Z32 calipers ebrake ?'s - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Okay so I'm gathering parts to do the Z32 caliper upgrade. What will I need for the ebrake to work with the calipers? Will this work, or will I need the drum ebrake from the Z32? Genuine OEM Nissan E-Brake Cable 300ZX 2+2 LEFT S13 with Z32 brakes

I've looked at it already and it only mentions the cables. So all I'll need is the cables and the Z32 calipers? I read elsewhere that I need the ebrake drums from a Z32 so I just wanted to make sure.

Is this even a question? Are you asking if you're going to need the ebrake from the Z32 to use the ebrake from the Z32?

The drums are part of the rotors, if that helps.
It says everything you need on the list.

There is a rear dust plate between the hub and the spindle that holds the whole drum style e-brake assembly in place behind the rotor.

You're going to need those plus the shoes, the adjuster springs, and all the little knick nacks that hold it together that you can see in those two pics. If possible try to find someone parting out a 300zx or the brakes that way you can get everything you need. Or go to a nissan dealer, have them pull up the diagram and buy everything.

Thanks snake, exactly what I needed! Sorry I didn't explain myself better.

No problem. Those pics are from the link that Drift 86 posted. I used that for when I did the conversion to my S14. Though that guy doesn't explain in detail each individual part but he does say under the required parts list "non-turbo Z32 e-brake/splash shield setup" and he has a diagram pic of the setup at the bottom of the page which shows all the pieces. Which should help you source everything you need and show you how to put them together. It's not that hard to assemble. Here's the pic he has on that page.

That looks expensive from courtesy nissan... anyone got any other sources? If not I'll just wait and hope to snag it off ebay.

Edit: Found someone selling them on the fresh alloy forums, god I love the Nissan community.
