    Post AE 86 brake upgrade question....

    I have done the RX 7 FC brake conversion on the front of my 86 and wanted to get rid of that sponginess in the pedal. I heard the R32 non ABS master brake cylinder bolts straight on and fixes all issues is this true? and if so does anyone have one they're willing to sell?

    Sponginess could be a bunch of things. But yes, non-ABS R32 (it may also have to be turbo) master fits and gives you a bigger bore. BM44 rings a bell for the part number, but it's been a few years so you best Google it and check.

    Also check what you should do with your bias valve given your rear brakes so your front-rear balance is good.

    As for finding them, check skylines australia for people wrecking cars, or specialist wreckers.
