no you do not need the z32 slave. the stock s13 will fit.
get the z32 bmc tho. The bias will be alot better.
If you can i recommend getting the z32 booster as well. It provides a stronger vacuum

Z-32 slave cylinder??? The "slave cylinders" for the brakes are the calipers! The z-32 master is highly reccomended as it improves pedal feel, 17/16 would yeild the hardest pedal. I would reccomend that you do the rear braks conversion as well though. If you only do the z-32 fronts the front brakes will lock up very easily.

if your changing the front. i dont think changing the BMC is necessary but recommended.
if you change the rears as well, then change it.

S13 AUTO BMC - Slight upgrade (Slightly bigger so it's a cheap improvement)
Z32 BM50 BMC - Good upgrade (Great overall brake bias if you're only doing the fronts)
Z32 BM57 BMC - Best upgrade (As mentioned, easy to lock up with just fronts)
