hi cassbo

some wag suggested maybe your firewall has flexed a loooong way on previous track days hence the closeness of the fit.

i would make sure you give a bit of a tighten up and check it regularly for the first few weeks in case there is any truth to this rumour and the firewall moves back a bit. :banana:

Just remove the plastic bits covering the recessed holes on the strut tower, attach the plate, put in the bolts and tighten, screw in the bolt against the master cylinder with the flange on the end. After driving check the bolts again later if they need further tightening. Based on what I've read on other forums in regards to brake stopper installation.

My main question is how tight to press up against the master cylinder? even when tightening the big bolt all the way there's a tiny bit of play between then MC and the bolt flange. Should this be pressed right up against the MC?

I've noticed the difference under heavier braking. At the moment my brakes have been quite soft (almost having to put pedal to floor sometimes, it's booked in for new rotors n pads this week and a check of the braking system) but meanwhile this master cylinder has given more confidence with braking the way that it currently is.

If you open the bonnet, put one foot in the car pressing down on the brake (with the car on) and have a look at the movement of the master cylinder you can see how much flex there is. I was quite suprised with mine actually.

      I think for the sake of hopefully avoiding too much harassment when I import it back to the states and then depending on what state I end up in that staying twins is the way to go.  I'm in the military, so I could end up in some nanny state that gives me grief.

      Hi everyone, just letting you know that these parts are in great condition, came off a registered and driving car. I just upgraded to Brembos. Thanks 😊

      A Reminder To Check Your Radiator Fan For Cracks And Stress Fractures

      By tridentt150v · Posted

      Not on a Skyline, but on my "who gives a fk" 4wd, I found said cracks so used a CA glue and filler [ok superglue and baking powder but maybe fancier, who knows]. Fan was still going fine many years later when I sold it, inspected when I replaced the HB and it was all still together then, was actually impressed with my cheap arsed fix :), wasn't sure it would last that long, but it was fine.

      A Reminder To Check Your Radiator Fan For Cracks And Stress Fractures

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have seen the aftermath of a rotten old stock fan. It took apart the shroud, wrecked some other stuff (PS or A/C, IIRC) and damaged the bonnet. Not ideal. Sometimes they die more gracefully. Sometimes they live for years and years looking like they should come apart. The GKTech fan is not different to how it ever was. At least as far as I know. Whether it is any good or not is more a question of what climate you're using it in. In Canuckistan it seldom gets hot enough for the capability of the fan to matter as much as it does here in Fourex. So you should be able to use it without too much concern. You can always sell it to a driftkid in an S14 if you don't like it.

      I noticed a few cracks in my fan today, which lead me to this post. Has anyone actually seen a fan explode? Is the GKTech replacement still no bueno?
