps.

run-out of wheels: must not exceed 1.2 mm (it will be compensated for by the measuring equipment).

symmetry of underbody heights (condition of the suspension).

DETERMINING THE STEERING CENTRE POINT

The steering centre point must be set before checking and adjusting the front axle in order to avoid drifting problems.

Remove the ignition switch key.

Straighten the wheels.

Lock the steering: the centre point position is obtained.

Fit the measuring equipment with the wheels in this position and make the checks.

When adjusting the wheel alignment, be aware of the symmetry of the ball joint box X lengths with the steering links.

30-10

GENERAL INFORMATION Front axle checking and adjustment

30

CHRONOLOGICAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

Due to the geometric arrangement of the front axles, a modification of one of the angles (castor, camber, pivot, alignment and variation) has repercussions to a greater or lesser extent on the values of the other angles. (The castor angle is the one which has the greatest effect).

It is therefore essential to work in the following order:

fit the equipment on the vehicle according to the manufacturer's instructions,

locate the steering centre point (see preceding paragraph) and lock the steering wheel,

raise the vehicle underbody,

compensate for wheel rim run-out,

place the vehicle on pivoting plates,

fit the brake pedal press,

adjust the suspension to bring the vehicle to its maximum height,

check that the X lengths on the ball joint units are symmetrical with the steering links,

– plot the A values on the reading scale.

1Correct symmetry of X lengths:

the dimension (A) must be evenly distributed.

2Incorrect symmetry of X lengths:

plot the dimensions (A) on the right-hand and lefthand side, subtract them from one another and distribute the result with half on each side.

Example:

Right-hand side value: 16 Left-hand side value: 10 16 - 10 = 6

6:2 = 3

Adjust the steering links in order to balance the values

(A) of both sides:

A = 13

once in this position, set the pivoting plates to zero,

and check the following in sequence:

castor,

pivot,

camber,

wheel alignment.

ADJUSTING THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Correction to be made

1

Make the same number of turns with the adjuster (or sockets)

 

 

 

but in the opposite direction on the left and right to get the

 

 

 

same value (A) on both sides.

2

NOT OK

OK

Set the alignment to the same value on the right and left,

 

 

 

ensuring that the values (A) are always identical on both

 

 

 

sides.

GENERAL INFORMATION Brake fault finding

30

This fault finding procedure covers all types of circuit and braking components for the current range of vehicle not fitted with the Anti-lock Braking System.

For vehicles fitted with the Anti-lock Braking System, refer to Section 38.

Only those components belonging to the vehicles which are covered in this Workshop Repair Manual should be included in the fault finding procedure.

This fault finding procedure is produced in two separate parts, making it easier to find the relevant section.
