violacleff Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I don't know if its a stupid question but the shop working on my z has some 240sx half cuts lying around. Right now they're installing my haltech but my MC has gone bad and will have to be replaced before I can drive it home and a new one's gonna cost me $200.

zcarnut Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The 240SX master cylinder has a different bolt spacing on the mounting flange where it joins the brake booster. You will have to remove two of the master cylinder mounting studs on the S30 booster and then you will still have to slot the holes on the 240SX master. In addition the brake line attachments are in a different location on the 240SX master so you will have to make new lines. Finally, the 240SX master will probably have the proportioning valve inside, where the S30's used an external one. $200 for an S30 master cylinder?? That’s a rip off. Get one from the aftermarket. It will probably be an OEM one anyway (Nabco or Tokico). They sell on eBay all the time for under $75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I was going to say that I bought a whole 280zx (well it was 'free' but I had to pay for towing) for $250. Got the M/C that bolts up AND is bigger (going to do the toy4x4 brake upgrade), and a bunch of other stuff too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
