Thank You everybody. this is going to be my daily driver, and the fatal collision was a head on accident at 40 mph. I am upgrading the brakes and putting in strut bars, as well as some new seats and a new seatbelt.

Hello, I am looking for many ways to upgrade the safety of the S30. I have a 1973 Datsun 240z, no modifications beyond small things like the oil filter, fuel filter and air filter. I recently lost a family member in an accident and they were driving a top-safety pick, 5 air bag 2009 brand new car. Seeing how much damage can come out of whats supposed to be a top-safety car, I would like to make my car as safe as possible: 1. Racing style, strong seats 2. Racing 5 point Cam-lock harness 3. Air Bags if possible 4. Sway bars 5. Strut Bars 6. Any modifications you have made that increase the safety of your Z If you can please leave links to install info if applicable or leave your tutorial Thank You

Okay I simply want to know if I can take a new 10" Booster I have from an '83 280zx laying around, and put the Master cylinder from the same car into my '73 240z (Manual, not Automatic) without any clearance issues. I here people say this works by rotating the booster to fit the firewall mounts without problems and I here other people say that it won't hookup without any difficult modifying. Which one is correct?

Nigel, the information you are giving me is great, it is exactly what I am looking for. The problem is that my OEM brake booster and master cylinder need replacing along with most of the stock brake parts. Should I just get new ones or refurbish my old ones.

I know about those, but I keep hearing from other people that the Reman ones dont actually fit correctly to a stock brake booster, but I will give them a try.

I have spent hours going through about fifty pages in the brake section looking for just a detailed installation of a 15/16" Master Cylinder and larger Brake booster in a 240z. I have a 1973 240z that I would like to put the Silver Mine Stage 3 front brake kit on and so far my only options are waiting for an elusive and expensive 280zx Master Cylinder or dropping close to $350 on a Wilwood 1" Master Cylinder and an unknown Brake Booster. Could people who have cheaper alternatives please post links to the parts and maybe a quick guide. I really don't need a 1" cylinder and all of the current guides are not detailed. Thank You
