My qustion is :

If your SE is 5 lug, it should be a straight swap.

I suggest getting brake lines from SPL Parts. They're great quality lines, and they're affordable.

As with all projects, be ready for some weird problems to pop up. Like with mine, the rear e-brake fought me 100% through the install. The rear hubs wouldn't come out to let me swap the heatshield, and then the Z parts were being a pain to install.

What ebrake cables are needed for a s13? z32 or r33? I heard z32 ones work fine?

Make sure that the brake hoses have the hardline that connects the hoses to the caliper, or you'll have to make them like I did. You'll also have to trim the lip off the splash guard and bend it back a bit to avoid rubbing on the new rotor. A disc grinder will do the trick.I only have the fronts swapped, so I won't mention the rear since I'm not 100%. They were super easy to install though. Just make sure you get a few bottles of brake fluid though.
