    EVOSTI-Hahaha, im not really sure myself....
    Yeh i was thinkn the same just anoying bleeding the brakes that high in the system, takes ages for the air too pass.

    WDE BDY-I couldnt tell you to be honest, The Real Roadrunner did the conversion for me. I remember hearing that the abs and non abs masters were different,thats the only differences i knew about. Mine has 2 ports if that helps....
    Id have to say no,what i mentioned is all that was replaced in the conversion.
    When i went and got it emissions tested the guy said the rear brakes need looking at, they work just not well. Been too lazy too have a look.

    Would it work instead of running the front brake line feed from master thru a straight joiner avoiding the distribution block?
    who said you couldnt make a ae86 rear quarter outa bog,fibreglass and expanding foam!!

    the stock proportioning valve on mine was gunked up a few years back after i did the hilux converion. i had a really hard pedal and the fronts locked up easily, turns out i was getting no pressure to the rears at all. pulled apart the factory prop valve and cleaned it out, all was sweet.
    might be worth a look.

    Did you take everything out completely, so your rear brake getting 100%? I want to something similar to mine too, but I'm going to use a genuine rear disc proportioning valve from Jap ae86. Just not looking forward to pulling everything out and redo the lines

    I was told that a R33 Skyline Booster/master is a straight swap for ae86, does anyone know which model it is exactly?

    the maso bolts straight on. all the silvia/skyline have the same bolt pattern but they do have different bore sizes. not sure which one you will need but i would go for an r32 gtst one and remove the proportioning valve as the skyline has an inbuilt one.

    The R32? do you have any idea what size bore? 1" or close to it? and they will bolt straight in?

    Thanks

    i think there 15/16 and they bolt straight on. s14 are same and have a nicer res on them.
    s14 would probly be better as they had single slider rear so the internal prop valve may be better for your application.

    Tom, i didnt gut my prop valve at the time, but i did about a year ago when i put an aftermarket valve on. it would have been better to get new fittings to completely remove the old valve but im lazy.
