That's a non-abs valve on my GA16DE to SR20DE converted NX.
My Sunny GTI came with ABS as standard and if i remember right, there are way more lines going in to the equivalent valve.
Having put the full Sunny GTI set-up on the NX: AD22VF's at the front and CL9HA's at the rear, from existing smaller calipers at the front and drums at the rear, the thing is way tail happy braking in to a corner when the back end goes light! Had to swap the MC and Booster to cure the long pedal, and i forgot about the valve...
I believe the balance is set by the FPR lookalike bolt on piece on the left of it.
Be very wary of where you source a replacement as i believe they're very specific to each model and brake set-up.

Good luck man

ok put a re-manied rear caliper on and i can still move the wheel wtih the break depressed. i bled the **** out of it, the peddle is rock solid not spungie at all. at this point im at a total ****ing LOSS.

im taking it to one of my fathers buddies shops, hopefully he can figure it out, cause at this point ive had enough.

thats ****ty man. Now Im no expert...but maybe there is a clog in your line(s)? Just throwing out a possibility.

Hopin for the best!

no clogs cause when i bleed them they the fluid blasts out from the bleeder.
