Clutch Master Cylinder Booster Delete

Hey guys. First post.

I've done a lot of reading and checking on pretty much every forum I can find, and I have yet to stumble across anyone who has completely gotten rid of the clutch vac booster.

Plenty of people running without her hooked up, but no one has bothered to delete the booster altogether and replace the master.

The idea is to delete the booster, install an after market clutch master with a remote res fitting, and use the brake master res to feed the clutch.

That would tuck that clutch master into the firewall, and eliminate the res.

Just wondering if anyone has any info whatsoever, or am I going to be the first to adapt a 300zx TT (or GTST) Clutch slave to remote type non-boosted?

Would seem like it would be no real problem to mount a RWD car's clutch master onto the firewall.  In fact, if I do recall, it's not that long since this was last discussed on this very forum.  Some better searching will probably yield results.  The changes are likely to be needing to drill different holes in the firewall, needing a different length clutch rod, needing to change the clutch hard pipe or replace with braided line.

The benefit of getting rid of the reservoir would seem to me to be nil, and far more hassle and mess than it's worth.  What were you planning to do?  Drill a hole in the side of the brake master's reservoir, poke in a bit of hose, hot melt glue it in place and stick the other end into the top of the clutch master with some bubble gum?  I can't think of an elegant way to do it.

Yuh....but how are you going to connect that to the inlet on the clutch master where the reservoir gets ripped off?


The idea would be to find a Wilwood master that has a threaded insert in place of the res.... then I can just tap that.

Go to page 11 if the link doesn't take you straight there. I haven driven with it yet so can't comment on how well it works. 


Which master cylinder are you using with that, and where did you buy the adaptor from? I can't find it

I'm pretty sure it's just a GTS-T master cylinder.  If you read my post later on there is some chat about a forum member (from NZ) that makes them.  You can send him a PM or search for Garage 101 (Perth) on Facebook.  That's where I got mine.  They send theirs with a master cylinder.

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
