I have just recently upgraded both my front and rear brakes to r33 gtr brakes which are very similar to the z32's. I am currently stuck on finding ways to make my e-brake lines work. I tried using clamps to attach the s13 and half cut lines on the rear brakes but they just keep slipping off. Ive searched for threads here but seems like others are only upgrading the fronts or dont have a definite answer to the ebrake lines.

Ive read: http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htmBut I am not certain if the his conversion on his s14 is the same on the s13.

I narrowed it down to either the z32 2+2 lines or the r33's.

r33: http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=3585z32: http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=5682

Basically what my question is if the z32 or r33 brake lines are going to work on my s13 or if anyone else has used other methods for making the ebrake lines work. Also, are the lines different on the reg z32 and z32 2+2? Or are they both the same?

the 2+2 z32 lines should work for an s13, where the r33 lines should work for an s14 I think both have to be rerouted through the subframe.

I personally used a set of 1991 to 1994 b13 sentra (not SE-R) lines for my S13 300 zx brake conversion, lots of length, fit the stock holes and subframe locations but took some modding to get them into the backing plate, If I get some time I am gonna take one side loose and make a writeup with pics.
