Is it possible to use the REAR Z32 Hub/Bearing on the REAR S13 upright AND USE the Z32 Rear Brakes/Drum E-Brake?

I'm pretty sure you can. Not to be rude, but in your other thread you said you already had the parts. Take some time and pull of the wheel and rotor and just have a look.

Let us know what you find...

Thank you, and I did not mean to be repetitive or rude either. I realize that I did not ask the right question for the answer that I was looking for. But thank you for answering my questions and not leaving me hanging. I did pull off the rotor and wheel, and checked to see that everything fitted and was wondering if the offset would be affected as I am planning to use the Z32 rims (just to get me by for now), and I didn't want anything to rub or look funny. My goal was trying to bypass using the Z32 upright.

Thanks again.

No problem, man. Now that I think about, it has to bolt onto the S13 spindle. That would be the only way to do the swap without using the Z spindle, and I know thats possible to do.

The specs on the Z wheels are 16x7.5 +45. The turbo model has the same wheels in the front and 16x8.5 +35 in the rear. While they wont look spectacular, they are good wheels to get ya by for awhile...

Everything transfers from knuckle to knuckle.S13 is cast iron with pin lower strut mountZ32 is cast aluminum with eyelet fork style strut mount

Both accomodate Z32 shoe style parking brake.
