Hey guys
I just bought a 1990 Oz-spec 3.0 L-Jetronic 75 non-ABS as a project car.
It looks like the brake bias regulator has been removed (I haven't searched for an adjuster knob but there wasn't an obvious one). The front/rear brakes are standard AFAIK (I haven't checked pad brand/model yet). My plan is to add the RS Racing 'Budget Performance Brake' upgrade, which relocates the front calipers on brackets to fit 305mm discs.
I've only driven the car in the dry, gently, and the brakes feel ok to me.
What's the lack of bias regulator mean for the car? More or less rear brake bias?
The car will be used purely on the street, but upgraded to a 'fast street' vehicle (ie: RS Racing coilovers, polybushes, brake upgrade, exhaust; retain the 12V 3.0). I don't want the risk of locking up the rears in the wet, to catch me out in traffic around a corner.
If you advise I should have a bias regulator refitted, no probs, I can do that. I've also read that Alfetta GTV(6) ones may have more/better rear bias compared with the standard 75/Milano one?
TIA
