z32 rear parking brake question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I was doing my VLSD, 5 Lugs, energy bushings, and z32 brakes swap, on my hatchback all at one time when I realized I really want to rebuild my calipers before I put them on.

So here is my problem, I can't leave my car on jackstands any longer because my brother needs to use my daily driver. and I don't want to leave the parking brake off beacuse I don't want to have to take the hub off again when I my rear brakes are ready to be installed.

So here is my question, does anyone see any problems with using the Z32 parking brake with stock s13 rear calipers on S14 rotors? I'm thinking that it should work if I can make it fit.... I think?

Z32 uses a drum, there's no way to make it work using S13/S14 calipers, and the rotors won't fit over the assembly anyway.
