I've had Z32 brakes for a couple years now and I'm interested in getting a little more brake assist. Will a 300ZX booster bolt up to the S14's chassis? (Obviously the MC will bolt up! )Thanks!Ben

I have the same setup and the VERY same question! So I'll bump in hopes that someone has this answer. I am going to be upgrading my front 300zx though to R33 GTS-T rotors and calipers..basically any brake upgrade possible I want done...so the booster question is the only thing left.

If you use the booster in conjunction with all the other 300zx stuff then it will not help out the feel at all. What you want is to just run the mater cylinder with the brakes so you get the braking advantage plus the feel.

i'm also interested in this upgrade. i did the full swap including a 17/16ths MC and now it takes a lot of effort to stop hard. i love the short travel though.

does anyone have the specs on the different boosters? they are in the FSMs but i can't check any of them here.

jgauspohl, if you want every possible brake upgrade, get better tires.

I've got s02's right now...and they yam....just switched them out..I have a few sets of 300zx rims..I just went through a set with ****ty michelins on them...so I had to slap my s02's on. I got the whole set brand new for like 200 bucks. Took me a long time of searching ebay...but boy was it worth it..they're better than the s03's I believe but they were discontinued a long time ago. They're sticky though...haven't had a chance to take them on The Dragon (hwy 129) yet. BTW someone answer the booster question please.
