Master Cylinder?
Do I need to change the master when doing the OEM Brembo upgrade? Do I need any bolts or brackets that my non Brembo equiped car would be missing? So far, I have calipers, pads, front rotors, and stainless lines. Please help me fill in the missing blanks, so I can get this done.

So does the master cylinder need to be changed? And can anyone recomend a GOOD aftermarket rear rotor?
Thanks.

Probably Stop Tech on the rear rotors ----I am almost positive u will have to remaster ---If someone cant give u facts and figures, Call Nissan and get a PN# for your year car for brembo and standard M/C ---Also Performance Nissan Im sure would give u a good answer. Anytime u increase CCs of fluid in one location u have to compensate in another location. Thats the law----Of Hydraulics

Cant beat that ---Last kit I bought for Pantera fronts was like 150.00 apiece---There is a special assembly lube made for brake rebuilds that will help u a lot --Master cyls, calipers etc. Its slippery and compatable with fluids---I buy mine at Napa Auto Parts
If you have any questions on anything, just let me know.

If the master cylinders are all the same and the pedal force is defined by law, then the TOTAL caliper piston volume must be the same.
In theory regardless of number of pistons assumming same diameter of rotors the clamping force must be the same.
Something usually missed in the discussion of whether 2,4,6 piston calipers are better.
If you don't need to change master cylinder and the rotors are the same diameter no change in clamping forces, if anything just a more uniform distribution of the clamping forces with more pistons.
Members may not realize that 2 piston floating calipers act forcewise almost [95%] like 4 piston fixed calipers.
When you turn off ABS every oem brake system will lock the tires [at least up to 100 mph] if sufficient [less than 100 pounds] pedal pressure is applied.
