Quick update on this. My brand new booster failed. When it was working it felt fine on the Z32 master.

have you considered using a brake booster from an automatic car?

Not every automatic S13 has the large double diaphragm brake booster, only ABS equiped and I've seen some convertable if not all that come with it that dont have ABS.

I got one for sale here BTW:

Thread revival. Sorry.

Lot of heated back and forth in this thread.

My bmc recently started squirting. I have a z32 bmc in my possesion. Stock calipers and lines.

Also have the booster.

Im conluding that i am better off getting a new s13 bmc. That right?

Yes. A 15/16" Z32 BMC might be ok, but you'll be putting less pressure to the rear brakes.

Best bet is to use an S13 BMC.
