i run z32 complete.. on a s14, using a z31 MC... works fine.. i like it nuff said...

YOURPLOWEDBITCH · 01-24-2007, 11:54 PM

If running full Z32 you best choice of brake master cylinder will be late late 94and 95-96 Z32 brake master cylinder it has a split point of 327psi this will aid in lessing the potential for rear brake lockup before fronts all other Z32 master cylinders has a higher split like 469psi IIRC.....

YOURPLOWEDBITCH · 01-24-2007, 11:56 PM

Oh and yes Z31 will work, perferably you want the late 86 and above as those have the lowest split point I believe to be 427psi...

so if one were to be running 30mm Z32 front calipers with stock S13 rears and Z31 MBC.. it all should work out decent with brake bias and all?

86 Z31 Non-Turbo MC part number
Autozone = Fenco M52060 $27 (w/ core)
Advance Auto Parts = Cardone 112060 ($37 w/core)

yeah its fine... if i were u, just get a used one from pick n pull.... its like 15 bucks... well worth it.. just look for a decent one...

I run Z32 26mm fronts with OEM pads (wearin em out) and stock S13 rears (old ass Hawk pads), and with the Z32 MC (Tokico) the braking felt wrong for sure. I toasted my rear pads whenever I braked hard, and had a hard time bedding my fronts. Picked up a '86 300zx Tokico MC at a junkyard for $20, cleaned it up, and will be throwin it on tomorrow - should be perfect.

slideways2004 · 02-01-2007, 07:53 AM

does the 86 Z31 Non-Turbo MC bolt right up or is there modification required?

hybrid_eg · 02-23-2007, 01:15 AM

good question slideways, i'm curious to find out as well if it bolts right up or line fitting needs to be modified?

GSXRJJordan · 02-23-2007, 03:28 AM

Oops should have posted that too - no modification required. bolts right up, and all the lines are in the same place. Works great if you've got Z32's up front and stockers in the back like me.
