You can get the rear 300zx brakes but I have only heard of someone geting the e-brake to work with them once</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

But really.. I don't see how people get their rear brakes to work. z32 brakes use a drum style ebrake, don't they? Ours dont. It seems like way too much work to swap ebrake pieces.
I would (and did) only the front brakes. You probably don't wanna stop too much faster than z32 fronts will stop you, unless you are a true racer. My best suggestion to help even out the brake bias is to get some slotted rear rotors, and some grippy brake pads.. hawk, ebc... ect.
I did my front swap for about $480. Just a little over the $300 mark. Might wanna think about that. And check the FAQ section for what you need and how much it is.

OMF'nG!
I didn't realize that you said the upgrade runs UP TO $300!  LOL!!  PDM sells a kit for nearly $1k.  
And with gold slotted rotors, you can't get grippy pads, cuz they'll eat the cadmium plating and that will get clogged in the pad, and you wont stop worth crap!  Either shell out some $$$ and do it right, or drive slow cuz your never gonna stop well and be asthetically pleasing.  (This is why race car interiors are ugly... cuz they're made to work.)
