hey guys...i recently upgraded to a set of R33 front brakes...and i just recieved an R32 master cylinder (1 1/16") for better braking feel...

My question is that the R32 only has two plugs (1 front and 1 rear)My S13 has three plugs (2 front and 1 rear)

I was told that I would have to remove some plug from the middle of the master cylinder on Z32s master cylinder, but the R32 was pluged up on the outlet nearest the booster. And without any sign of a hex or screw type to unplug it I am baffled as to what to do...can someone help please.

Something's not right. Your mater cylinder should look like this without the fitting. Plug should be there. Pic shows mine and you can buy one with 3rd fitting already installed on eBay these days.



This thread covers a lot about brake swap. Check it out. Worst case, you might have to get a new one with third hole.zer...age=2

yea mine looks kinda like that...I have the R32 one though, because I have a RHD S13 so i needed the plugs to be on the other side.....but the one way on the left that is at an angle has like a rough bump...thinkin that that would be a plug i grinded it down to try to get it out or find a something but shows nothing.....heard abs unit only has two plugs but should be a hex to unscrew..but nothing....please help.
