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?

      Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By zique · Posted

      Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
