All master cylinders in use on Nissans are about the same length.

Get a new manifold made for LHD cars. They all get really close to the BMC anyway, most of these things were made with the JDM engine bay in mind, you realize...

Hey, do you know anyone who needs a new CA clutch?

even if i could get one a couple mm shorter it would be ok thank you for any input i appreciate it . and no i dont know ne one what type of clutch and price any ways?

It doesn't work that way. The correct size BMC for your car is matched operationally with your calipers, is doesn't have a "length" option. lol

See, you're going about it the wrong way... You need a manifold made for an American car, not one for where people drive on the right side, understand? You said "Don't say I need a new turbo", so I'm going along with your conditions here and telling you what you need to make it all work!

About the clutch, I just have one laying around I can't get rid of, $200. It's a SPEC Stage 2 brand new. Sorry for threadjacking.

Yea I understand that the brake master is proportioned for my vehicle but i knw alot of people use 300zx is that a tiny bit shorter? I would love to buy a nice manifold where my turbo sits up front behind the headlight unfortunanetly nobody makes one and i am stuck wit the garbage on ebay that crack i know this i would def be willing to buy a good manifold. what bout a thinner brake booster is that a possible solution ?

you can shim the motor mount on the driver side to tilt the motor a little bit to the passenger side. Just make sure you use something hard like some big washers or something

I can testify that is is exactly the same length if not a little longer as I can use the same equipment that a 240 uses in that regard.

That's just silly. Bad design.

I don't think so.

Also, some eBay manifolds are not bad if just take the time to de-burr the inside of the tubing and modify some of the mounting area to make it easier to install. You pay, what... $150 for a nice eBay manifold from XS Power or whatnot these days? Probably not even...

Sounds like you should really get around the CA forum a lot more, really...

I have gone through three ebay manifolds already one of which cracked with in a week . Im not sayin somebody will get lucky and get one that does not crack. But i have yet to see that . And I rather go the the extra mile if i could and buy a nice manifold if it were availble from say afi turbo or full race they will make horse power and never have to worry again about cracking but until than im stuck. Thats a very good idea about turning the motor a little though definetly.

if you dont care about it being not equal length get a log mani or go back to the stock one

[Dattebayo]

Just a thought, are you using the KA mounts or the stock CA18 motor mounts?

[Rev_D21]

How many threads are you going to start asking the same question?

[Dattebayo]

Yeah, wtf? Four threads in 4 forums? Isn't there some kind of site rule about multiple threads?
