does anyone know of a 2 piston rear caliper for the 240SX that allows you to retain the integral e-brake? The Z32 rear requires you to have a seperate drum for the e-brake. I have Z32 fronts and was looking for something less intensive when it came to the rear

I remember seeing that you can splice the Z32 ebrake cables with the 240's. I'll go look for it.

I dont have nearly all the mnoney to do that. I would rather just do the Z32 rears with the drum assembly. I dont have money flowing out of my arse to do this with. I was just looking for a nice, bolt on rear 2 piston caliper for the 240.

any other caliper that could be modified to use would require a custom bracket.

theres no way to do it without some modification.

hope that answers your question :P

I'd say to use the 240 BMC for awhile at least. The Z32's are very powerful and tend to lock easily the master cylinder upgrade coupled with that will make for some sphincter shrinkers.

But is there any known bolt on options (2-4 pistons) for the rear? I heard that if you have Z32's all around you should upgrade the MC. Mainly for pedal feel

Not really. Do the 26mm Z32 rears already. Unless you want a full on wilwood kit or something then your options have been outlined.
