Anyone know if s14 and and s13 rear e brake cables are interchangeble?

They aren't the same part. You can more than likely make them work though as they are just cable setups.

What are you trying to accomplish though?

I put R33 brakes on my S14 and the R33 GTST cables were an exact fit once I moved my S14 brackets at the rear over.

My cables are stretched, they jus need to be replaced as they hardly lock.

I'd just go with the right cables for the car. If you want to play with adapting things I'd rather keep the stock cables loosen up the adjuster all the way and recrimp they end on it at a tighter setting until you can get the right cables for the car. Also you need to figure out what stretched.

It could be the intermediate cable between the handle and where the two to the rear brakes junction.

try nissan-auto-parts-dealer.com, courtesyparts.com or nissanpartscheap.com before buying locally...even with shipping these guys are usually much cheaper.

If you have the budget this may be a good time to go with Z or Skyline brakes.

The cables are about $75 a pop.
