Help with brake booster
 

I have decided I do not want brakes anymore so I need to get rid of the booster :D Cant figure out how the hell it is mounted on, and the book doesnt help much eather... Please help me.. Thanks in advance..

Remove the master cylinder from the booster if you want. You don't really need to but I do for clearance. If you're engine isn't in the car then don't sweat it. But anyways, you should be able to locate the two nuts securin the brake master cylinder under the dash near where the top of the brake pedal is. You'll also need to disconnect the brake pedal from the booster as well. Thats it.

I meant the two nuts securing the booster under the dash.

I accidentally put brake master cylinder on the underdash part.

how you gonna stop flinstones style

yeah... brakes are old news now. The newest fad is to just hit something...

Use the car in front of you to slow down... it's amazing how much longer your pads will last. It's a little hard on the front bumper, so you may want to install one of those patrol car type ramming gates on the front.;)

YES! Then you can do the "pitman move" to somebody on the freeway!

Sometimes when I'm on the freeway, I get the urge to just crank the steering wheel and see what happens... Is that wierd? :eek:

haha, this thread is cracking me up.

We S130 drivers are a hoot and a half!

Hey man, your not alone on that one. I sometimes have asked the same question. It is kind of stupid, but I still think it. But then I look at the reality sense, and don't think about it as much. I mean that would be friggin' crazy to be going at a high speed, and suddenly get the urge to crank the wheel. :eek: I would say I'd be in for a world of hurt! ;) I thought I was one of the few that has thought that way! :rolleyes:

Sry to add some Z32 to this thread, but, I've also thought of that....pretty crazy, you would have to be really insane, or just a big fan of pain. Could you just imagine? :eek:

NO I really don't want to try to imagine! ;) And yes here would come the pain, and if you survived, can we say $ signs up to yin yang! :eek: And as long as you don't have a 350z. :rolleyes: It's cool with me, sorry if I offended any new 350z owners. ;) Just stating my opinion. :D

Thanks for a good mornings laugh and the answer.. My stupid ass was looking all arounf the booster in the enginebay.. kinda forgot the booster was connected to the pedal.. oh and I am really removing it to paint it redo the seals and leave it removed to have the engine bay painted whr the rest of the car gets painted :D

I see a turbo in those pics! :eek:

Where I dont see nothin??? :confused: :p

I had a psycho girlfriend once reach over and grab the steering wheel and yank it while going down the freeway at about 75... "just to see what would happen". It wasn't pretty, but my old BMW 635 CSI hung pretty tough... after a couple ugly 360's I got it pointed the right direction again without hitting anything. Got the attention of the other drivers on the road though. Scared the crap outta me. We broke up shortly after that... go figure.:rolleyes:


Rod.

I woulda kicked her ass outta my car & left her on the freeway!

YEAH!!! What hhheeeee /\ /\ /\ said!! Only woulda found time to do it while we were spinning and watch her go flying!! :D

Actually, the final straw came a few weeks later, when she wrapped that beautiful/fast/sexy 635 around an oak tree. I owned that car for a total of two months.:mad: As soon as I found out she was OK, I got rid of her:p . Picture 1= The car she killed, Picture 2= It's replacement:) .


Rod.

Rod is a pimp downgraded the girl and upgraded the car :eek:

let me say it again PIMP :cool:

Sho Nuff :d

Dammit! I hate Porsche! Mine has been so touchy... cheap parts? not even in my dreams!

Cant wait til I dig in to this project http://www.gt-racing.com/catalog/default.htm :D All Carbon 944, hopefully turbo, carrera GT conversion 2inches wider on all fenders... mmmmmm but like you said "cheap parts?" FOR THE LINK CLICK 924/944 PARTS, SECOND PAGE

Funny thing about Porsche's... Lot's of people can afford to buy one, Very few can afford to own one.;)

Rod.

I just wanna put a donut on someone, once i put my 16x7s on I should be able to do it without crunching the fenders I have put so much work into.

Oh come on. You mean to tell me none of you have ever just jerked the wheel and ripped the ebrake while flying down an empty freeway? I mean I'm sure not all of you have freeways as wide as the I15 can get but come on. We're talking good fun and a carton of ciggarettes once you're done screaming :D But the look on you best friends face during the whole ideal as he grabs onto anything he can from the passenger seat because you decide to act on a whim and get the car spinning at 80mph without saying a word...Priceless :D .

That was in my ZX2 though. I'd never do something like that anymore, especially in my Z. Had to put the spare on as one of the tires seperated from the rim and started shooting sparks. I'm sure it looked really pretty from a distance. Counter steering at that point is pretty pointless so I just let it go til it got down to a managable speed. For the next couple years til I left Cali he never would get back in a car with me if I was driving. Said he just couldn't trust me anymore.

Disclaimer: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ON YOUR LOCAL INTERSTATE. The results can be disasterous. I consider my self lucky especially considering I lost a tire during the whole ordeal. What was I thinking? I wasn't. Just another stupid kid who just had to get it out of my system. Adrenaline can be an addicting thing :D

Its easy to own one...Harley V-Rod :) designed, built and tested in germany by porsche...you can get one of those Brand New for like $15k

Not quite the same now is it?:rolleyes:


Rod.

Haha, thats just good times there, I know what you mean, busting that ebrake is sure fun, and even more fun when you've got someone else w/ you who didnt see it coming :D I've never busted it out on the freeway, but definately have my 180 mastered on city streets (even in my Z). Its like anything else stupid attempted while driving, only do it in safe areas where you cant hurt yourself or anyone else, and even then, its still usually stupid.

Your Pyscho man, off the hook, crazy SOB! :p I thought I was the insane crazy one. That took a lot of balls and guts, that would have been a rush, all the way to the moon! :eek: Congrats man, and thanks for sharing with us! :cool: Damn your nuts! LOL! :D

Thats what he said, but he wasn't smiling. :D I was though :D

... Jason ...

... You, my friend. Are insane.

HIGH FIVE FOR YOUR BAD SELF!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy mo-fo ... :D

J you are nuttier than squirrel shit :D Thats good to, you covered yourself from people filing lawsuits on you;)

Ahh, lawsuits don't bother me. It's lww I'm worried about :D

And remember guys, as much as it pisses off the guys behind you on the grid, keep it on the track when trying the newest and craziest :D




If you don't try it atleast once, then you'll never know?

And if at first you dont succeed try,try again :D

Ooh, I like that :D
