I've been looking all over the place, but can't find a defined answer through Zilvia or Google. Z32 ones work? Will it matter weather or not if it's ABS or not as far as the conversion for a z32 brake booster?
Thanks

Are you jumping up to Brembo's or something larger? If so and your running the factory BMC, the system is going to run out of air and brakes will feel weak.

I suggest a BMC from a BCNR33 since this model came std with Brembo option.

I couldn't get the z32 booster to fit between the strut tower and my firewall.

you can also use the dual diaphram booster from an auto s14 with the z32 bmc

Auto/ABS S14 boosters are dual diaphragm, 205/180mm. We've discussed this for over a decade.

I installed the Z32 brakes and the pedal feel is off, along with little braking power. I've installed z32s on my three other 240s, and never had this problem but then realized that all of them were automatic at one time or another. I checked for leaks and there was nothing. When I blead my brakes, the rears had great pressure, but the fronts didn't push enough out.

I went out today and double checked and still no leaks, let the car run for a while, no leaks, brake fluid is pretty good. I'm completely lost, so I guess booster and bmc are the issue. Any other ideas?

Anyone ever consider running a frontier BMC? I heard they give great pedal feel? Any people on her with experience?
