Convert complete Z32 5 lugs and calipers swap, anyone done it before? I heard the brake line conversion kit for the rear calipers are the must is that true?

Yes. Very easy swap. I did the full 5lug with Z32s on a friend's car, S13, and Z32s on my own car, S14 SE. You don't really need "conversion" lines to use Z32 calipers, there are other options available. I used an extra crush washer for over a year with no problems, then switched to Goodridge lines. They supply a shorter banjo bolt that makes it even easier. Everything else is a direct swap except for the e-brake cables, you'll need to either buy or fabricate an adapter to connect them to the brake handle. http://www.projectsilvia.com sells them, I made mine.
