11/16 Inch Or 17 Mm Bore Clutch Master Cylinders?

What are you trying to achieve?

That would possibly push the pushrod out of the slave cylinder

i think he may mean slave cylinder anyway Dan. The 'offset bolt holes' bit did it for me.

I have a Tractive sequential gearbox that I have fitted with a concentric push type clutch release bearing assembly. Whilst the stock 5/8 bore clutch MC releases it you need ALL available pedal travel. An 11/16 cylinder would give more bearing travel, and I can run a pedal stop if required. The pedal is currently light enough to press with your index finger against a Giken triple plate clutch, so a bit more pedal effort won't matter :thumbsup: By offset holes in the MC I meant they aren't vertical or horizontal, but displaced to about 45 degrees from the vertical. I could probably use an AP or Tilton short cylinder, but was wondering if Nissan did a different bore in the stock casting. Thanks for the reply.

ahh yes i have benn following this on the uk site. Id take it to a specialised brake manufacturer and have it bored with a larger piston fitted. A friend of mine did this when he was using a Nismo slave cylinder.

Just found this, I'll grab the drawings off AP tomorrow and see if it'll fit easily. Will be cheaper than boring and honing mine, and finding a suitable piston assembly I think. Cheers. http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?...+Type_2390_2389

Sorry, bit off topic but I have fitted an OS Giken triple in an RB25 box with Nismo slave & a smaller (than standard Nissan) thrust & have a really wierd pedal feel. There is a thread on here somewhere about it... Pedal is soft as until just before hitting the floor & then gets quite firm. Hard to explain but not nicest pedal feel... Is this the sort of reason your mate fitted a larger bore master cylinder? Basically after a standard(ish) pedal feel with the triple plate. Thought Nismo slave & this thrust would do it but apparently not...

I work on single seater and sport prototype race cars for a living and this problem sounds absolutely typical of a release bearing of either the wrong diameter, or the wrong nose shape. If the bearing presses on the incorrect part of the diaphragm fingers the geo goes all to pot, and a very strange over centre action occurs. It gives a funny pedal feel, and can even damage the diaphragm itself. The bearing should be contacting the fingers within 1/6 inch of their tips, and be round nosed, not flat. I'd pull the box and have a look. Did Giken supply the bearing?

      Hard to find reliable dyno results that help my selection   Thinking G30- 660 twin scroll 1.06   Problem is my current setup isn't imo terrible. This is the genuine flog it at the track tune so there is a few kws in it but pulled for track safety   Non VCT RB25DE home built and has baby 256 Poncams, 60mm throttle body. 90mm exhaust and decent ARC cooler with Emtron KV8 Would like to break 400rwkws on 20psi and want a bit more through the 4,000rpm range. New setup needs to beat attached dyno

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Hey y'all, had some bad ball joints in my tie rods, so figured i'd just replace both inners and outers.  Went with the high-misalignment system from GKTech. My car's lowered so figured why not. M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod High misalignment S13 240sx/S14/S15/Skyline tie rod ends (12mm/14mm) Welp, took over a week to get the job done, but finally did. Took it on the maiden voyage today and... - The OE boots do not sit properly on the new inner tie rods - If you look at the photo in the link above, new ITRs are basically threaded all the way through the length of them, so best I could do was tighten the boot down with a screw-down hose clamp onto the ITR's threads. - There is a "whoosh"ing sound every time I turn the steering, seems like it could be coming from the air moving into/out of boots. Concerning, bc it'll likely pull in nasty shit from the outside when I turn... namely thinking of moisture. - Looking at the rack from the back of the car, under it, the left tie rod is straighter than the right. Right droops down a bit. - My alignment is way outta wack, that's expected. Taking it to get an alignment as soon as I can. - The big thing is that the steering isn't really "springing" back like it used to. Wondering if there's something tied to pressurization of the system that I managed to f**k up. This was supposed to be a 20 min job... why doesn't anything ever go right with these cars?
