300zx brake booster is too big if you run an SR.

I have a stock one for sale however…

if it dosen’t move I don’t think that will help.

If you’ve got Z32 brakes at all corners you’ll want the Z32 Master cylinder.

Brake booster you can use S13, w/ABS is a little larger,

what is the condition of the booster like on the outside?

Can we get a count here.

Who else would like me to break Ahmed’s other arm. And then steal his car and Z brakes?

It’s been a peaceful time on the boards lately.

lol im a big man 🙂 after i repair myself! more hand breaking tto come!

this sucks, im a vegetable for 4-6weeks haha

no bball, no martial arts (although the cast is like a weapon haha), no driving, no regular msn (phone is busy now instead), no right hand, no lots of stuff 😛

but im getting quite good at doing stuff with my left hand 😛 holding and handling manipulating with left much better. lol im typing all this relatively fast all with left hand hehe.

thena gain this injury can be viewed as a blessing too. my DORIFTO hand is gona be real good. :shock: watch outt!

But ill sneak out for a drive or two… no one shall know hehe.

What I do know is this puppy handles real well now! Stable in the corners, firm steering and nimble light. i wasnt driving but in passeneger seat and saw it from outside bein driven too.

In both cases the car was flat and stable in corners which was sweet.

PS - I had a dispute, got angry and smashed a table lol… im self controlled very chilled that i wouldnt harm a butterfly, but dont get on ma bad side :oops: :twisted:

now the cast countdown begins for me…
