I believe I just rolled over 70K miles, 114k klm

Looking for some recommendations on what parts direction to go on two major projects on my 96 RHD FZJ80. The Two major projects are Brakes and the classic knuckle rebuild. For brakes, planning on rotors, pads, and one caliper. Any recommendations? While I can do the OEM from Cruiser Outfitters...

Appreciate it!

Firstly, thank those who answered my thread a few days ago about the type of master cylinder I needed. I recently bought a 96 FZJ80 VX limited imported 102,000km (63k miles) from Japan. It's in pretty incredible condition; there are a few minor things I already took care of noted in the...

Yeah I think the recommendation from others was to replace both, or convert the international booster/master with the more common US version. I ended up buying from partsourq, it was more recommended than what seemed to be the other Chinese rebuilds. Will end up doing the booster soon, as a...

That’s pretty great shipping time from that far, hopefully it’s similar to the US. Thanks!

Yep I have the same part number and everything and I think we’ve looked at the same Advics one, from roughtrax4x4. Unfortunately I’m in the position where I need it replaced sooner rather than later. May shell out more for faster shipping but willing to wait a week or so too.

Much appreciated! Definitely may consider doing that to save some time, and possibly money in the long run. Looks like some of the LHD ones have the vacuum hose “flipped” (top right, instead of top left), but that’s the only difference I’ve seen.

Yeah it’s clear the two bolts aren’t available here in the US from the considerable searching I did from US auto parts places. I considered a rebuild of the master cylinder, and from some of the parts diagrams for both the 4 bolt and 2 bolt versions seem to have the same OEM part numbers, not...

It’s always fun going to the Japanese parts sites and pretending like I know Japanese, knew I should’ve started Duolingo before I bought the 80. Only “difference” I can see from the LHD to the RHD is the vacuum line location being flipped (and of course on the other side of the engine bay)…...

No no! you make the point my brain keeps trying to convince myself isn’t true! Yeah I thought about doing both at once, only factor was the wallet, but in the end I’m just pushing the problem down the hill. Do you think it’ll be an issue to replace the JDM booster/master with the US versions?

Here is a photo of the MS, if that helps.

I have a 1996 FJZ80 imported from Japan (JDM, RHD, etc, etc), it's fantastic! I hate to start another thread on the Spongey brake issue (I've read so many), but as I follow the FSM, I have run into a dilemma. The Brake Master Cylinder has 2 bolt holes onto the booster instead of 4, which...
