What Master cylinder should I use??

Post by **skylinekin** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 5:04 pm

I have 26mm 300ZX front brakes right now, stock rear brakes. I have been using the stock master cylinder so far and Im looking for something that stiffens up the pedal with the stock rear brakes and if I do ever upgrade to the 300ZX rear brakes I want this master cylinder to work with it. I dont have ABS, what are your suggestions??

From what I have read in the past...

The 15/16 MC off either an automatic 240sx or z31 non-turbo is just about perfect for z32 front brakes with stock rear brakes.

The 1" MC from a z32 is best for the full brake conversion.

The 17/16 MC is the biggest, and gives the firmest pedal feel with the full brake swap.

These master cylinders bolt on to s13's with ABS, but non-ABS cars require you to take out the middle screw and replace it with a fitting for one of the brake lines, iirc.

Use a Z31 master cylinder for a total bolt on job without any mush to the pedal.

If you're going to swap to z32 calipers front & rear, get this brake master cylinder:
