what's up guys. I'm doing a z32 brake coversion on my 95 s14 non ABS. I got every part except for the master cylinder. I was wondering about which cylinder that you guys use on z32 brake coversion. Any modification other than bending the hard line to fit, Improvement over stock feel? What's size of the master cylinder ABS or non. Oh! and the caliper i got is from a 90 300zx non turbo, 26mm. I've done a search but really want an update from people that have actually done it already.
thanks

thanks, that answer alot

other question though can I use a MC from a turbo on NA MC. will it work or not.

Dream240 · 08-05-2004, 11:21 AM

All the MC will work on the 240. You just have to make the brake lines line up on the S14 like he says in the post.

Check the article at the bottom for MC applications.

noahrexion · 08-05-2004, 01:45 PM

U really dont need a MC if u are only doing the fronts. THe pedal feel is fine IMO (95 non abs w/ 30mm).

mutkung · 08-05-2004, 01:55 PM

so, pretty much any MC will work, thanks

buntavy · 08-05-2004, 02:00 PM

Noahrexion is right.. You dont have to swap out the MC, but if you want to. You can swap it and the brake line you dont have to bend it. You will need to remove the plug from the second front brake line port on your MC and close with the first. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm#MC Read this section you will know what i'm talking about. I did my both front and rear with Ebrake upgraded.

Okay how many times are we going to refer to the same article? I think he gets the point. If he can't read the whole thing from start to finish then he's got problems. Are we done with this?

mutkung · 08-08-2004, 10:46 PM

got it done today. didn't put the MC in yet though(didn't have enough time) and also want to try how different it will be the the different MC, however, the pedal is way too soft with the 240MC. So, will defenitely put the 300zx MC in. Thanks for all the advice.

Watch out, you might get people flaming you on how the Z32 front brake conversion hurts your performance!

Looks nice, BTW.
