do you have to use the z32 master cylinder for this mod on an s13? also if you change masters will it affect abs since my car has that option? also will rear calipers from the z32 swap over? is it even worh doing the rears?

I believe you should use the z32 master cylinder but i think they're are different sized bmc's for the z32 so make sure you get the right one.
Idk how this will effect abs so cant help you there, try searching cause i know the z32 questions are everywere n have been covered.
and honestly i wouldnt bother with the rears its not that important the only real advantage to doing the z32 rears is they have a seperate drum brake for the e-brake.

yes you should use the z32 master cylinder but you do not HAVE too. the size that is most common is a 1" but the 1 1/16 would be a step up from that. I read that increasing the BMC size will render the ABS inactive because it is set to a certain pressure tolerance and increasing the size gives it bad info or something along those lines, they may or may not work, i couldnt tell you from personal experience. also as far as the rears just swap over its a yes and know answer look at the definitive 300zx brake swap on google. dont bother with the rears they are just more of a pain that the benefit you get unless you are truely tracking the car seriously
