Hey whats up guys i have 3 questions but furst let me explain... i picked up a j30 brake kit compleats or atleast very close to it... (pads, rotors, and calipers) my question is has anyone done the convertion in the rear because ive searched and cant find anything about the back brakes... second i felt a little dumb because when i snatched off my wheel to see if everything would fit it turns out that the j30 brake setup was too big for my wheel... with that being said does anyone know what size wheels i would need... last with the backcalipers on will i still have a ebrake because i think i read on line that the E brake setup was just like the z32 setup... thanks for all that help and sorry about the spelling i was never to good at it...

It all bolts right up.

Requires 15" wheels.

For parking brake you either need the J30 or Z32 full assembly.

We've been over this a dozen times before.

The parking brake is just that, a parking brake. The calipers don't care if the parking brake assembly is fitted, you just won't have a parking brake. Think about it.
