Borneoben I too was wondering why he has no valve in it. How is he going to go on autocross events :0

Borneoben autocrosses are actually the least of the problem. It’s the most annoying on the street under very light brake situations. In autocross since you stay in second for the majority of the time you can left foot brake, or even just use your left foot to prime the pedal before coming into a braking zone. I’m running a 280ZX master cylinder (7/8” 2 reservoir, single chamber) and have always had issues with proportioning and brake feel. There is NO space for a booster, the master is on the same side of the bay as the intake and exhaust. I have a feeling part of my problem is the proximity of the master to the headers, warm fluid is bad fluid. The next steps on this project involve a new rear end (LSD) and a pedal box with individual masters and a proportioning valve. During this process I’ll also be able to switch the rear lines to braided steel and unify the brake lines (right now they’re steel up front and rubber in back).

ive ran plenty of manual brakes (drum, discs, drums/discs) and the only times i had to double pump is when they werent properly bleed. Always bench bleed and us a proper brake bleeder tool. No issues since i started doing that. Fluid heats up from hard braking as well. I would recommend using as much hardline as possible and having braided for places that require articulation.

My 280zx has a phat heat shield in between the intake/exhaust and the brake master cylinder. Can you heat wrap the exhaust if a shield isn't practical? Might even have added benefits with lower engine bay temps

Sure, you don't have to deal with ECU's and sensors. It's all about old school tuning, carbs, cams

" it's a jungle of hoses" Actually that was more older cars with all the vacuum lines. That was one of the huge problems with hide away head lights, one leak, no lights haha. New cars are all wires and a sea of plastic as you said.

old efi was a cluster fuck too though lol

sure is... *dailies a salvage 280zx*

My GF had one back in the 80's. Same colour. The engine had a problem where it would run fine in first or second, but die when you were in 3rd or 4th. Guess what it was ... the distributor had a dual point set up where it advanced the timing in 1st and 2nd, but the second set was set to retard the timing in 3rd and Top gear. This is required for most any high comp engines to get the most torque. Found out the second set of points were bad. I replaced them, gapped them and it ran great. There was a mechanical switch on the trans to select the point set. Never seen that before, and never seen that again! Cheers! - Sandy

Yeaaah volvos are awesome :D

volvo and audi wagons are amazing

I give you the ultra rare Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion - www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1182171

ChaosphereIX I completely agree

This wagon needs a turbo volvo motor.

The problem arose when I went to Wilwoods calipers up front. There’s a combination of problems including a master cylinder chamber to actual brake size mismatch as well as a heat issue because the master is so close to the headers. It’s all on the list, I’ve just learned to deal with the pedal for the meantime until I decide to go to a different pedal box/master scenario.

Matt Dock your car is so gnarly, I tip my hat sir 👌

Bolek989 haha eyes up!

You need to cross the Sierra Nevada on Sherman Pass, Sonora Pass, or take one of the various drives down the Feather River canyons. LA canyons are sketchy, Sierra canyons are arduous. Lol

thanks for narrating

I did also even before watching the video.

I see this comment and I hit like

brian5o Nissan has gone down hill bad. Especially putting cvt in there cars

TheDustyaman I totally agree. Nissan has committed to cvts seemingly more than any automaker. On the good side, they still do offer some manual transmissions, too but I absolutely hate their styling nowadays. It seems like their styling department has been taken over by a bunch of anime animators. Probably the last Nissan that I liked the styling of was the last 240SX.

brian5o they make the lower cars look like the upper car market from last gens. Like Altima looks like last gen maxima. Then the Sentra looks like the last gen Altima. They have lazy styling. They need to be fired and have someone that’s a Nissan nut to change their cars

so tired...

didn't expect to see this on here lol

lmaoo

so tired

I’m a simple man, I see dick and I suck.

I just found 1 in a garage fine lol did some work for them and they gave me it we got it to run but needs some TLC and a battery there super light

But does she chooch?

Skookum as frig.

I love the SR in all forms, I just don’t want one in this car (I have one in my B13 Sentra). If you built a 230hp NA SR you’d be talking about an insane amount of money - both in the motor and the swap. I can get similar power from an over the top L series build and spend less on it and less time swapping the motor in and out of the car.

I told him before we got in the car lol.

WikdSeafood Yes, you need to swap the crossmember and completely revamp the fuel delivery system with an in tank pump. Not to mention the wiring headache.

Sound like more than it might be worth.
