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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
