The Z32 and the R32 have drum in disk brakes on the back.  What I mean by that is that the when you're driving around and use the brakes the disk brakes are at work but when you pull the e-brake up you're actually locking the rear brakes with drum brakes that are on the inside.  One the S13's when you pull the e-brakes the cable just pulls the disk brakes and locks them.  The rear brake swap is pretty popular among drifters in Japan because the wheels lock up easier/better with the inner drum brakes.
