Brake Booster upgrade for B310

Post by blitzballa »

Just wondering if anyone knows of any booster upgrades for a B310? Ideally looking for a smaller booster so I can squeeze in another master next to the booster for my hydro clutch.

Nothing is wrong with it was just wondering if there was an easy enough booster upgrade to do that resulted in having a smaller booster similar to what maddat sell in size. Will try mounting my hydro anyway with the current one but just wondered if there was an easier way.

Would a remote reservoir make it easier, I am unsure of the size but P10, 11 Primera have a tidy wee one.

Yea I had thought of that may go down that route. I'm gonna keep the booster anyway after some more measuring up should be ok but a bit of modding to do. Does anyone know if a 240Z Brake master would fit on a B310 booster? I know 280ZX ones do.

I could measure for you if need be. What are the measurements you need?

My Sunny looks to have a 60mm hole to hole for the joining face and a 32mm OD that tapers out for where the master goes in to the booster.

I managed to squeeze a 510 clutch slave in beside the booster on a sunny.
I reused one of the two studs that tie the pedal box to the firewall to mount it. (Well, ground the stud off and fitted a longer one)
