i upgraded my front calipers and rotors to q45/j30 and ive been reading through some of the threads and noticed that people recomend upgrading the brake master cylinder, which mc should i get, off of what car specifically because im most likely going to buy a remanufactured or new one

You need the mc off either a 300zx or q45, wichever model came from the factory with the 4piston calipers.

you dont need a new mc. I have been running q45 fronts for over a year and am still using the stock mc.

All depends on how you like the pedal feel. Some like it stiffer, some don't.

Running these in the front right now and pedal feel is a little softer than I like it but not bad at all.

Yep. People say to use the 300ZX one but you don't have to. All it does it make your pedal feel stiffer... to each his own.

I have always wondered if you can rock 99-00 G20 4lug rotors w/ Q45 calipers.
