already searched but i'm gonna be doin a q45 brake upgrade on my s13 soon.

i've heard from the 300zx upgrade that the brake pedal feels "mushy" or "soft" and in that case you should swap in a z32 m/c, will the pedal feel change with the q45 brake upgrade?

FWIW, my brake feel didn't change much at all. I have an abs car though, so my mc is a 15/16. I would like a firmer pedal, so a mc change is definately on my 'to do' list.

I have a buddy that did the q45 upgrade on his s14...I'll see him tomorrow and I'll ask him for you. :)

on my automatic 1990 it feels just fine. i have no idea what size my MC is though...i heard the autos and ABS equipped cars have bigger ones.

I don't really like how mine feels (granted, the brakes need to be bled again)...but I'll post an update if things improve. I have the 15/16 btw. The only other MC is the 1-1/16.

I have read that the 300zx had at least 3 different sizes and all of them can be used on the 240sx....
