I was just about to post about this as well. I have an S13 myself and all the parts needed except the e-brake assembly. I was curious if the spindles and hubs allowed the appropriate space and bolt holes to attach the e-brake assembly to the S chassis spindles?

Anybody have any info? I'm trying to find the e-brake assembly since it's the only part I dont have. I was hoping someone has tried this before I grab this piece and find it wont work out.

Yep it'll work. but it takes a lot of work.

What you'll have to do is remove the hub from the upright, and mount the e-brake assembly between the two. There are holes on the e-brake assembly for the bolts to go through, so everything swaps in perfectly.. Remember, this brake setup was used on some 240sx's in jdmland, so it's basically a bolt on affair...

However... splicing up the z32 e-brake to the 240sx lines isn't very easy... That's the part that takes a lot of work...

Excellent... I wasnt aware that the S chassis had the seperate e-brake assembly on certain models in Japan. Getting the e-brake cables to work wont be an issue. I was concerned about having to put in a 300ZX upright.Thanks for the good news crzycav86.

Actually I did end up using the z32 upright, but not so I could use the e-brake... I used the z32 upright because they're a whole lot lighter than the s13 ones.
