Silver Styler Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Awesome work again Terry! looking forward to having you over mine for some welding action. Matt awesome car! so much inspritation for mine.
LittleRedSpirit Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) any updates on your car Matt? Not much, just have all 4 wheels on now, went for a long highway blast with them on Sunday. Went great, no scrubs with 15x8 neg offset even on highway bumps. The throttle cable has been replaced. Might look into doing some more tuning soon. Ill get Rob Novak to reassess the situation, theres a little fuel smoke here and there, especially off the line. Nothing drastic, economy is still 400klms to a tank, when i first got it going it was around 380 but have made a lot of adjustments to things. Looks a bit ghetto with a bit of primer on the front gaurds. I looked at another ae71 for sale over the weekend with a near perfect body but they wanted a small fortune for it so I passed on that one. It was auto anyhow. Edited July 19, 2010 by LittleRedSpirit

TRD ke70 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 Here's those pic's i promised Matt. I know the cylinder sizes are important other wise the pedal will be like rock hard. I think Tony used 5/8 or 9/16th cylinders, the smaller the better.
fusion Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 Is it wrong that I admire you like a E7 hero of some kind? :laff: Love your work as always Matt

It looks like the twin masters line up roughly with the 4 bolt holes that used to attach the booster. Looks like you adapted the balance bar idea to the standard pedal more or less. Id really like to come over and have a look in the flesh very soon if thats ok. those are some seriously nice rims Cheers, Mate. Is it wrong that I admire you like a E7 hero of some kind? :) Love your work as always Matt Thanks Ross, just keeping the faith. I had 2 packages arrive today, both with overrated sets of badges from the US of A. I'm gonna give Timmy a pair of 1.8 badges for his 7age track car build that will be spare. Ill have a spare SR-5 badge if anyone is keen aswell.

I thought it was the other way around, larger diameter = more fluid displaced with less travel opposed to a small diameter, It is like having 2 identicle engines with the same stroke but one with a bigger bore, the bigger bore will make more torque, I think we used 3/4 cylinders on the skyline for this reason.

Yes but the bigger bore master cylinder will take more effort to move and not have to move as far to displace enough fluid, the smaller cylinder will be easier to move as it displaces less per given distance. Short answer is more feel I guess, as the stock size is a bit large a piston to use without a booster I'm guessing. Thats my rationale anyhow, Id like to hear Chris and Tonys input too.
