Tom,
If you already have a dual cylinder setup then you can easily fit a larger
master cylinder from the same family (i.e. Aussie or Japanese) to a 1600,
most Nissan L cylinders are a straight bolt up and you don't need a booster.
A booster is merely a device to give you effective braking with reduced
effort, some say they are a luxury item and some folks like em, some don't.
To fit a booster to a 1600 without cosmetic surgery to the strut tower with
a Mexican screw driver limits you to the small bore Bendix type fitted to
the early 240K (C110), any 180B (610) and some Sunny (A12/A14). These are
good boosters and I would think they are still the most popular in the 1600.
If you use a 180B Japanese (Aussie cylinders are crap IMHO) dual Nabco,
Tokico or Sankyo system with anything from a standard 1600 brake setup to
200B/240K front and R31 rear then you would be advised to use the standard
3/4" or if you really want a very firm peddle then the Sunny 13/16" will
suite. The 13/16" cylinder will also accommodate most dual spot front
callipers fairly well and I'd recommend this cylinder if you choose to go
without a booster.
If you want any more specific info then please let me know what you are
running at the moment, what you do with your Datto (i.e. street, track, dirt
etc) and what you don't like about it as you can appreciate from the brake
discussions in another thread there isn't a quickie single solution to the
perfect Frankenstein brake setup on a 1600 or (any other car for that
matter).
regards
Terry

Listers,
Just a quickie, I want to fit a bigger master cylinder to my 1600. I have a
200b m/c and booster, but was wondering if I can use the m/c alone as I dont
really care about the booster that much. If I have to fit one, is there
something which doesnt need rubber mallet surgery to clear the guard?
Thanks!
- Tom
