1. Does anyone know a part number / vehicle that I can get a 1" master cylinder off that fits the R30 booster?

Update: Number 1 is not an issue anymore. After a bit of work with some vernier calipers, it appeared that the Patrol master cylinder (which wasn't supposed to fit) may actually work. I took a spare brake booster back to my friendly brake specialist and checked. Bugger me, it fits! It is snug, but with a small adjustment to the actuating rod (which is adjustable) we will have a goer. The only issue is that one of the brake line outlets on the master cylinder is in a different spot, coming out the front rather than the side. Not a real issue as I am putting the new brake lines in it.

So, anyone got those rear brakes?

Cheers,

Matt

Matt,

Before you go jumping in buying the Patrol master cylinder, may I suggest you take a sample of the old 7/8 master cylinder to your friendly old brake parts place and he look up his picture referrence, because a TOKIKO brand 1" master cylinder is available in this country, exactly the same configuration as your standard 7/8 version.

The parts list only shows the 7/8 number, but as I said, take your old to the parts house and theyt will have a picture and cross referrence for the 1" version. I have asked one of my local brake specialists to help us out with a part number for you, but as yet have not got an answer.

As for rear callipers, you just gunna have to source them, as they are becomming a bit like "Rocking Horse Sh!t" extremely difficult to find, but .............. in my usual style I have been able to locate a complete rear end minus the diff & drive shafts (half shafts) that's rear cross member, trailing arms, hubs and brakes and am waiting for a price.

If your interested maybe you might want to PM me for this information.

Cheers,

Dennis

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
