R30 Brake Master Cylinder
RiCkY TuTtY replied to RiCkY TuTtY's topic in Classic & Vintage (1950's-1980's)
Cheers for the reply bud, i am getting a quote from the mechanics next to my work on how much the brake/clutch specialists a couple of suburbs away would charge to rebuild (fingers crossed) if they can and if so, i am hoping it wont cost an arm and a leg -
R30 Brake Master Cylinder
RiCkY TuTtY replied to RiCkY TuTtY's topic in Classic & Vintage (1950's-1980's)
Well basically, my brakes have failed in mine - check list that has past are - calipers, hoses, lines, air locks, etc. and the booster but ultimately it has come down to an internal leak within the Master due to pedal going to floor and is really soft. have also spoken to mechanic's as well with the same conclusion being the front piston seal has given way... I don't think they are available new? But i haven't been given the chance to call round due to work + Funds are not the brightest at the moment either... -
As above i am in need of a Brake master cylinder to suit a 1982 R30 Skyline Hatch Does anyone have one in QLD?

HAHAHAH theres no doubt about that!!! i will probably know how to do any timing chain now since its taken this long to do it on mine! next on the list is front coilover conversion! already have hubs, knuckles, brakes, etc (and 1 LCA, but need another LOL) just need coilovers for the front and lower the rear to compensate (OR get rear coilovers with front S13 tophats to suit tower) and bobs ur uncle! BUT i wont be going BOSOZUKO style trust me!!!! so there should be any problem with tie rod inclination then after that rack'n'pinion hopefully i hate BOXES!!!!!!!!!!! OH! i forgot to mention but will look into the mounting of the s13/R31 caster arm brackets that mount to the radiator support so i can run adjustable caster arms aswell (i'm aiming for increased caster (as much as possible without issues) aswell as around 1-1.5 Degree (AT MOST) Chamber aswell) as i am a qualified underbody specialist/Wheel Aligner (but not as current job ) thats wat would be good for around the streets for cornering at a respectable ride height without chopping tyres (depending on the r30's reaction to these dramatic changes with adjust toe to suit but would be around 2-3mm TOTAL toe) -

there is 2 sort of shiny links on the chain but im not sure if this is correct on mine due to there's only 35 links going from each mark on the cam/crankshaft i had to pull the hole front of the motor and start again... i will try and get to it 2mora hopefully just every things hectic and doing it on my own is becoming difficult to time restrictions and other events getting in the way.... Thankyou guys so much for all ur help so far i cant believe how much u guys have helped! wouldn't of gotten anywhere without u guys! now i have do de3al with my thumb playing up from previous surgery -

Hey guys i saw on here earlier about sourcing parts from ImportMonster.com.au for another choice BUT.... A. The parts mostly on there (VIA Yahoo! Auctions i will add) are dirt cheap! but Too Cheap? B. Shipping Costs Are Maddness!!! i was looking at a set of coilovers - just say for instance $160 - cheapest was $450 all up! via sea and pickup melbourne (god knows how i would get it then lol as im up at brizzies) does this sound right? Item Cost: 12,000¥ Japanese Domestic Freight: 5,000¥ Import Monster Commission: 2,500¥ Total Japan Costs: 19,500¥ Exchange Rate: $1AUD buys: 75.01¥ Import Duty: 1,200¥ Container Freight Cost: $125.00 Australian Domestic Freight: N/A Sub Total: $400.96 GST: $40.10 Total: $441.06

i managed to have all this done, i *think* i did the timing chain right but not 100% sure.... due to i am stuck AgAiN!!! the timing is waaaaay off i think 40degree BTDC! it barely would even run (200rpm i think lol) but i think this would be due to incorrectly fitting the pump-to-distributor rod... gonna have to (when i get time on the w'end) to remove the pump and re-fit the rod eventually -

pic of wat i can only see -
i cannot remember whilst i was doing my research but if u do this which rack will u use?from what i remember the reason why i say this especially with s13 racks (not sure if r32/luarels are the same) the pinion is off-centered differently to an r31 therefore more difficult to position (maybe modifying/involving swapping more parts involved) hmmm that does make u go ???..... pineapples maybe? im not sure havent came across anyone complaining of this problem b4 whilst researching....
