i'm planning on doing a z32 rear brake up grade to my 89 240. Do i need any special parts or does every thing bolt up?

yes you will need brackets for the front calipers, and i would reccomend changing to a 5 lug hub too. the backs will mount right up. But you will have no parking brake if you change the rears, but you can fix that too

The entire drum brake assembly. I believe the hardware will bolt to the S13 rear uprights. You'll likely need the e-brake cable as well.

you'll have to splice the e-brake cable..which is touchy at best. Re-routing it is a PITA also. You could try and find someone who can custom make one...that'd be your best bet. Not sure if anyone's made this part for bolt-p purposes yet.

just stick with the fronts. the back as everyone else has stated is a PITA. with jsut front z32 calipers your bias is still ~75%-25%. not ideal but pretty good.

Performance Nissan sells R33 Skyline e-brake cables. These fit perfectly. No splicing required
