well run into a snag in my s13 sr20.
the car is set up as an auto but I did the manual swap and all that good stuff but now I'm upgrading the turbo to a t3/t4 and a top mount manifold. well my dump pipe hits the brake booster and the brake lines just wondering if there is a different brake booster or cylinder that I can use that is smaller all I need is about 1/2 inch or might just live on 1/4 of an inch that might make everything fit 300z brake stuff or maybe manuall stuff what about the altama or something can give me that type of room any help would be great

You can use the 5spd manual NON ABS brake booster, which is what Im running on my S14 that is ABS. Both the AUTO and ABS boosters are thicker and therefore will cause clearance issues, as far as brake lines you can probably do custom stainless lines otherwise just bend some custom lines to get around the fitment issues.

Yeah the NON ABS manual booster, if you get the auto non abs its still going to be thicker, basically any manual booster as long as its non abs. Regardless its hard to find a manual ABS car S13 or S14.

Correct. The auto and ABS boosters are dual diaphragm.

We've discussed this before.
