[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

I have a 1973 with the wheel well mounted prop valve and then firewall mounted that feeds passenger front brake and rear brakes. I have been able to mount the stock 15/16 ZX booster to the Z31 brake booster. I made new lines for that. I did by an adj. prop valve.

 

-Is the firewall mounted proportioning valve a "damper" device of some sort. I do not know why there would be 2 proportioning valves. I did take it apart and cleaned it (wow was it nasty, both of them actually).

Thanks, GI

[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

What if I run lines directly to the front calipers and plug off the prop. valve at those three sites and run a line from the MC rear port to the prop. valve rear inlet?

NewZed,

 

-that makes sense about the amount of fluid for the calipers.

 

-I am extending the booster to MC pin since the 240z booster spacer make the MC sit too far out.

 

-I will post some pics soon.

 

Thanks,

GI 

[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

So I have the 15/16" ZX MC mated up to the Z31 booster but the BB to MC pin seems a bit short. I usually run .020" clearance but with the original MC spacer/mount I am not even close. Does anyone make a longer rod that is adjustable?

 

Thanks, GI

[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

The Z31 booster is the same diameter as the 73 z, just dual diaphragm. I hesitate with wilwood product quality is why I haven't looked at their 1" MC.

Thank you,

GI

[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

-I read up on the "fast fill MC aka Quick uptake MC".

 

- It does not say you can use  a non-low drag caliper with a fast fill MC.

 

-But, it did say you cannot use low drag caliper with a regular MC.

 

-So my question is:

 

-Can I block off one of the front caliper ports, since it has 2 for the front, and run it with regular calipers?

 

Thanks,

GI

[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

It is a 15/16 bore MC.

 

-If the MC is not recommended, can I use the 280zx MC with Z31 booster.

 

- I have a ZX MC but thought the dual diaphragm would brake the car better since it will have a 3.0 liter in it.

 

-I just need to know if I can plug the one outlet and run the one to the 240Z  prop valve

 

Thanks, GI

[Z31 booster and MC on 240Z]

So I have modified a Z31 dual-diaphragm booster and also bought the MC.

 

-The MC has 2 outlets though for the front brakes.

 

-Can I plug one of the outlets?

 

OR

 

-Do I need to plumb lines separately to the front calipers?

 

Currently I have:

 

Toyota 4 pistons up front

 

Mustang calipers rear

 

Thanks, GI

 

 

[wiring harness route from firewall to rear quarter panel]

Thank you all for the replies. Just trying to finish this sadly failed project and get it to my son.

[wiring harness route from firewall to rear quarter panel]

I do have a service manual, but it does not show the detail of the routing by the evap canister forward to the  pass. door. It is the 1972 factory manual. 

[wiring harness route from firewall to rear quarter panel]

Does anyone have a pic of the wiring harness route from passenger firewall to rear quarter panel on a 1973 240Z.

 

-Any grommets needed at junction points (i.e. interior light, rear brake route).

 

Thank's GI

[What is this bracket by the diff strap for - 1973 240Z]

Cannot figure out what this part may be for. 1973 240Z. It is the bracket with hole and the partially threaded bolt in place.

 

Thanks, GIchiro

[Hydrobooster Application]

Has anyone done this with the L6 motor? I need to know what Bracket I would need for which power steering pump.

Thanks, GI

[Power brake booster-again]

What is the name of the company in Sacramento that rebuilds the boosters?

Thanks, GI

[aftermarket wiring]

Thank you so much for the input

[aftermarket wiring]

Can someone please guide me to a comprehensive aftermarket re-wire write-up for the 240Z.

 

-I have a 1973 that is a shell and Just seems that there is just way to much wire in the stock harness.

 

-The company that was going to restore the car (failed project sadly) had one of there guys cut up some of the original harness.

 

-I also plan to use the speedhut gauges and would like to modernize the harness.

 

-I do have the EZ 20 circuit harness.

 

Many thanks, G Ichiro

[Wanted 240z]

I just found a nice 1973 in OR area. My dad picked it up and took it to his Uncle's shop to check the basics and then off to z-car garage for a head to toe inspection and recommendation. I am excited, it looks really nice. Thanks for all your help. Now I'll be posting in teh other areas for parts/diagnostic help. GI

[Wanted 240z]

I would even consider a nice solid body z with no motor or trans at this point. GI

[Wanted 240z]

That is INSANE!!!!! I'll have to pass since any post 1975 must have smog in CA. Good Luck, GI

[Wanted 240z]

Wow that is beautiful but slightly over my budget. GI

[Wanted 240z]

Sounds great, but i do not have the time or shop to put it all together though. I am looking for a z like "lumberjack" sold recently, "ready to go". Thanks for your time. George

[Wanted 240z]

Very nice car but it would be very difficult without the engine/powertrain. Thank you, George
