Brake Booster

[Adz2332]

My Cousin just bought a R33 series 1 skyline

We were looking over it and found something screwed onto the break booster.

We contacted the seller to see what it was and he said it was fitted in Japan, but what he was told it did was...

That when you break hard without out it on at high speeds the R33 can get a shudder through it. And the cause of this is movement through the break booster. So what this does is sucures the breakbooster and stops it moving or shaking even under heavy load.

Has any one ever heard of this???

Sounds like a "stopper" to prevent the firewall flexing forward under heavy braking pressure.

Pic would be useful to confirm or deny my guess.

Does it look like this by any chance?

This is on a supra though.

Yeah, they can come with different setups, but they all do the same thing as far as I'm aware. People put it on because when the car is under hard braking, the firewall can flex quite a lot.

The one you should get is the ~$70 one I think. The ~$50 one is for a GTR (BCNR33).

they are great. the firewall flexes a frightening amount when you hit the pedal hard

Yeah one of the best, cheapest mods you'll ever do to your brakes. They should be standard on all cars

I think they're standard on the commodores. Well there's one on my brother's vt and I don't think it was aftermarket.

I never realised how much stopper helps. Sounds like it's a good mod.
