all u have to do is redrill the rotors to 4 lug
its not rocket science

jamik_69 · 07-15-2003, 01:18 PM

well then you have to deal with the calipers and the e-brake line do the calipers bolt right on do you have to change master cylinders? its more then just re-drilling the rotors

ya hcnage the MC for best response and balance
you will need to fab/customize the brake lines

www.projectsilvia.com should have a 'conversion' set for sale soon, check their site (might already be selling?)

The Z32 calipers will mount to the spindles w/o a problem.
You might want to get some new brake lines made for this application, no very necessary, but recommend. www.takamotorsports.com sells them
The M/C can be left alone, but it will feel sluggish, change to the Z32 if you want to feel the full-force response of the Z32 M/C.
The e-brake line is not as hard as one would think, you can use come steel line clamps, it'll work and be safe, I used 3 on each line, total of 6 just to be on the safe side. It will work for the moment, until you buy the projectsilvia conversion, which is nice ... but .. Whatever...

For some reason, I was under the impression that in order to have an ebrake with 300zx rears, you had to go 5-lug because the ebrake was built into the rotor hat? is this not the case?

Dousan_PG · 07-15-2003, 01:48 PM

when i took apart my hub from spindle (still had drum on it) seems you could stay 4 lug and do it. i am pretty sure drift freaq might know more.

to me, from what i saw, you could stay 4 lug, the hub was separate from the internal drum setup and soforth

the e-brake assembly is on the dust sheild, which bolts between the hub and the spindle.

On the S13, brake bias is off w/ the OEM MC.

isn't there a small adjustment screw? the philips head "screw" at the end of the z32 MC (and IIRC the z32 and S13 MC's had a similar layout) looks like it regulates rear brake bias.

I'd look up the S14 MC but my FSM is in my car
