Hi there,

Im currently upgrading the brakes on my Cefiro to Z32 brakes. I may eventually upgrade again however am keen to see how these go.

I've never had any experience in doing brake mods so this will be completely new for me. Im one of the sorts who will read a heap of info on places like here then attempt to do it.

Im going to drill out the brakes to suit the 4x114 hubs as i already have plenty of rims to suit 4 stud.

My question really is there any difference between an ABS master cylinder and not? Eg what should i be looking out for what purchasing one?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Byron,

After just helping ben with his brakes and my own experiences.. Non abs car, use a non abs m/cyl..

GTS are a 7/8" M/cyl bore (14/16")

gtst/gts25 are a 15/16" bore.

1/16" of an inch makes a huge hydraulic difference..

Thanks mate, will mount that bracket up tomorrow so will send you some pics, looks good.

Do you know whether there are any specific differences between the abs and non abs cylinder wise?

From what i've been told, abs is a bigger bore, but has more ports.. I could be wrong on this though..

Just stick with a non abs 15/16" bore.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
