The Z's and the skylines shared the same brakes. So a 30mm caliper and rotor should mate fine. As far as I know

I can definitely vouch for the rears being identical. I have Z32 calipers and rotors matched up to an R32 e-brake assembly.

I'm not too sure about those. I've never seen them before. Can you email him and get the instructions?

Cables from a 2+2 Z32 will fit, but you'll have to do the routing through the subframe technique to make it work. Most junkyards with a Z should have them

Courtesy sells R32 cables, which reportedly fit perfectly and in the stock location. They are pricey as they're a JDM only item being sold brand new from a dealership.

The second link isn't really important, he does mention the rerouting technique for S13s. This tutorial covers S14s, but the installation in the first link will be identical. Except you'll be keeping your 4 lug hubs (I assume). Also, do some searching on our site. We have a lot of info covered, and there was a big thread in the convertible forum a while ago that went in depth on the rear setup.
