Ok, I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but o well. I have ordered R32 GT-S Brakes. I'm having these re-drilled for a 4 lug application. Have to get new brakes. Getting only the fronts for now.

But my question is this. What else will I need besides the steel braided conversion lines? And if I do decied later on to do the rears? Will i need some special thing so that I can use my e-brake? Thanks everyone, your help is appreciated.

No flames, though they are basically the same as Z32 brakes, so if you paid more than you'd pay for Z32 brakes, you got hosed <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Conversion lines should be all you need.  Um, and new fluid, and pads.

The R32 GTS-t has the same type of rear brake as the Z32, but considering it has a longer wheelbase, the R32 GTS-t handbrake cables might reach.

unless they use the same rotors/pads as the Z32, you will also have a v. hard time finding rotors and pads. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

werd. if it was GTR R32 i can see. they are built differently the z32, wont fade at all. better air flow/cooling design. at least that's what i've heard on them..

anyways,
ebrake you'll need a kit, i believe projectsilvia is releasing one soon. r32 and z32 use same sort of setups.
