Ok guys I figured I would share this trick I just discoverd today in hopes to get my rep back with zilvia. Anyways I bought the cheapest top mount t3 flanged header I could find on e bizzle, big suprize lol I had fitting issues like my gt35-r was rubbing my brake lines on the master cylinder. So insted of cutting and re-welding or breaking down and buying a good manifold like I should have done I did some thinking and while looking at my crx I noticed the lines on that master cylinder were on the oppisite side. So I went to advanced and looked at all the nissan master cylinders and noticed that a 1990 pathfinder w/4 wheel disk brakes fits very nicely , so I swapped them out bent the brake lines VERY CARFULLY!!!! and it worked like a charm and gave me a extra 2 inches of clearence, which was just what I needed. As far as I know I'm the frst to do this so I hope this will help somebody else.

the BMC have the same braking ratio?

That trick has been mentioned years ago on freshalloy. That and running a rhd s13 brake master. Personaly i went through the same problem and the way i solved this was kicking my self in the ass for being cheap then i bought a manifold that doesnt place the turbo pretty much on top of the brake master.
