brake master cylinders

[dr1ft-pig]

hi all, i have a leaking master cylinder and i want to upgrade to a r32/r33 master

now my question is do i need the ABS or non ABS

the abs has 2 outlets so it looks like it will suit

non abs will have 3 yeah?

correct me if I'm wrong but i think i need to use the ABS type

thank you in advance

P.S. if anyone has the right r32 master to suit my hachi let me know as I'm looking to buy

cheers again :2thumbs:

I don't know the "correct" answer, but I'm sure you could use either. As long as the outlets are not going to be too close to anything else. If there are too many outlets, block one off.

Obviosly you need to use your brain, and know its a duel master with the front for the front brakes etc.

so blocking one would be an option yeah??? i thought that might fuck brake balance up or something

the abs one has 2 outlets so I'm thinking thats the one ill go with

cheers for the quik reply man

Well, its a duel master cylinder. Not a tripple. So the third must be to have 2 rears, or 2 fronts. So you could block one off. Also remember that Nissan masters have bleed nipples in them also, do don't get that mixed up for a outlet.

i saw a non abs r32 one used on an aussie ae86, tight fit but good

ive only ever seen the non-abs ones used. i read a couple of articles on this and remember something about how the abs ones couldnt be used. either that or the booster of the abs ones cannot be used.

I'm pretty sure Jonny Rochester is right and one of those outlets you counted is a bleeder.

this is the kind of upgrade you only really need if youre going to run BIG brakes. the RA60 brakes youre running are practically the same as JDM ae86 brakes so unless those are going to be upgraded too i wouldn't really bother.

i also wouldn't bother upgrading higher than what you got unless youre pushing more than 130-140rwkw

I'm upgrading to s13 gear

so can i use a s13 master and just block off a port??

[Jonny Rochester]

Basically you want the front section of the master to be pumping brake fluid out to the front brakes, and the back cavity of brake fluid pumping fluid to the back brakes. Any extra outlets can be blocked off if you retain the front brake T junction on the chassis rail.

sweet so i can just use any s13,r32,r33

very good, thanks for the info guys
