Hey I just purchased a cusco brake cyclinder stopper and yes i know it's simple to fit but I'm wondering what is the point of the nut in between the brake cylinder and the stopper? and how tight do I tighten up the bolt? I don't want to go damaging anything. I've attached the instructions that came with it. Thanks guys!post-52764-0-21384600-1308905805_thumb.jpg

Here is a translation for the installation instructions numbered 1 to 5. I am not not sure what they are talking about in step one so I put a few translation options in - should be a lot easier to tell what they are when you look at the car. I take no responsibility for these translations being correct or any damage you may do blah blah blah. Hopefully another poster can confirm them too. If you need any other parts of the sheet translated let me know.

1) Disassemble the mekura/blind plugs/bolts/corks/bungs/stoppers in front of the master cylinder (there are two on the fender).

2) Slightly tighten the BCS body using the two M6x16 bolts.

3) Put the locknut in the BCS body's welded nut and slightly tighten the adjustment/modification bolt.

4) Affix the adjustment/modification bolt and the pointed end collar (shown as 先端カラー in the picture) to the brake master cylinder and then tighten the adjustment/modification bolt .

5) Properly tighten all slightly tightened bolts.

whats the point of a brake stopper?

It is a bracket that is mounted on the strut tower with a screw that presses against the master cylinder. This stops the master cylinder from flexing the firewall under hard braking. It gives a firmer/more responsive brake pedal feel.

As a point of interest VLs have pretty much the same thing fitted as standard (they have a bracket bolted from the strut tower to the master cylinder). Refer to the pic below. I miss my wagz :(

ohhhhhhhh

sounds like something you would only need when on the track

not really. Go get someone to press on you brake pedal and watch the firewall flex. Does it every time you hit the pedal.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
