hi all. just wondering if theres a master that doesnt have a built in proportioning valve in it.

basicly i need to let more pressure go to the rears.

ive aftermarket calipers front and rear. and the front is working to hard. i want to instal a hydrolic bias valve instead of the factory one. to evan out the brakes.

any info apreciated. cheeres

thats right

sweet. thanks guys. yeah theres an alloy cap over it. i thought it was a press in plug. but as i was drilling it it fell off and revieled an 8mm hex screw :whistling:

but it will have to wait while i get new front discs again! i thermaly shocked them. big massive crack down one of them from over heating. uber gay!!!

so some nice alcons are going in. and lol i dont know where id be with out my weekend job at autobarn. coz this is turning quite expencive :P

cool. quick update. the valve is removable but... with no valve there fluid pisses out the tiny little breather hole thats inbetween the outlets. ive got a s15 master that im gonna chop in half to see whats going on inside lol.

Front brakes working too hard ? I think that equates to rears not working hard enough .

When I was researching master cylinders for Skylines I did read that rear line proportioning valves were set differently for Z32's and 240 SX's . It may pay you to find out what our spec S14's and S15's are using and maybe substitute one of theirs . I did see somewhere that some S15's had a 1" BMC (should have BM57 stamped on the blind end) so if its bias is different (one would imagine an S15 would have substantially different front/rear weight balance) it may be the solution .

Cheers A .

Another update , whilst ratting 1st Gen Liberty bits for the RX I found that they use a Nabco 1" BMC with either 4 or 3 outlets and they appear to be a single cylinder body ie no proportioning valve . There are also available plugs so that any unused BMC outlets can be sealed safely . In the app I'm using cars could have 3 or 4 outlets so I went 4 to cover all the bases .

These Liberty BMC's have outlets facing down and towards the offside of the bay so the horizontal ones would be the ones to plug for a two line Nissan ABS type car .

I can't be totally certain these interchange with Skyline BMS's at the booster but the mounting system looks identical .

Cheers A .

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
