They are supposed to work I think. The rear subframe is familiar.I was going to pick up a complete rear subframe for a J30 and I was told that the e-brake stuff will work too for my Z32 conversion. But I got the whole aluminum knuckles and everything from a Z32 for 100$ so I'm just gonna use that now.

I'm still picking up that J30 whole rear subframe... So I'll compare them to the Z32 stuff and let you know as soon as I get everything in my possession and tore apart.

I haven't really looked at the J30 set-up outside of the rotors, but if you do go this route grab everything you can. The cables, brake lines, the parking shoes, as complete as you can.If you do run the drum parking brake, make sure you grab them shoes. They are a dealer only item, and I paid $110 for the set. Thats right, over a hundred dollars for 2 pairs of brake shoes. I was expecting a tech to jump out of the box and install the parts.

I think spending money on better rubber makes more stopping power than brake upgrades.
