    Brake Master cylnder replacement

    Hi guys.Could anybody suggest a replacement for a stock GQ brake master cylinder? They have some here from Taiwan but I just don't trust the lengevity on those. The Pathfinder WD21 seems close but with a slightly smaller bore (15/16). Any suggestions?

    Use PBR brand or OEM....And use the right one. Not one from another make. Unless its the same cylinder....

    I've read somewhere advising not to use after market ones for this.
    RB30, some 2-3 inch lift auxiliary LPG tanks
    Few more mods on the way

    A smaller bore will see your pedal go further to the floor.
    maybe even to a point you run out of pedal before you reach the required breaking force.
    have an accident and wipe your insurance!.
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
    THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE

    Yeah, one thing we shouldn't cut corners is the braking system repairs. Just not worth the trouble of saving few dollars by buying aftermarket spares for
    any braking hydraulic parts.

    Is the gq a single cavity reservoir; as in if you tear a line will you loose both front and rear breaks?
