I just bought some rear 300zx calipers and Im not sure if they're bolt on's to my s13. I think i have to get the 300zx spindle or knuckle.

What do you think?

What you REALLY need is the backing plate for the parking brake (including the huge a** retaining nut) parking brake shoes and hardware, Z32 rotors, 5 lug hub bearing, either conversion hydraulic lines or the stock Z32 lines (they are just longer than the conversion lines) parking brake cables and a little over a foot of 1" x 1/8" steel (or aluminum) strap to make your own extensions.All of the brake hardware will bolt onto your stock spindles.

depending on which z32 calipers and which stock rims ur car has(if they r still stock) u might not need to go 5 lug. the calipers might clear already or they might clear with a mere 5mm spacer, it also might take a bigger spacer but i wouldnt really recomend going any bigger, just doesnt seem safe to me. but if u can clear it with ur 4 lug rims, all u need to do is get the z32 rotors drilled to fit ur lug pattern and that will save u the cost of paying for a 5 lug conversion+new rims and tires. but if u dont mind spending the money and plan on doing all that right now anyways, i guess this doesnt really matter then.
