hi cassbo

some wag suggested maybe your firewall has flexed a loooong way on previous track days hence the closeness of the fit.

i would make sure you give a bit of a tighten up and check it regularly for the first few weeks in case there is any truth to this rumour and the firewall moves back a bit. :banana:

is there any method to setting these things up? you don't need one person in the car and one person installing do you??

Just remove the plastic bits covering the recessed holes on the strut tower, attach the plate, put in the bolts and tighten, screw in the bolt against the master cylinder with the flange on the end. After driving check the bolts again later if they need further tightening. Based on what I've read on other forums in regards to brake stopper installation.

My main question is how tight to press up against the master cylinder? even when tightening the big bolt all the way there's a tiny bit of play between then MC and the bolt flange. Should this be pressed right up against the MC?

I've noticed the difference under heavier braking. At the moment my brakes have been quite soft (almost having to put pedal to floor sometimes, it's booked in for new rotors n pads this week and a check of the braking system) but meanwhile this master cylinder has given more confidence with braking the way that it currently is.

If you open the bonnet, put one foot in the car pressing down on the brake (with the car on) and have a look at the movement of the master cylinder you can see how much flex there is. I was quite suprised with mine actually.

almost out of stock until the next lot are made which is approximately 4-6weeks. there may be only one or two left.

    • So, they admitted via message that they accidentally sent me a non Hella product. Then, hilariously, out of nowhere I get questioned about the legitimacy of my BMW intercooler for sale. This is the first *ever* enquiry in over 18 months. WIthin 8 mins of me telling "Total Engines" that I'd be reporting them for selling knock off's.
    • I don't know what it is supposed to look like, but I'd suggest confirming with Hella whether it is genuine. Some of the photos online do show parts with a Hella stamp on them. This looks sus.
    • Couldn't help but share the pics of my $350 "Hella" oil level sensor that arrived from totalengines via eBay today. It's like they're not even trying anymore ... And I think that's sad. 
    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
