If you mean having two calipers on each rotor, you would probably need to custom fabricate a bracket for the second caliper.
Do you want the second calipers to be handbrake activated?

Are you sure you know how many inches are in a metric pound on those calipers!? The imbalance could distort your wheels and cause your tires to have reverse wear.

ok google search... dual rear calipers

yes it is possible... a fabed or custome braket will be needed and the use of a hydro e break will prob be your best choice for drifting.

regular caliper will engage with your break pedal and the second caliper will be directly plumbed to your hydro e break.

thus keeping pads fresher with use and being able to use your pedal to slow the car while you lock up the rear tires with e break. keep in mind that your rotors will be doing more work since there will be pressure on either side of the rotor and not letting it cool as efficently. slotted or dimpled/drilled rotors are a must or your going to warp them things quick.

this is assuming its a track car for drifting. i believe that JRs mustang has a set up simmilar and i remember that millen's solstice had a somethig to that effect

as for the z32 e break set up i think it uses a drum break but i could be wrong. either way you wouldnt use that part. just the caliper so you would have to remove/bypass that set up

the z32 e-brake suks a big fat one. there's nothing wrong with having a separate caliper for a hydraulic e-brake. The aston martins have that set sup on their sports cars.

Well I have been doing reseach and there are kit for that but i can't find for 240sx and I saw here in Puerto Rico a s13 use that but i don't know the owner of the car and i like the set up because the car is for show but is a Drift purpose show car and I have another set of z32 caliper but my friend has a pair of z32 4 piston caliper that i want to put in the rear for normal brake and the 2 pisto for the hydro e-brake. I just need help to make the setup. :)

I think the majority of drivers in D1 and Formula D have dual caliper and hydro set ups. I say if you have the money, go for it. Check out DB-power
