1994-1996 Q45 Master Cylinder on a 1990-1993 Q45

[Infinitiguy19]

Would a 1994-1996 Infiniti Q45 Master Cylinder (MC) fit on a 1990-1993 Q45?

Is the advantage of the bleeder on the MC itself worth it? I have seen someone bench bleed a MC but that's about it.

Sorry if this has been asked before but search is down.

Also where would I find a MC brake fluid bottle? It keeps the MC constantly full when bleeding the brake system.

Search is back up and I have my answer.

If you bleed the fluid out of everywhere then all one must do is "turkey baster" the old fluid out of the MC. Keep doing that until the fluid stays the same color as new.

In the 16 years and 282+K miles my Q has been on the road, it has only received 2 total brake fluid flushes, along with an annual suck out and replacement of fluid from the MC using a battery bulb.still on all original calipers{never resealed/rebuilt}, lines,ABS unit,master cylinder, brake booster,etc. Only parts of entire braking system ever changed has been pads,rotors,and brake hardware kits{shims,pad retaining clips,pinboots}.

Not sure what a battery bulb is but I still think you should write a book. And if you do I call a measly 25% of all the money you receive.

Battery bulb is similar to a turkey baster, but holds more fluid and has a smaller diameter so it fits into MC and PS openings easier.they are originally designed to suck excess fluids out of car batteries that had removable filler caps on top{non maintenance free type batteries} available at all auto parts stores for a few bucks

I bought a oil mixer from Walmart that does the job.

Yeah the main problem with the different year master cylinders is the lines go in different places. Its not worth it, IMO..
