RHD stoptech brake help - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have an s13 silvia (right hand drive) and i picked up a used 4 piston stoptech front brake setup.

it didn't come with lines.

i want to run a 300zx brake master cylinder.

do i have to find a RHD master cylinder? or can i just use a normal one?

what stainless steel lines do i need? just 300zx ones? are they different for LHD and RHD?

any help would be great.

A RHD master would fit better for sure, but people have bent the lines around enough to reach the other side when using a RHD cylinder on a LHD car, as front clips always come with them. I'd try and find one since as I just said, front clips are plentiful enough.

Brakes lines to the calipers are no different per side.

like he said it would be best cause the MBC is so close to the strut but you can get a brand new 1/16 300zx one from nissan for 160 bucks
