[GReddySTi05]

lol, i have another problem, my suspension (i think) is squeaking, sounds like just the rear, but its loud and it squeaks everytime i hit a bump, it happened before but wasnt loud, and it goes away, i think it happens after i slide

i'm assuming the bmc i got is for a z32, since it's a 1 1/16 (17/16"). i don't think i accidentally got the z31 bmc, since the biggest they come is 15/16, unless i'm mistaken. anyways, my bmc is made by sanyco, and after i removed the allen nut on the middle port i saw it had a fitting. only thing is it's not the same as the other 2 flared fittings. just wondering if i'll have to alter my hardline for this port, or if i can even use this bmc for my brake swap. i've tried searching but haven't found anything. or if i gotta swap out this fitting can i do so withoug destroying the bmc?

hm i believe the only 2 manufacturers that made z32 bmc's are tokico and nabco but it does look like a z32 master.. i think you have to use the stock 240 fitting inside the master cylinder, a lot of guys cut em open to get it.

check this page out:

yeah i've looked at that site a bunch of times...but that guys bmc has nothing in the 3rd port, so it's easy for him to press in that 3rd fitting. my bmc has a fitting but it's more flat than flared. as far as i know, i can't take the fitting i have currently without destroying the whole bmc...i've already got an extra flared fitting in my garage but i don't know if i can use it or if i need it at this point. you can see from my pics how the middle fitting differs from the other 2.

[spooled240]

i think you don't have a z32 bmc lol take that one back and get a tokico/nabico reman'd one

[upsdude]

i don't know if i can i bought it last year lol
and i know asked for a z32 bmc oh well

[spooled240]

where did you buy it? ask if you can see a z32 bmc to "compare" it then when they aren't looking switch it lol FOOOOOOOOOOOOCKET!

[upsdude]

got it from a brake supply shop in montclair-i'm pretty sure it's for a z32 they're the place i got my rebuilt calipers from

Anyone good with relocating the driver side wiring harness for a 13? I will pay monies. Already tried "the stuff it up the fender pass the lip" method and I see more problems in the future. I want to run thru the engine bay cause I can care less. The reason being is I'm getting bigger rims and I already had the wires exposed once when I was drifting on 15s.

[GReddySTi05]

sorry for the interruption i was finally driving on bear valley since a long time and i see 240's everywhere, i saw a stock black zenki with fogs, some girl was driving it, then i saw a black kouki with some gray mesh rims with offset,lowered, led smoked tail lights, and some bald guy was driving it, and at night i saw a white s13 hatch looked like it had a kit and some rims, then a stock brownish gold s13 coupe, and on cottonwood theres someone with a black zenki with 4 lug oldschool bbs mesh type rims black with chrome lip, and stock height, anyone know any of these peoples? i just never seen so many 240's in one day lol

[spooled240]

that bald guy is jerry, i've known him for quite a while since we were the only kouki's that went to cruise night back in the day lol he just recently swapped his autotragic ka for a kouki s14 sr20det

it looks similar but that's the 15/16 bm44. talked to DJ from express brake (he's the one i get alot of my brake stuff from-good guy) and the bmc i have is from the 89-91 300zx. so i probably got the early (first gen?) z32 bmc. can't return it since it was a special order. so i will now go to karps power brake(they rebuild brake boosters) and see if i can just re-flare my hardline to make this all work

[spooled240]

sounds like a PITA id just get another one that only requires the little fitting in the stock 240 bmc

[GReddySTi05]

everytime i see a kouki i want one, but i like my car too

[spooled240]

all you gotta do is swap the front

[GReddySTi05]

lol if my car was black or white i would, i dont like green kouki's

[spooled240]

with the right aero I think you can pull it off

[upsdude]

josh is biased towards koukis

[90white240]

The other day I saw alot of 240s too, I was like is there a meet or something lol. I drive a whtie s13 with wheels??? Where on bear valley wher you?^^^

[locoluna825]

Yea there has been alot of 240s since school started up. There was this awsome looking red coupe the other day that pulled into vvc. Had a cage in it, dropped, rims. Looked real good.

edit: K POWER!

[upsdude]

lol i've grown to like both front ends...but i've noticed most kouki's go for the jdm k's aero, and majority of zenkis are on version select v.1 kits.

[spooled240]

i know dude, it kinda sucks that everyone's doing it now..when i got my bumpers back in the day I paid 400 for the front and 350 for the rear.. now you can get em at a dealership for 220 so half of the kouki's you see have at least the jdm front bumper..it's still somewhat rare to see full k's aero with the optional valances and k's lip

[spooled240]

[upsdude]
