The ABS Master has 1 less port I believe (if its the same as S13), so simple answer is no, get a Non-ABS Master Cylinder.

O ok I was looking into it and I heard that the MC could have went because I have 300zx brakes on the front and I may need to get a z MC I was wondering if you or anyone knows if I have to switch out break lines and if again I would need to get an abs MC or not if I do go with a Z MC? And also if it matters if I go with a 240 MC could I use an s13 Non abs MC because that's the only one I can find. And one more question to bother you guys with if I go with the Z MC can I get any year MC as long as it's from a 300zx or does it need to be from the same year as the brakes that I have? Thanks
