This time, we are going to replace the master cyl and the brake lines. Considering the unknown state of the master cyl, decided to replace it rather than overhauling it. Thank you to continuous support from Goodridge for the custom made brake lines using the NSXCB special parts no.. Details are covered in here; ...
Before installing the master cyl, had to spend extra time cleaning the brake pipe fittings as they were all rusty and corroded. This process is a ‘MUST’ if you are installing the Goodridge brake line as their mating coupler uses almost all of the thread on the OEM pipe fitting. Fitting is made from soft material so need to be careful during the cleaning process. Again, mark ...

As mentioned a while ago, instead of cleaning and overhauling the heavily leaked/corroded master cyl, decided to replace it with new one including the reservoir, filter, cap and the fluid level sensor. Time to check the pushrod clearance while keeping the vacuum at specific rate. It is ...
