I'm not a racer, so I don't know how much effect putting the 3/4 wheel
cylinders may have on overall brake performance. I.e., will it improve
baking overall? Nissan must have had a reason for increasing the size of the
rear wheel cylinders with the '67-1/2 cars.
I've never found the brakes on my '66 with 11/16 cylinders to be wanting, as
long as I stand on them hard enough.
