I did the front and rear 5 lug w/ actually r33 rotors and calipers. I also added 300 ebrakes for the rear and rerouted the ebrake lines to attach. The problem I am having is that in order to make the ebrakes work a little I have to pull the handle up all the way. I have the nut on the ebrake adjustment all the way tight. Has anyone done this conversion and have any suggestions????

Sound like you need a shorter cable, or some spacers maybe. Is there anyway that you can shorten the cable? Or maybe get someone to do it for you? I forget what the actual mount looks like, but maybe you could put some washers in there.

At least you can re-rout them. I tried that on the s14 and no luck. Had to splice, and it has been the single most pain in the *** thing on my car. I hear that R33 ebrake cables work, but im having trouble finding a set.

I wish I got the e brake system off the r33 but I only got the brakes. I know most people do the fronts but I couldn't find pics of the rear done. I want some pics of it done if possible. The best source of info is for the s14 build up. I need an s13 experience.
