383 240z Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I have the Datsun almost back on the ground. I need to plumb the brake lines so I had to mount the booster to the firewall and buy a master cylinder. I have a 1980 15/16" 280ZX Master and a 1978 2+2 booster. will this system work with Ross's extreme brake set up? It will be some time until I can afford that kit but I want to have the right components in place now. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Keith, the Xtreme 13" fronts with rear 11.4" CNC disk setup works fine with OEM Z or 15/16" MC. I'm not right up on boosters though and have long wanted to see a fine summary of the pros/cons, mix'n'match possibilities with MC's/boosters for Z's. I've got customers running the Xtreme's with both OEM and 15/16's.....as well as 4x4 typical vented fronts etc as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 That is good to hear I just mounted the MC to the booster I'll be getting a ton of hard line and fittings. I am having a hard time locating a resivoir. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I am running a 280ZX 2+2 booster and m/c combo in my '71 with C4 12" front brakes and 11.4" rears and I like it. It might feel a little over-boosted to some but I do not like a rock-hard brake pedal. I believe the 280Z 2+2 booster is slightly smaller and might not feel as boosted.

260DET Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 My brakes are around the same size, the 2+2 booster works well with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 hey a note of those resoviors. im sure you have probably found some that will work. but i thought i would metion that tilton resoviors work great. i picked mine up at a Muscle motorsports for about 6 bucks. This included new tanks and caps along with new clamps for the bottom , also the filtering screens. They also have screw on caps which i think are alot better than the push on datsun ones. -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 I cleaned the resovoirs up today. they look pretty good I never thout to look at muscle motorsports for them, The ones I got have screw on caps. I think I'll stick with them for now I mounted the booster but it has to come off again as I'm still cleaning the firewall and welding some of the holes shut.
