I've had 1000's for about 28 years
Disc brakes on them for about 20 yrs
And never have I used or needed a booster
I'll give you a tip
The piston diameter in your R31 rear calipers are only 1.5" in diameter
They don't apply alot of force to the disc
If you ran say... 2" pistons you would find the effort required to be much less
So if say you could find a pair of Girlock front calipers that will go onto the same brackets
They also have 2 1/8" pistons and will change the characteristics and pedal feel immensely
This would facilitate the need for a larger master cylinder though.. .and making a pushrod to suit
I have used the 11/16, 3/4 and 13/16 masters on my cars
The pedal height changes and firms up the larger cylinder you go
My wagon currently runs a 13/16 and I like the firmness and can certainly stop
3/4 might be a good compromise for most people
Commodore rear is also 1.5" so no point changing to those... as its the same size as the R31
Unless your calipers have an issue thats causing it
But I believe that setup is too small personally
