R32 brake master cylinder install

[thang nguyen]

i'm posting this here with hope of better answers...has anyone tried the R32 brake master cylinder install into the 240sx rather than the Z32 master cylinder??? I'm having trouble with mine and hopeing someone with a higher knowledge can give me some insites....thanks.

thats an excellent question... i havent seen anyone attempt this before.

ABS has only 2 hardlines and non ABS has 3 hardlines. Here's the write up on MC swap. He took the fitting out of 240 MC and put it in z32 MC.

You will need 3rd hole and all the holes should face engine unlike jdm rhd MC. You will have to bend hardlines otherwise. Best bet whould be getting a new one or go to junkyard. It's not that expensive.

Its hard finding a RHD master cylinder in the junkyard here...

But theorethically, couldn't I use a T fitting to split the front lines in two just like the 240sx T for the rear???

Wouldn't that theorethically keep the brake bias the same, since there is a propotioning valve already installed into the master cylinder???

Then hardlines can be bent to navigate the fluids to the proper calipers...

Someone double check me on this theory...either in numbers or insite...thanks.
