Ive been searching and trying to figure out if I should get a 1" or a 17/16" for my Z32 brake conversion. I have searched and I still can't make a decision.

DIF Tokico Nissan Z32 300ZX Brake Master Cylinder Upgrade for 240SX (http://www.frsport.com/DIF-Tokico-Nissan-Z32-300ZX-Brake-Master-Cylinder-Upgrade-for-240SX_p_1308.html#)

Now I know there are cheaper places to get this. But the paragraph at the end helps out a little.

If you are going to do rear conversion as well, get 17/16. If not, 1 inch is fine.

check your brake theory... fronts are 26mm but ALL rear z32 rotors use 18mm 2 piston calipers. 1" will work just fine however 1 1/16" will boost your volume of your hydrolic fluid increasing the pressure to the pistons.

I have the Tokico 1 1/16" BMC with the 26mm set up and I love it.

I yea I forgot about the rears being 18mm. Tjats another question. So when I get rotors, I het the 26mm set and those should already have the 18mm?

if you order a full set of z32 rotors f/r, they should come 2 26mm, and 2 18mm.
the choice is up to you on the bmc, read and chose.

It looks like ill go with the 17/16. No I'm on the look out for one. I know NAPA and Autozone sell replacement ones. What is you're output on that?

personally, if NAPA/AZ prices are near that site's, i'd just hit a junkyard and pull one, then buy the rebuild. then again, i'm just used to usin junkyards as my parts stores since i'm not in the states...

Thats what I was thinking but being able to find a 300zx in the junkyards around here are slim to none.
