Searched and read several articles on the 1990-1993 master cylinders.

Wondering if there is any advantage to using the 1 1/16" bore unit on a 1994?

Next question is if the 1990-1993 master cylinder will work on a 1994?

The reason for asking is that my 1994 MC has a big part built into the line right below the MC.

Anyone know what that part is?

the 90-93 as you may know uses the tokico MC, which has the 2 fittings on the side. The 94-96 uses the nabco which has one on the side and one on the bottom with that big adapter thing..

You could proably make it work but I dont know what the advantage would be?

Following your advice from about 3 years ago

zerothread?id=128705

picked up a set of Z32tt calipers and rotors, and four G35 18" wheels.

Read another thread discussing how the early MC are 1/16" larger bore. Is it worth it, or am I chasing my tail for nothing?

Ive had Z brakes on my Q for 3 years and Ive never felt compelled to change the MC.
