Theyre the same brakes?

On a side note a32 chassis brakes are the same as 300zx brakes, 30mm i think? Dont quote me on which size...

Most don't.
Some does.

I did . . cause I like to "finish" the job.

If you don't . . it'll be a little soft on the pedals . . mushy.

I hate mushy pedals. Remind me of chevy brakes. Theyre notorious for that.

You dont really need the MC from the Z, bleed the brakes and you should be fine.

99.9% of the time, mushy brakes just mean you need to bleed the brake a few times. we bled the system in our Formula D car 3 - 4 times when we installed the R32 calipers in the front. Ran some ATE Blue Brake Fluid and it ran like a champ all season long.

oh yeh, Project Mu B Spec pads FTW!
and I mean B Spec, not B Force.
