I got a tokico bm57 master cylinder that i want to replace by my stock MC, but the new tokico MC reservoir is different from stock MC. So is it possible to swap the fluid reservoir from the original master cylinder, then i can use the original fluid level wiring without having to splice wiring thanks.

as long as the ports are the same diameter and have the same spacing you can just swap reservoirs so if its a stock replacement mc then yes it will work but its a pain to pull off the reservoir

Nearly all Nissan master cylinders accept the same size reservoir. It pops right off by leaning it to one side. Inspect the rubber grommets and replace as required.
