Nice dude. Keep the pics coming. You took yours a step further than mine. Can't wait to see it all painted and caged

If for some reason I decide to not do spec Z I will remove the speaker boxes and most of the steel bar under the dash along with CF hatch and all that. ST3 might be a possibility later down the road with a motor build. At this point, it would almost be cheaper to rebuild my motor than buy all the crap I need for Spec Z.

Hurry up and come play in TT
I may not be doing it much longer. W2W FTW

So I decided to delete ABS and brake booster, going to a dual master cylinder with bias bar, started to draw it up. The most difficult part is modify stock pedal to get correct ratio. I have a good fab guy at work, so anything is possible with him, current pedal is around 4:1 and I need to get it around 6:1 with manual brakes

The picture on the left is just an example of the pedal box
the picture on the right I am starting to draw it up

I am in and out of town with work, so this might take awhile

Similar setup to what I have. What bore sizes are you thinking about for each?

Under $250 I think $75 per MC, $60 for bias bar, and what ever fittings I need

Have to calculate them, I am going to pull the brake pedal off tomorrow and figure out my ratio

Ours is a completely different setup than a 350Z, but to give you a point of reference.

The single MC Setup was a 1" Wilwood.

The new one is a 7/8 and a 5/8 Wilwood with a 6:1 ratio. We intalled a ratio balance bar so I could tune it via the cockpit ****.

is the 5/8 the front and 7/8 the rear?
so now you just tee off the single line coming from the MC, for each wheel?

Thanks for the pictures, appreciate it
