Brakes on RRC

[Camo]

Just wondering if anyone here knows much about brake master cylinders and boosters??

Ive fitted nissan and toyo diffs on my rangie and brakes have never been too flash.. very spongy. The engineer just plugged up one of the outlets because my brakes now only use single lines

so has 2 coming from 1st pump and 1 from 2nd pump

would making a t-piece on second to 1 line do anything?

Has brand new discs and pads allround aswell ;)

Cheers

What the heck? :eek:

You should have split circuits for safety reasons.

I think you need to reinstate the other brake lines as per the original RR set-up.

Nope twin cct calipers on classic RR's, not on Nissan

Use a Y60 (GQ) booster and master cylinder;)

Ahh, of course. Front calipers are twin circuit, rear are single.

I don't have diagrams in front of me and maybe my thinking is wrong -- but.....

Wouldn't the amount of fluid displaced through that line by the master cylinder be only sufficient for one brake caliper? Therefore, would there be enough fluid for two calipers?

Then there is the issue of how much fluid is required for a Nissan calliper vs a LR caliper.

I'm no brake expert so I have no idea. :(

I'm sitting in Devonport waiting for the Spirit of Tas tonight, I got all the time in the world, can't do much driving as I've got a blown head gasket or slipped liner and I've limped it 3/4's the way around Tas already

Just waiting to get home to lift the heads;)

Nah Supercharged 3.9, Classic RR

Picks temp, REAL quick under boost and load, and can't avoid hill's here in Tas:D, Its done from the west coast-right around Hobart and back around devonport with some of the centre, its getting worse, so decided not to risk it anymore:twisted:

Pull the heads tomorrow and see what the go is

Cooling system is good as, cool water from the rad outlet, screaming hot, from the motor:D 4 core rad and big fans helps, thermostat is new (checked in a pot of course)

better start a thread and stop destroying this one:angel:

i think the only way to fix this problem is to intercool it. rrc dont like to be s/c

Mate, just ran straight Nissan, I've never found anyone wanting me to do their Nissan conversion yet, so don't know

Try it, its only bundy tube and a double flareing tool:)

I'd look at the schematics of the braking ct first, but They're in Vic and I isn't:D

Worth a go I guess

I'm grabbing another booster and master cylinder off a 90 model which is working perfect so will use that in the end.. see if that makes a diff. Dosn't take much effort to try
