Can't get any better than this. I did it on my s13, but s14 is basically the same.

Those links should take care of you...i recently completed this on my s14. The only things they dont really cover are...

1) if you decide to go with the R33 cables for the z32 ebrake, which i strongly recommend, you will have to make or relocate the bracket to mount in the original spot near the hub

2) i would strongly recomend using the z32 dust shield in the rear....providing you can get your hub bearing assembly off to replace it...i had to loosen the 4 bolts and then smack the bolts with a BFH to break it loose (make sure to hit them square and not round them off...or have new bolts available for when you put it back together...you will understand when you get to that point. I did not take the lower control arm off the knuckle as i didnt have a ball joint tool at that moment

3) make sure you get the ENTIRE ebrake assembly including the large nut at the top that goes through your knuckle. And take head that you will have to clean out this hole...and you need to make sure the hub bearing bolts are started and lined up before you tighten this all the way

4) if you dont already have the calipers wait and get the 30mm calipers. There are a ton of 26mm calipers out there, and although they work fine, i found out first-hand that rotors are hard if not impossible to come by locally. I had to end up ordering mine online and paying a hefty shipping price...this isnt such a big deal the first time but it will get old as you have to replace rotors and there is not as much aftermarket support for the 26mm rotors anymore. So my advice is pay a little more for the 30mm's and you will have availability for cheap and nice alternatives at your local parts store.

Other than that its pretty much common sense and self explanitory, esp with doing the reading with the links you have already been provided.

If you hit any major roadblocks let me know and i will be more than welcome to help best i can
