hey guys! need some e-brake assembly help!
Bought assemblies off chouwee off here a longggg time ago, loafted so hard on putting these together lol.

anyways I was following this pic from the FSM (posted on "The definitive 300zx brake swap page")

and I got this far:

Z32_1 by wilwmak, on Flickr

-I haven't put anti-rattle pins all the way in yet, since I haven't figured out how to put the return springs in?
Also is the adjuster screw in the right way or does it not matter?
Does it look ok so far? this was like..20 mins worth of figuring things out/putting together/making sure I have everything.

I also have this stuff I couldn't figure out what they're for cause they weren't in the FSM pic:

Z32_2 by wilwmak, on Flickr
(other than the 4 return springs I couldn't figure out where to put.)
I just want to assemble this at home so when I get my rotors and pads done I can just throw this in at the shop.

Noob here sorry guys.
Not gonna use z32 uprights, don't wanna get other shock mounts
and yes I already have R33 e-brake lines.
Thanks

the 2 return springs connect from the little stud on top of baffle plate and then connect to the small hole in shoe

and the left over parts on right are piece of e-brake cable which is garbage just keep nut

you may have to take it appart again if yoou dont have e-brake cable in

awesome thanks! I got everything in. Well it really doesn't take that long to take apart and put back together but where does the R33 e-cables hook up to? I don't have an e-brake assembly to compare to on the S14 right now as it didn't come with any e-brake assemblies.

Thanks!

Also don't know how far I should adjust the adjuster screw.

the e-brake cable hooks into the J shaped arm mounted on brake shoe (its in the pic lower right side)

the e-brake cable is bolted on back of baffle plate with the 10mm or 12mm nut (cant remember)

hope that helps
