Z32 Brake MC fitment

[SimpleEnigma]

Is the Z32 brake master cylinder a direct fit for the s13 240 brake MC? If so, does it matter whether the z32 MC is from a TT or NA? My stocker brake MC is going bad and wondering if it would be a direct replacement, or would i have to get the brake booster also?

In short, yes, the MC bolts in.

However...

From what I've heard, you would only want to swap to a Z32 MC (NA or Turbo, I think they're the same) if you had front and rear Z32 brakes, or at the very least z32 fronts. This has to do with the proportioning valve built into the Master Cylinder. It diverts pressure to the front or rear brakes in a different ratio than the 240sx MC. If you have stock brakes, then you should just rebuild your mc, or buy one off someone who's swapped theirs for a Z32 unit.

well, yes the MC will bolt right in however there are a few things you need to know. first there are several sizes that came on the z32 so knowing what kind of brakes you plan to run in the future will be a big factor to figure in. just remember that the larger the mc the stiffer the pedal will be. for example i plan on going with z32 brakes up front and possibly the rear. i love a stiff pedal so i went with the largest mc available however i am still running stock brakes currently so trying to panic stop is like stopping a bus with no power brakes. the best info is available at this link http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm there you will fint all the info you need for the mc swap including part numbers
