300zx TT front brake conversion....question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i was maybe planning on doing the conversion but have seen some complaints of a "spongy" feeling in the pedal? would i need the 300zx master cylinder to cure this problem?

even stainless steel braided brakelines would help rid the spongy feel... but the z32 MC does tighten things up quite a bit. I run a 17/16" MC with Q45 brakes all around and it's very "tight". At first I thought it was a bit TOO tight.

The only problem with it is that with stock rear brakes, your brake bias will most likely be pretty messed up..... although, I really don't think it'll be THAT bad.

how much does the MC run? and also without one is this "spongy" feeling that annoying or what? what i mean is could i do without a new MC?

i have SS lines, z32tt fronts and no mc
i like it
spongy a bit, but not ridiculous

new mc...go OEM, costs more but will last much longer.
