Re: sunny booster + 7/8ths

[Zac Campbell]

OK thanks for your reply Terry. I went with the r30 m/cyl because it is nice and 'new', 7/8ths, and I thought it was what some of the guys were using (Pete says he is using it anyway). I must have kind of got a little mixed up with the 240k one :(   My main issue now is not the master cylinder at all. It is with the booster fitting! Putting the sunny and the pulsar boosters next to each other, the mounting and everything are identical - the only difference being the front of it where the m/cyl bolts on. I would like to pick your brain on how the Sunny booster fits into a 1600 as the same would apply for this Pulsar one. There are three issues - throttle rod hitting top of booster; booster touching master cylinder; booster touching top of the steering column bracket. The last one particularly makes it not bolt in properly. I experimented with a small spacer (4-5mm) and that should do the trick. You can't use a massive spacer like 180b kiki as there isn't enough thread. The sunny booster I am talking about here looks nothing like the very small 180b one I am sure you are tlaking about, but it is bendix and has a weird word ending with 'kiki' on it! :) Once I can get this booster in there shouldn't be any problems. already bought two boosters and a m/cyl dont really want to have to go out and get another two :(   cheers, zac   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 9:28 PM Subject: RE: sunny booster + 7/8ths Zac,   I'm here mate - I was missing in action last night as I got invited to a piss up over at the club and against my better judgement (like when I woke up this morning) I went for once.   What are you doing? You're in uncharted waters here my friend as I've never looked at the combo you're trying to use.   What I know works on a 1600: Kiki booster and spacer off 510, 610, 710, 120Y, Sunny with Nabco, Tokico or Sankyo 3/4" or 13/16" (preferred) cylinders off the same cars plus 7/8" of 240K and C210 Skyline, caution req'd with the 7/8", make sure that the booster to cylinders rod locator is in it's fitting.   Have you destroyed the Kiki booster completely? so you can take the Pulsar stuff back and get a Sunny 13/16" cylinder?   I just don't know how you are going to get out of this easily. With the brakes that you have I wouldn't use a 3/4" (180B/120Y) as it will be too touchy. Isn't the bolt pattern on a R30 cylinder different to the Sunny cylinder?   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Zac Campbell Sent: Thursday, 7 March 2002 6:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: sunny booster + 7/8ths AARGH I think I am going to explode!!!!! I jsut went and bought ANOTHER booster, this time a N10 pulsar one. it is about the same size as the one I bought yesterday but it has the correct bolt spacing to fit the R30 master cylinder on (actually the n10 and r30 have the same type of nabco cylinder but the n10 is 13/16th and R30 is 7/8th). phew, much relief there, it might actually work. go to fit it onto the datsun - DOH the damn thing hits the clutch master and the linkage rod won't reach over the top of it!!!!!   I saw the tiny little 180b master that Terry talks about but it appears to have the same bolt spacing setup as the sunny booster I destroyed last night. I can see how it could be modified to fit the R30 master cylinder on but this would mean not using the alloy spacer that is on it. then, without that spacer, when the cylinder is bolted on it becomes partially actuated.   terry, where are you, help me!! :)     ----- Original Message ----- From: Zac Campbell To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 9:20 PM Subject: Re: sunny booster + 7/8ths correction - don't cut off the top and bottom bolts because the two side bolts are not long enough to reach through the spacer and mastercylinder alone. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr how did others get this combo to work???     ----- Original Message ----- From: Zac Campbell To: Ozdat Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 8:24 PM Subject: sunny booster + 7/8ths Guys I got a sunny 'kiki' booster today with the intention of fitting it and the R30 skyline master cylinder I scored a while ago. Unfortunately it turns out the 7/8th cylidner does not exactly bolt onto the booster. the top and bottom bolts need to be removed from the booster and the left and right bolt holes on the cylinder need to be elongated to accomodate the studs on the booster. no great deal, I can handle that but it doesn't make it a perfect bolt on unfortunately. I think I would like to keep these bits I have and just perform the light modifications to make it all fit. it's gotta be better than   Also the 200b booster I removed (took about 3 hours, those things should be banned from 1600s) has outlets for 'rear' 'front left' and 'front right' so of course the previous owner modified the brake lines appropriately. now that means they won't bolt onto the skyline 7/8ths. I'm not sure what is required, maybe some type of junction box off the skyline or 180b?   cheers for the advice!   zac --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
