Have you ever seen alooy 4spots from a 300zx/GTST skyline on a set of 240k
struts?
On a 1600 of course?
A guy here in Canberra is running them on his race car. I was gonna copy
the design but alas my calipers are 30mm as opposed to his 25mm. I need a
different rotor etc
Anyway i was wondering what sort of cylinder you think would suit these as
fronts along with r31 rears?
Also do you know of a 14inch or 15inch rim with a good offset, i.e raised
centre to suit wider calipers such as these.
lastly the blue fj20 1600 you mentioned,......is that the ones with gold
rims featured in fast fours?
cheers

Andrew,
The
correct size cylinder depends on what brake components you are using
and
it is fairly uniform across all 1600 models - boosted and
un-boosted
doesn't/shouldn't affect brake performance or efficiency as
such, only
driving ease etc. Pad quality/compound makes a massive
difference as well.
I'll give you some common known good combinations to
help you choose the
correct master cylinder for your 1600. These examples
are only to be used as
a guide based upon data I've collected on this
subject over a number of
years. I've driven 1600's with most if not all
of these combinations and in
the main they were all quite acceptable
performance wise and all except the
180SX example weren't all that
expensive either. The 180SX/R31 combo was
brilliant and is in a well
known Blue 1600/FJ20ET here in Canberra.
stock discs/drums - 3/4"
Tokico or (13/16"! Nabco, must use prop valve or at
least use 1200 rw
cyl)
200B disc/drums or R31 discs - 13/16" Nabco or Tokico boosted,
must use prop
valve with drums, optional with R31, Nabco is the best
cylinder.
240K twin spot/drums or R31 disc - 13/16" or 7/8" boosted
and/or un-boosted
(must use prop valve with drums, optional with R31,
doesn't seem to be a lot
of difference between Nabco or Tokico in
7/8")
Audi 90 ventilated/R31 - 13/16" boosted
180SX twin spot
ventilated/R31 disc - 7/8" un-boosted (must use prop
valve)
Mitsubishi ventilated, VL Turbo callipers/R31 - 13/16" or 7/8"
boosted (prop
valve optional)
Holden ventilated with Volvo 4
spot/Volvo with Volvo 2 spot - 7/8"
un-boosted (this one was mine, FJ20ET
Sport Sedan (083) that was a Group G
rally beater when the brakes were
done, you never see this combo around
these days but I threw it in
anyway)
regards
Terry

Hi
Terry,
Im thinking of getting a few master cylinder sizes from the
wrecker
and trialling them out to find the "best" one - which couple of
sizes
would you suggest I should pick
up?
Thanks
Andrew
