z32 brake upgrade assistance - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

s14 - i have managed to install the calipers and rotors sucessfully, however i noticed that the brake balance was much more in the front than the rear. i would brake and my rear end locks right up. i just put the bnr33 vlsd and it was a little much, i would imagine if i did the rears as well it will equalize the brake balance. Your opinion or knowledge? im thinking of getting some drilled and slotted rotors temporarily until i can get the rear brakes/calipers/spindles in the future. then again there is the brake booster and master cylinder from the z32 as a brake performance factor. aluminum 30mm they are, any words advice are appreciated.

did you install your calipers in a way so the brake bleeder nipples are on the top of the caliper?

you should upgrade the brake master cylinder to the z32. brake booster is up to you

So you're running Z32 front brakes and stock rear brakes, with a Z32 M/C? Or are you running the stock S14 M/C?

Z32 fronts, stock rears = Z31 M/C for correct balance/feel. I run this setup.
Z32 fronts/rears = Z32 M/C.
