Hi guys i have an 87 300zx non turbo and i'm have brake problems. When i first start driving it everything's fine, i push the clutch in and it'll coast forever. But the longer i drive it the tighter and tighter the brakes get. after driving it for a while i'll push the clutch in and it actually slows quickly to a stop. I've replaced pads, rotors, rebuilt the calipers, and just installed a new master brake cylinder today but the problem is still there. any suggestions about where to go from here? Thanks

sounds like a brake booster issue.

Check the vacuum hoses that go to your brake booster...
