I dont think any other master cylinders swap out with the maxima...

I would go o/e if you plan on keeping the car and stay away from the idiotzone m/c's

If you can get it to work, I would love to see it done. Problem is, the 300ZX MC runs a 3-line setup and we run 4.

Unless you're doing some major brake upgrades, i don't see the need to upgrade the MC. Can these stock ones be rebuilt?
