300zx Break Questionsxcusememisswyn 08-26-2005, 01:42 PM I got some z32 calipers for the front on the way, and im startin to part everything else together i need for them. Just lookin for advice on everything i need to make this go off easy as i can. Will i need the z32 master cylinder for just the fronts? Do i need one of the rebuild kits or can i put them on just as i get them? by rebuild kit i mean one of these http://pdm-racing.com/products/brakesz32.html the next item after the actual brake upgrade at the top. has anyone done the rears, i can get them real cheap but most ppl say its to much work. has anyone done it and is it worth it? sf_carfreak 08-26-2005, 02:00 PM I hear people don't change the MC when doing only the fronts. I upgraded the front calipers, MC, and ss lines all at once so I wouldn't know what it would feel like w/out the z32 MC (nabco 1 1/16"). However, I really like how the brake feels, it's a lot stiffer and it stops on a dime. I'm assuming you probably won't get that response on a 240 stock MC. I have the parts for the rear swap, but since my engine is stock I think it would be overkill for me to do it. Plus for a 98 I heard the ebrake lines are a pain to connect. As for the rebuild kit, you're probably going to have to get the pins and connectors depending on the condition of the ones you got. monooxide 08-26-2005, 04:18 PM :screwy: Brakes.... xcusememisswyn 08-26-2005, 08:18 PM :screwy: Brakes.... whats that supp to mean? D-Bo 08-26-2005, 08:57 PM you definitely don't NEED the master cylinder but you won't get everything out of 4 pistons with the stock mc. xcusememisswyn 08-26-2005, 10:00 PM well i think i mite just buy the calipers b/c i can, the place only wants 80 for them, thats what i got my front for too... i am gonna buy a MC on monday and then ill start gettin the pads and rotors and stuff... and the rebuild kit if it seems like i need them AWDSR20 08-26-2005, 11:52 PM U NEEED THE MC!!!! dude, Z32 brakes NEEED Z32 MC. the stock MC can't handl 8 extra pistonz! http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm#compare Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
