s13: z32 ebrake question

OK so I want to go 5 lug. I just bought the full 300ZXTT brake setup from a 92 model 26k miles in GREAT condition. The only problem is it doesnt come with anything to go inside the EMPTY rear drum/disc. I asked for the parts and the guy kept those for his new STOPTECH setup but he says he is getting a TT parts car that I can get them from soon. He is telling me that I HAVE to use only Z32 hub with the shoes. Is this correct? I explained that I had intended on getting the s5 conversion hubs front /rear but he says NO they wont work with this ebrake setup. Then he starts telling me I should get the inverted shocks and everything off the z32 to make it work right. ???

Anyway what pieces do I need to to go from my 240sx ebrake cable to the inside of this rotor? Just the shoes and the ebay cable adapter?
How much does the whole brake-shoe assy typically go for? Am I better off buying that new from somewhere?

Also He threw in the stock 300zx lines and they are like friggen new as well . Can I use those or do I need to get the conversion ones?

My car is 91 S13 ABS model.... which z32 master cylinder is best? 17/16? Where is the best place to get it?
BTW Search Nazi's... ... LOL... I DID and it resulted in confusion and alot of circle talking Please somebody just give me a straight answer. Thanks in advance.

Lastly will I need ANYTHING else more besides 5 lug wheels and a z32 master cylinder to complete the 5 lug/ brake swap? (I have all rotors, calipers, pads, OEM z32 lines and I plan to get the s5 conversion hubs from redsh!ft)

Off topic waddup joe.. It's Thai from A-L.com. I ended up in an S14...

Z1 motorsports sells lots of used Z32 parts. They are based out of Carrolton GA. I'de go w/ a 1 1/16 MC. eBay is your friend for the BMC.

The Hub joint, I'm not sure. mabey beacuse of your ABS you may nned the Z32 hubs.. I belive on the S14 all you need is the Z32 rotor, ebake shoe, conversion lines (the Z32 lines are too short to use) .

Check www.importnut.net that prob is the best guide for the swap.

Z32 NA hubs.
Z32 ebrakes, TT or NA, same parts.
Z32 2+2 cables.

TT hubs won't work, neither will 2seat cables.

Uprights are not needed unless you want to use them.

And you didn't search if you're confused.

Wassup! Yeah I miss the Legend from time to time. Yours was the cleanest on this coast. So you don't have it anymore? I wanted those JIC coilovers!

Anyway thanks for the Nico link the pictures explained it all. So I pretty much just need a NA z32 spindle/upright and a pair of z32 rear shocks with some cable adapters from ebay. I will check out Z1 for the 17/16 MC too.

I guess I just didnt know the proper terminology to type in the search because z32 brakes and 5 lug didnt result in very much. UPRIGHTS showed the relevant threads.

I saw another post you were selling the uprights/ spindle-hub with ebrake assy? Do you still have them for sale? I need everything except the rotors and calipers. I also need the forks if you have those.

oh no what a sick feeling. Hopefully you were able to salvage some of the aftermarket parts.

I'm not sure what z32 cables i'm running, but i ran them anyway without the eBay cable extension, just doesn't go/bolt onto the stock locations, i got the idea from iirc sportcompactonly.com or something like that, article on a flat black sr silvia with brembo gt brakes, it has pictures showing how he did it

150 usually for the ebrake system with cables..... and thats all the MC.. i suggest anyone from a z32 doent really matter... because im running a z31 MC with full z32 brake swap... on a s14.... no tt 5 lug hubs , only z32 na and s14 hubs... venus sells the rear hubs for 100 bucks... a pair..i suggest replacing the bearings....100 bucks each from any parts store... or even cheaper if u want to press them in urself...
