    Pathfinder BMC in an R32 gts4

    So I recently replaced my brake master with one from a 91 Pathfinder. Main difference is the r32 has 2 ports for front and rear brakes. The pathfinder has 3. Both front calipers are independent. All I did was buy two 3/16"X8" premade brake lines and a 3/16" brake line tee. Basically take both lines from the front ports and tee them together, then take your existing line and run that into the tee. Done! Bleed it out and it works perfectly. Abs functions normally and braking power is dramatically improved as the pathfinder bmc has a 1" bore.



    You will have to rebend the existing line to mate up with the new tee, just be careful not to kink the line.

    Could be done very easily, but you would loose front wheel abs.

    Isn't the BMC the same size/design as the 300zx except the oem 300zx were made by tockito and the pathfinder were made by PBR? Anyways, I think the pathfinders are generally cheaper for the same thing.

    I think so. The pathfinder is also Tokico and retails for +- $300. I get my parts at cost so I only paid $65 for it.

    wow $300 is steep, i've seem them as cheap as $70 (centric and raybestos) but dont trust either of them. $100 PBR and $120 tokico at autoparts warehouse.
