mrp69 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 hey guys need this info pretty quick cant seem to find a write up cheers peter Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Unbolt the 7/8th & bolt the 15/16th one back in. There's no modding required, Pete. Quote
NZeder Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Do you have discs on the rear? If so look for Lurch's post about removing the line pressure valve from the rear circuit this will stop the rears from having too much bias due to the 10lbs of pressure already in the line (require for drums) Quote
mrp69 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 my rear brakes will be upgraded next week It's just the car I'm coverting off has a large booster And mine a normal one it's causing interferance with the clutch mc So that's more the issue now thou Quote
S30Mike Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 on the subject, with stock brakes is it literally a straight bolt in swap from the 260 MC to the 280 MC? Quote
paddles Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Hey guys, does anyone know where to get a 15/16 280zx master from? I haven't been able to find anyone that sells them new. Quote
NZeder Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 on the subject, with stock brakes is it literally a straight bolt in swap from the 260 MC to the 280 MC? That is a yes and no answer - yes to one version and no to another. I can't recall which is which but one is not a straight bolt on, I can't recall which it is a Series I (79-82) or a Series II (82-83) Quote
nuclear_z Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Pete give me a yell if you need a hand with the change over... Thomas Quote
zed240au Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 i bought brand new pbr 1" master cylinder to suit patrol from local spare parts place but repco said they could get them too just couple days delivery Quote
sco_aus Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 JB1419 is the Patrol 1" MC part number if anyone is interested. If you havn't already read it, there is a BUT. With the 1", it will bolt to the booster, but the brake pipes/lines feed from the side, not the bottom like on the zeds. However, this also means that should you have your pipes modified to fit, you can then get the Patrol 15/16th and swap between the two if need be... Quote
NZeder Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 JB1914 is the Patrol 1" MC part number if anyone is interested.You sure about that number I can only find reference to a JB1419 for a 77-79 Patrol and listed as 25.40mm aka 1" here is pic of the JB1419 for reference also Also on this site there is a post of the JB1419 partnumber as the 1" MC for the Patrol see http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,1639.msg21181.html#msg21181 Quote
S30Mike Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 So im understanding the patrol MC doesnt bolt straight on but the 280zx one does Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 What the...? Why is this so hard to understand? The 280ZX one bolts straight on, no mods required. The 1" Patrol MC bolts straight onto the booster BUT the brake lines have to be modified. Quote
stevo_gj Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 What the...? Why is this so hard to understand? The 280ZX one bolts straight on, no mods required. The 1" Patrol MC bolts straight onto the booster BUT the brake lines have to be modified. /thread Quote
paddles Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hey guys, does anyone know where to get a 15/16 280zx master from? I haven't been able to find anyone that sells them new. Anyone? Quote
sco_aus Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 The U.S is all unless second hand and most likely requiring a rebuild. Quote
S30Mike Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 The U.S is all unless second hand and most likely requiring a rebuild. Yep, ive been to repco, auto1 etc.. none of them can order them. Looks like the U>S is the go. thanks for the clarification Lurch Quote
lucas28 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Call Ians A grade mechanical in Hervey Bay Queensland ---(07 4128 1113 ) he has a BRAND NEW 15/16 " M/c that i got from ARizona Z car----Unused ---have decided to use the 1" nissan patrol M/C . Quote
Woza01 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I got the Patrol 1" Master as well, and have a good 15/16 lying around as a spare now (anyone interested ?).... Anyway....the Patrol ones seem to be a little difficult to find.....heres another option perhaps http://www.wilwood.com/Products/006-MasterCylinders/008-CRTMC/index.asp Quote
Scando Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Something you guys might find interesting. I did the 1" Patrol master cylinder upgrade last week. The cylinder I used was made by "Reliance Parts". I think it might have been made wrong because the brake lines feed into the bottom.............so they bolt straight into a Z with no modifications to the lines. Cool hey! The part number is JB1419 same as the guys have listed above. Quote
