RoadRace Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 so i have the zx master for my 510 and pulled the rod out of my 510 master and it dosen't look like it will work what did you guys do about the rod that pushes in on the master ???? i took the 510 rod off the 510 mc and used it on the 280 mc - it wasn't attached like it was on the 510, but i adjusted the slack out of it and have never had a problem. somebody else recently commented on this and they said they ground a point on the 510 rod where it locates on the 280mc - sounded like a good idea and i thinkl i'd do that the next time i did the swap.

DRIVEN Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 That's what we did on my brother's 521. IIRC we also welded a small amount to the end of the rod because it was a bit short. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm trying to do this right now. Anybody got any pictures on how they are doing it. I took the rod out of my 510 MC, but rod can fit through the whole of the stopper on the 280zx MC? Also the plungers how easy should they be able to move by hand? I mean if I put the rod into the MC and push how much should the plungers move? Sorry lots of dumb questions. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 They are not easy to push in by hand. You would have to brace the m/c and push pretty hard. I did this recently to bench bleed one. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Ok that makes me feel a little better lol. I couldn't do it, was trying to decide if mine sucked, or if I was that much of a pussy. lol. So probably what I can do is weld on the tip a bit then grind it down so it fits into the end like others have. Cool gives me an excuse to break out the welder. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 hmmm did I screw up my MC, testing out my rod modification I pressed the pedal which pushed in the rod but now the MC is pushed in and it won't come back. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 sounds like the spring in master is bad did you get a used master ??? Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yeah it was used. That's what I figured though. Time for a rebuild kit, or just buy a new one. Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 That's what I was going to look into. Rockauto is out of stock, going to check other sites. Any other good ones? Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Sweet, got lucky. checked rockauto yesterday and they had three reman's in stock. Grabbed one of those, ball joints and tie rods. Getting closer and closer to actually getting to drive my baby. Quote Link to comment
