so the foot brake works like normale, just takes the long way around though the hand brake.

And that works with no other problems.

The car I drove with hydro HB the foot pedal would drop when you go on the HB, never actaully needed both at the same time though so it was OK whistling.gif

Any drop in the foot brake with using the Hand brake ?

Isn't that what I just said?

When you use the HB, the pedal would drop.

I'm not sure if all setups do this or if it was just this dodgy brothers one.

I use the stock HB in my drifter, works fine.

This can happen. The typical setup isn't ideal, as the hyd steering stick interrupts the normal rear brake circuit. Not really a problem as plenty of rally cars have it set up like this. If you're worried about it, a more elegant (although slightly heavier) solution is to mount a second pair of small calipers onto your rear brakes, plumbed into a completely separate circuit. It adds a little weight (specially unsprung) but keeps the brake circuit intact, and there's less chance of bias issues etc.

    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
