    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    Yes, there is a pin. I believe this pin is for adjusting it right to the booster. If I even just touch the pedal it starts to brake so I don't think that is issue. I have had E3 pads on some of my vehicles. Actually have them on the RSX right now. Amazing pads. It actually doesn't firm up the...

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    The issue is that no one makes a master cylinder with a larger bore than 1 1/8" for any car I know of. Do you know of one?

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    Are bolt hole distances on MCs standardized? I think getting the correct diameter of the MC to fit into the booster is going to be hard. Unless that is standardized as well

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    So I have a few options then and would like your opinion 1: deal with it as is 2: get more agressive pads. Less modulation but less travel, however, the pedal will remain light like it is now so it may just become very difficult to modulate 3: figure out how to fit an MC from a truck. I am a...

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    Motorcycle or bicycle? I know there is a master cylinder piston adjustment but I think it is good. If you jsut barely touch the pedal it begins to brake. It's jsut it travels multiple inches to get to full power. And by full power I mean 120 mph slamming on the brakes right just before ABS kicks in

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    Actually no. The track car has high temp fluid and the other two have Prestone DOT 4

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    I do understand this but there is no upgraded MC for these cars. Stock is a 1 1/16. I cns get a 1 1/8 but that's going to be hardly an different. Ideally I would have a 1.5 or even 2 but I know of nothing that has that size outside of an International truck

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    The reason is heel toe. I need to be able to press press the brake and gas at the same time on track. So if the pedal goes further down the the gas I cannot do this. Right now I have tons of shims behind a race pedal attached to the brake pedla to move it back. But it's quite high up and a bit...

    Is this rotor actually mill balanced?

    Thank you. This is what I thought may have happened but was not sure

    Brake Pedal Travel - What is normal?

    I have three cars. One of them is a track car. I have bled the brakes multiple times on all of them. On the track car when I slam the brakes on the circuit I need to push the pedal sooooo far. I noticed its the same way on the van and the RSX. To my understanding I thought a brake pedal should...

    Is this rotor actually mill balanced?

    Usually when I get rotors you can see on the outside edge a milling mark where they have balanced the rotor. I do not see any milling done on this rotor yet Raybestos claims these are mill balanced. All I see is this little nub which looks cast. Is there another way to mill balance a rotor that...

    Differential Temp Probe Conundrum

    It just comes out as a gummed up "glue" now. I slapped an OS Giken 100% lock LSD in there so intilaly then ring and pinion had to mate up again. Changed it after 500 miles and then again after 3000. It had quite a bit on there after those two. Last year there wasn't too much on there. But...

    Differential Temp Probe Conundrum

    Any misgivings about this being mounted horizontally instead of vertically? In terms of strength that is. It is OEM so I assume that magnet is stuck in there pretty good

    Differential Temp Probe Conundrum

    It's an 07 350Z I mostly take the track but it's still street legal. I was thinking #2 would work just fine. Plus I change the fluid before every season. I could always run it for a year and check the fill plug to see what it has picked up. I also assume it gets sloshed side to side quite a...

    Differential Temp Probe Conundrum

    Alright I've got an interesting one for ya'll I want to keep an eye on my differential fluid Temps at the track. I've got a guage all wired up and I just need to install the probe. I have this fancy diff cover shown in the pics. As you cna see it's TIGHT in there. Cover a not come off without...

    Powerstop Vs Nuegon brembo calipers?

    LOL, I actually sprung for the fronts of those. The front 2 piece akebono is what I'm running with the porsche calipers. 10 lbs of unsprung rotational weight per corner was too much of a performance hit for the BBK. Had to spend it there

    Powerstop Vs Nuegon brembo calipers?

    Considered that. Piston size is only 1mm larger. That sort of piston diameter difference can be made up for with a slightly higher Mu pad. The rear rotor on the akebono adds about 6 pounds of unsprung, rotational mass which is not something I want to do. That rotor has thinner cooling vanes in...

    Powerstop Vs Nuegon brembo calipers?

    Yes, the calipers were not great. This is why I went to the monoblock 18Z caliper sin the front. I would cook the OEM brembos and burn through pads to the point where it was eating through my track budget. One of my good friends has the rear calipers form a Porsche cayenne turbo s fitting to...

    Powerstop Vs Nuegon brembo calipers?

    Yes I am quite familiar with fixing caliper seats and the bleeder screws. For whatever reason my normal fixes for that are not working at all. What method do you use to repair the bleeder seat of aluminum calipers?
