I'm putting some 300zx brakes on the rear of my S14. Do I need Z32 spindles and lines to keep my e-brake working?

No spindles, but you do need the backing plates, which contain the e-brake mechanism, in order to retain the e-brake. You might also want to obtain the e-brake cable from the 300z.

Yes that would be it. The e-brake is integrated into the dust shield.

ok i just installed the 300z brake up grade on my 1995 240sx, all the parts i got are from a non-turbo z so these are the 26mm rotors. which handbrake cable do i use since the one that came with it is too short and also can the twin turbo z calipers fit on my non turbo rotors
