all nissan hydralic clutches work the same, the "strength" of the master cylinder is its bore size...

if the bore is smaller than the rb... it will take more pedal travel to move the clutch the same distance.... if the bore is higher (i doubt it) it will take less pedal travel to move the clutch....

this same effect is seen on the 300zx MC sizes when you do the brake swap....

what am i getting at? the stock MC will work either way but it will need to be adjusted. just as the stock MC will work with the 300zx calipers

the bore size of the MC is stamped somewhere on it... just find the sizes of each and compare.

The master cylinder for the RB (at least the 20) has a different entry point for the hardline so if you were going to use it, the line may require minor bending. As for the slave cylinder, they looked somewhat different but I can't say for sure if they were.
