Are the S13 and S14 rear calipers interchangeable, assuming that the S14 is a non-ABS model? I need a replacement right rear caliper, and I found someone selling a very nice rear set from a '91 S13, all cleaned up, and I'd like to get them and use them if I can.

I tried to search around on this, but there's too many Z32 brake threads to sort through. Can anyone help me out?

Because the dust boot on the piston got torqued around. It's ok for right now, but I won't be able to re-tighten it the next time I do a pad change.

So I need a new one, anyone know if the S13 calipers will work?

I just read something over on Zilvia about the ebrake cable being possibly incompatible? Does anyone know anything about this?

I really want these calipers because they're very nice and very cheap, but I have to be sure I can use them.

I'm pretty sure the e-brakes are not interchangable.. Different for each car..

the piston size is different, the S14 piston is larger.

you know you can change just the piston seal, right? it's a pain in the ***, but for $10 or so, it's worth it.

No, I actually had no idea. Any particular place I'd have to go to get one? Is it tough to do?

any parts place should have a seal kit. i know for a fact that autozone has a kit for the s13, other than that, you'll have to check around.

it's a bit of a pain to get the seal around the piston and around the lip on the caliper, but it can be done. i had to fight with it for about half an hour when i did it on my old car.
