They are both metal but thats it

You could have found this out on google or searching on here.

They're different. z32 rear ebrake is a drum brake, so the rotor design itself is different.

damnit, well that is all....thanks

They're exactly the same unless you consider the Z32 is one inch larger, wider, and vented.

One thing that I cant get clear from the many threads I read are will the Z32 hubs bolt up to the S14 or do I need SE hubs in order to use the Z32 brake parts... I'm aware of the backing plate modifications needed for the Z32 e-brake but still not clear on the hubs themselves.

If you have 5 lug rear hubs then you can use Z32 rear rotors, as long as you have Z32 rear calipers to go with them rotors....

Haha good for a laugh.

IMHO z32 rears are not worth the effort to get & install.

And e-brake cables (modified) and modified rear backing plates, and if I remember correctly something else...

The e-brake is a drum style instead of using the caliper, which is a benifit as it grips MUCH better than a standard caliper style e-brake but is a PITA to setup.

No modification required for the backing plates, and none for the cables if you use R33s.

That's of course if you choose to use an ebrake. As far as the hub, S14 SE/Z32 work fine, or an S13 hub with a redrilled rotor to 4lug. Ebrake hardware still works fine on either model.
