smoorenc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I just bought a new master clutch from Johns Cars along with the driveshaft. When I looked at the master cylinder there were not 2 bolts or a section that would mount to the firewall. I called John and he explained that there is a square that twist locks. I can see that now. I am suppose to make a couple small notches into the firewall so that the square part can slide in where the circle is, then twist to lock it in place. Has anyone done this? I was googling for some kind of square to 2 bolt adapter, but I didn't see anything. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm not sure how that part is supposed to work on a Z car without some fab work. If I buy a part from a vendor like that I expect it to be a bolt on deal. I would bet you have the wrong part. If that is the right part, I'd send it back and buy a tilton master cyclinder.

smoorenc Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) I sent it back to JCI for a refund. I started looking at the different connections and I don't see anywhere how people got the line to a quick connect on the T56. Where can I get that part? anyone know? I found this, anyone know if this wouldn't work? clutch lines Edited January 6, 2011 by smoorenc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domzs, what fittings and adapters did you purchase? I have a 83zx MC sitting around also. So I was curious if you could let me know what it is you used from ls1/t56 to your 83zx? I'm putting this into my 75 280z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
