s14 rear brake upgrade.....questions on availability

[ELdrifto]

I did my fronts. I got my wheels. I hate losing my rear brake feel after I drift. Dammit i even got new calipers, lines, Pmu pads, Touge rotors, and still i want more and better. If any one can suggest something, even big rotor kits would be better. 300z rears seem to complicated, plus i don't have the real big earnings and time since i just bought a house. If the 300 is the only option, then plz detail the necessary stuff i got to buy.

Thanks

get the whole rear hub, hub assembly/brakes and the parking brake out of 90 and up NA 300zx. if you already don't have 5 lug then your in luck. it will actually bolt right up on your stock KA axles. probably the hardest(meaning time consuming) is shortening the parking cable.

i dunno if its a good idea to be using the parking brake on drifting though because the brake shoes are very thin.

also it will push your wheel out more because of the drum/disc combo.

Its not so hard if you simply buy R33 E-brake cables from vendors like mynismo.com then its just a direct bolt on. Its like $100 for a pair.

As far as the brake shoes being thin you have to realize that most brake shoes are like that, they are never as thick as brake pads. The 300ZX rear shoes are fine for drifting, if thats not enough mynismo.com sells a better upgraded Project Mu rear brake shoes specifically for this.

there is a difference though, the shoes on the 300zx is only used as a parking brake compare to a rear drum brake setup which is used for braking and parking brake so the 300zx parking brake shoes are very thin.

Ever look at a shoe set on a Honda Civic? Those things are about the same size and its used as a service brake. The drums are about the same size as well, tiny little thing it is. The rear brakes do very little even as a service brake, most of the braking is done up front anyways. When you drift you arent supposed to drag the brake, you use it to initiate a drift not drag it across the track, its ok to use them for initiating a drift though. And if thats not enough, like i said there is always project Mu brake shoes to offer high temperature usage if stock ones are glazing on you.

So is there a way of installing the TT brakes on the back. I've seen the twin piston and rotor set on a s14 before. I have the biggest dilema of making the E-brake handle hydraulic. I know Ksport sells one but i don't know if it'll mount up. I'ld rather have the caliper instead of the shoes. I want it to look clean and be well functional. Thanks for help guys.

See I understand the inner shoes but is there a way of fabbing the lines out so it can still work hydraulicly instead of linned. You know like all the newer rides keep only the hydraulic lines for both.
