300zx master cylinder upgrade

[awdfury]

Question: I recently purchased a new master cylinder for a 300zx for my 300zx caliber upgrade. As most of you know there is a bolt that caps of the second front brake line. It looks like a five sided allen. The problem is no one makes a five sided allen (that I could find) so how do you remove it? Any ideas will help.

use a tool you don't care about or have free replacement on and pound it in there till it holds. or use an easyout.

You could hammer a hex allen into it that is slightly larger to remove it.

Or go to

ImportNut's site and see what he said to do.

I jammed a Torx bit in there and unscrew it.

I don't remember all the details of my z32 brake upgrade. But i'll post what I remember:


On the master cylinder nothing had to be modified on / in the part itself. The only modification done for this to fit on the car was to bend the brake lines to meet up with the proper holes.

For the brakes to fit, the fronts go one without any adjustments. For the rears, you have to dremel out the largest mounting point a slight bit to get them to slip on.

Alot of people have to modify the e-brake system to get it to work. On my setup, the ebrake cables from the z32 brakes were pulled far enough for them to fit into the stock s14 cable positions, no modification.
