I do not have a non ABS MBC for a Nx2000. I also don't know anyone overhere with a non ABS Nx2000. Mike Kojima wrote on sentra.net to use an Altima MBC, but there are no Altima's overhere. Also, getting such a specific part on the scrap heap never really worked for me on anything, like getting a proper MAF, AAC, AICV and such.

Also the way our Nissan club's are built over time isn't very helpful for someone you could compare living in Kentucky. But that is another story.

Would something fit in there or do 'brake line couplers' come capped? Such a question gives a lot of huuh and ehhm in the local automotive shops, if something doesn't sell, they do not stock it. Like I can get 1000 sanding paper but not 2000. And that shop is a nation wide brand. And educating their personel is something (which they have to do themselves) isn't going to work because this country, no papers, no job. It should be if you can fulfill the job, your hired.

They tell me overhere that is normal in America. Europe is retarded in many ways.

long story

I will use the Nx1600 MBC and trial and error the thing, or if somebody knows how to close the holes with some bolt that belongs there, that would be great, that saves me work and figuring a lot of things out to be sure it will be safe.

p.s.

If I would buy some Wilwood's for example, what MBC do you have to use then?

... Altima MBC. Jeez. I've even told you right here:

Inloggen

Using the 2 piston calipers, you have 6 (instead of 4) pistons to "power" with the hydraulics.

You might be able to get away with the stock 2.0 MBC, but you'd get the same "unresponsive" pedal feel as when using the 1.6 MBC on a 2.0.

But generally: More pistons = bigger MBC.

EDIT: For you non-Dutch guys, don't even bother clicking the link, it's Dutch, and you need to register first. It's a post where I explain some things about the MBCs (1.6, 2.0 and Altima).

It is not that I do not believe u Mojo, really, I value your words.

On the other hand I feel a little like an explorer just like my engine swap. It is becomming 'ghetto advanced' that much, resulting in a fact that there are still people that can help me by giving answers, but they tend to be far away from my place exponentially.

p.s. I could contact Wilwood with a question about the dimensioning necessity's for their product, but I prefer asking around, bc no seller likes 'test pilot's' I knew that already and ebay taught me it is true

p.s. the way of travel on the brake pedal I have experienced, isn't comforting.
