FastFloridian Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 9 hours ago, 74_5.0L_Z said: Hopefully you are converting to all SAE / AN brake fittings. It's a real pain to have a mix of metric and SAE. I routed my brake lines inside the cabin to get the brake lines away from heat. I'm running a Wilwood Tandem Master Cylinder (7/8" bore) and use a proportioning valve installed on the drive shaft tunnel. Honestly not sure yet on fittings. I’ve only done caliper swaps, this is the most comprehensive brake system overhaul I’ve done. Gonna see what I’ve got to work with and go from there, wish me luck 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFloridian Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Got a little bit of time in the garage today. Got most of the front brake plumbing done, just waiting on the lines I ordered for the master cylinders. Also ordered this steering column mounted lights/turn signal switch and relay set. Will help with the wiring as I’ve tossed everything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFloridian Posted Monday at 11:03 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:03 PM (edited) Got a few goodies today, first I found a cool bracket that can allow me to use a hydraulic set up for the clutch, it’ll let me get rid of the weird mechanical set up someone rigged up. Second was an impulse buy, while getting the turn signal/light switch and relay they had this emergency power stop button and solenoid.

74_5.0L_Z Posted yesterday at 12:35 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:35 PM I like the external slave cylinder. You may have to clearance the driveshaft tunnel a bit, and it will create another obstacle to routing headers. I'm using a Tilton hydraulic throw-out bearing. Works great and doesn't take up space in the driveshaft tunnel. The downside is that if it leaks then you have to remove the transmission to fix it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, we’ll see when I get it together on fitment, looks like a good option if this doesn’t work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to get a good amount done this weekend, and my apex rear suspension kit should be coming in soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago When are you hoping to get this car on track? I'm hoping to do an SCCA track day at Sebring in February. It would be nice to see you guys there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to do an SCCA track day at Sebring in February. It would be nice to see you guys there. I’m shooting to have it ready by about this time next year, 2 years from when I bought it, so the 240Z won’t be ready. But I am planning to do Sebring a few times January through April, probably in my 370Z (I’ve taken my Tesla there a few times too). I’ve never done an SCCA track day, I’ve always gone there with Chin. Let me know if you sign up, I’ll look into it. I would love to see your car and get some ideas tips to finishing mine.
