Different master cylinder for series 1 and 2 240z? does it matter which one??

It does matter which output on the master cylinder is used for the front and rear brakes. The rear (drum) brakes require a residual pressure check valve which is built into the mater cylinder. If you uses this for the front (disk) brakes they will drag due to the residual pressure and cause problems. Also, a somewhat lesser issue is the brake fluid reservoir volume. The front brake reservoir is larger to accommodate the slave cylinder (caliper) piston travel as the brake pads wear. If you use the small reservoir for the front and do not add brake fluid as the pads wear you could run out of brake fluid and get air in the system causing brake failure while driving.
