Need some advice on brake master and brake booster...
« on: September 01, 2010, 06:52:23 AM »
Hi guys,

I purchased the below from another zed enthusiast a while ago.   He was racing his Zed and had upgraded to a larger setup - so picked this up pretty cheap.  Contains the following:

240z - 260z Front and Rear Brake package
Front Calipers - Toyota 4 pot, Front pads EDC yellow racing compound, Front ventilated discs from 280zx with custom spacer. 
Rear Calipers - R31 single pot slider with hand brake mechanism, Rear disc Skyline R31 rotors, rear pads Ferodo Excel pads.
Stainless braided hoses were also provided.

I have done some looking around into brake booster and master cylinder suggestions.   So far (and correct me if I am wrong), most people seem to keep the standard 260z booster yeah? 
The brake upgrade under the bonnet generally appears to be the 280zx master cylinder OR Patrol 1"??

Which is this the best option for my proposed brake upgrade?

My engine bay is being stripped right back for re-spray, so this is the perfect opportunity to make any changes you guys may suggest as worthwhile.

Can you guys point me in the right direction here? 

FYI - my zed is a 77 2+2 and engine going in is a very mild fuel injected L28.  Will eventually have a turbo installed though.

Use the 1" one for that setup.

Thanks Lurch.

I am assuming there is info somewhere on this 1" Booster Part?

Nissan Patrol yeah?  Any particular year?

Does it come with reservoirs and everything required to fit?

Anything I should be aware of?

Cheers.
