master cylinder upgrade ?

[filh]

R32 are so rare here , just saw that car in Francorchamps , some years ago !
But never saw one here on roads nearby.

Springs to avoid pistons getting back ? I heard about that and I thought about it for rear . When pads are getting thin , piston move back a lot and the pedal stroke is longggggggggggggg.

I convinced that I need a 1" BMC ,and I'll try to find one at decent price of course .
Need new engine now .......

I'm also interested in this subject because I'm about to fit seb's Brembo caliper kit.

I've got to buy the pads, bolts, pierce the discs and I'm ready to assemble the whole thing!

I'll keep track of this topic.

Has anyone considered checking out the Subaru STI MC? It's a 2 bolt design, wondering if it might line up right. Haven't had a chance to take measurements though.

Finally bought this : Nissan Navara 15/16" , 2 bolts fixing.
It looks perfect for fitting .
Rear hole is in same place , and the lateral(left) one need the hose to be a little bended .
So it's easy to fit . For the upgrade feeling , you'll have to wait . As I already said , no engine for now . I'll left feedback later .

Here's a little picture of the Nissan Navara (1999) BMC (also named King Cab)

how 'bout an MC from an 86 Nissan 200sx (gazelle). bore is 15/16". mounting holes LOOK to be the same. just have to confirm.

compare:

AE86 MC:



200sx MC:

Do you have news on this subject?

Any of you upgraded yet?

Best regards

Done for me , with Nissan Navara bmc.Almost bolt-on . Only a hose to be bent a little (from up to side of Bmc )

The pedal feeling has totally changed . It's now very hard . I have a proportional valve . I've got no problem with rear brakes blocking.
But it's very hard to get the front wheels blocked .....
Maybe a brake booster linking problem ?
I'm rallying this week-end , hope I 'll have good news .

Have you readjusted the link rod that pushes the master cylinder in after swapping master cylinders?
