Hi all,

I'm in need of a replacement brake booster for my 1975 240K (C110). Any experiences with suitable bolt on replacements? Is the C210 unit an option? I've had one dud 240K unit already from a wreckers, seemed OK but once in place ....same syptoms! touch the pedal and air can be heard being drawn in (this is inside the car) and the idle goes way off, just like it has a vacuum leak! (funny that :( )

So, if you have a lead on a good booster or a suitable replacement please speak up :mellow:

Jim.

have you tried buying a new diaphram ?

Can you get a pic up?

i have a reco 15/16 i'll be useing (its on the way)

but i have 2 leaking RMR30 ones, might be able to piece them together to make a non-leaking one. im hopefully keeping one as spare, but will let you know what happens.

or

just get the leak fixed at a brake shop, not a full rebuild!

Thanks Mag86. You sure you're not talking about master cylinders? I'm in need of the vacuum booster (big round black bugger!) unit that the master cylinder attaches to.

To fix the vacuum leak in the booster means opening it up....not too hard if you have the tools. Once open you might as well replace all rubber bits anyway! If I get a chance I'll post a pic or two of the offending unit :)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
