dr_hunt Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Did a search didn't find anything related. Question. Master cylinder on my boys 260z was cracked. Bought a new one, had to adjust the pedal throw cause it seemed that it wouldn't back off enough and had no stroke. Went to bleed it and only the back brakes bleed, the front doesn't bleed even on the master cyl itself. So, is there different master cylinders, this one looks identical except for the position of the brake lines on the bottom, same bore dia, just about identical. Same piston end showing on the booster side, etc. What gives? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I think the 260's can have one of two M/C's.. IIRC, early ones have a small one, and near the end of production on the 260 they changed them to the same M/C the 280 uses.. I could be wrong.. have you tried swaping the brake lines fron to back on the master? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 Well no fluid comes out of the back reservoir port of the MC, which is for the front brakes. When I installed it I had to adjust the pedal travel to even get it to work so I was guessing it was the wrong MC. Now that I am aware that there is that possibility I'll order another and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
