Hey guys i just bought some r32 front and rear calipers 30mm. i was just wondering what i would need for the e brake. I know that if i remove the s13 rear calipers i wont have any e brakes. Do i just need the z32 cables? or the whole e brake assembly. I wanna stay 4 lug btw. i read many posts but i get so confused and need someone to tell me specifically. any help would be very very very appreciated. oh and i can use z32 master cylinder for the calipers since it is alike?

You need the entire rear assembly if you want to have an e-brake.

This tells you everything you need to know and yes you can use the z32 master cylinder.

You can use either master cylinder, but it might be cheaper to get one from a z32.

This is also helpful information.

they are all the same every r32 r33 z32 have the same rear brakes you just need the whole ebrake assembly

you could keep the 4lug but you need to redrill the rotor/drum and you need the longer anchor bolt that the z32 offers and as for cable you need the 2+2 z32 cable.

as for the shoes only nissan makes them and they are not that cheap so dont use them too much for those drift entrys
