Im going pedal box so i'll choose my own masters for the calipers i have.

Pretty sure its something to do with vacume. Theres only a few bolts holding them on so see if you can borrow one off a GTR to see if it does anything.

Luke, what does this thing do? You said it's a separator, so it separates vacuum? air? from what?

And I don't think it would feel any less spongy with this thing on.

Boz22n, what diameter BMC did you end up using? What bias adjuster? Ever had any troubles with adjustment range being insufficient, i.e. too much/not enough front/rear bias?

I think it is a 1"1/16 ? the bias is great the prob with the GTR master is the proportion is out for a GTST F/R weights etc.

Bm57 didnt change it one single bit :(

The thing on the left is the thing i didnt have which i think may fix it if i did keep them.

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!

borrowed this off a mates 33gtr today and plugged into my stock BM40. with the lines it comes with as you still need the one way valve , pedal feel was fantastic, a huge improvement, even with stock master

now too get my own

It doesn't. But I think he meant proportioning valve that is built into master cyliner on GTRs, has wrong bias for weight distibution of a RWD skyline. 

Patrol has no integrated bias adjuster in its BMC, so external adjuster is necessary.

I found this "vacuum can" in FAST. It's called "tank-assembly vacuum" in there and has a partnumber 47110-24U01. Must be inexpensive, so if it really improves pedal feel, it may be worth spending a couple of $ on.

How does the size of the master cylinder effect bias?

Only guessing here but I would say the diameter has nothing to do with it but if you pull one apart you will see there are two pistons inside and i would guess its the relative travel of those pistons and perhaps the size of the apertures that makes the difference. My car is not quite running yet but I don't expect any problems in my heavy Stagea. Relative size of brakes also makes a difference - whether you are just putting big brakes on the front and by how much you are beefing up the rears.

Ah ok so it's integrated rather than the GTST one which screws in?

It is integrated  in that the BMC body is cast with provision for the integrated prop valve. But the valve internals themselves are then screwed in. Attached are pics of disassembled BM44 prop valve.

BMCs with no integrated valve, like on Patrol and Pathfinder have no valve body cast with them, as seen on the third attached pic.

Actually, I would suppose that other than piston diameter and bias-controlling spring GTR BMC is identical to GTST and GTS BMC.

i would guess its the relative travel of those pistons and perhaps the size of the apertures that makes the difference

Since on tandem master cylinders like ours both pistons are attached to the same rod and has same travel for a given pedal input, I'd say it is only piston size that may be different

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
