You are going to have to buy these to adapt the cables. Or make your own, a member on nico makes them in the fabricators market.

Save your money, go to ACE hardware, get those small ( the smallest) U-clamps they have close to the key-copy section, get six of them. Take the cables that were on your car and cut both at the end that attaches to the handle. peel back the coating on both Z32 and original ends, don't clamp them together with the plastic coating or they will slip. you will need to cut about six inches from the original cables. make sure you take up the slack good before you clamp (three clamps each end), re-install the original end (clamped to the Un-cut Z32 lines) to the T-bracket coming out of E-brake handle, do alot of adjusting (don't forget the bolt under the E-brake handle to tighten up things) And will need to adjust the shoes them selves too before installing the rotors. I've been running like this for a year without issues.(I know i'm gonna get all kinds of hell for this from all the haters here)

The short cables work fine.

I use the short cables on mine without the adpater brackets.

All you have to do is route them another way. Instead of over the crossmember go through the little oval hole under the tension rod mount on the subframe then up to the T. Your going to have to use a solid L bracket but it works.

I use the Z32 regular cable. Not the 2+2 and it works fine.
