Well, I have almost everything, im to the point where im piecing together the backing plates and shoes and lines.

My question is, in your opinion, what is the Cheapest or easiest route you would take when it comes with the EBrake lines?

1) R33 GTST
2) Splice the s14 and z32 breaks
3) Whatever other option you may have?

If you have a S14 its as simple as buying R33 ebrake cables direct bolt on. I have ebrake assemblys if you need them. Check my signature link. If you have a S13 Z32 ebrake cables.

Sorry Unisa, I have sourced some for 80$ shipped with Z32 2+2 lines.

Thanks though.

@ Max PSI - The R34 Lines bolt up in the same location as the S14 lines where ran?

Basically the same as the R33 GTST Lines?

I didn't install them myself, but they were what I bought from Carlos, A.K.A. Slidin240wayz. He said they came off an R34.

R33 and R34 cables are the same, both are direct fit to S14. I can probly get you some R33 cables if you need them.

Are they mounted in the location where the stock cables where ran at?

Or did they reroute/mount them?

We've been over this for several years now. R33/R34 cables are a direct fit replacement when using Z32/R32/R33/R34 rear parking brake assemblies on an S14. It's literally so easy even zilvia members can do it.

The Z32 2+2 would be ideal for S13's

Sweet Jesus ppl!!!

If you fucking searched you have noticed that when you swap the Z32 uprights in the rear you need to switch the lower shock mounts of the coil overs to bolt it up!

So obilviously if you wanna save money swap the fucking ebrake shield so you can use the stock coilover mounts.

Damn

Let me google that for you (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=300ZX+Brake+Swap)

Was that so fucking hard

Um.... We wern't asking about the uprights?

This is the eBrake dude.

And I personally chose not to use the z32 uprights, because im not buying new coils.

Im not gonna lie, i didnt completely rear your post, me and everyone here are tired of seeing Z32 swap threads poping up after the thousands of threads ppl have posted before.

Nothing has changed

But still its not rocket science,

Swap shields
connect Ebrake
bolt everything up
Drive

That link i poste will still help you out.

I know how do it, im just getting opinions on the best price to pay for what way.

It's an opinion thread, not a 'How do I do this' Because personally, ive had my fair share of research and have read so much I feel like I know it like the back of my hand.

Dude there is only two ways to do a Z32 rear Ebrake swap

1) swap uprights
2) swap over E brake shields

Obilviously the swapping of Ebrake shields is gonna be the cheapest seeing that you wont have to buy rear coil over lower mounts
That is if you have the correct King pin

Those are not the only ways to do it.

Backing plates and shoes + R33 cables and your done.

This is what i refer to as the king pin

ther are two differnt types this one is "Thick" so you can swap it over to the the S13/14 uprights if you dont have tabbed hubs, if you do you can cut the tabs off

if you have a "Thin" king pin then you need tabbed hubs or add a spacer to space it out farther (not my Pics)

He's dead on, this is all seriously beaten to death information, I myself was doing rear Z brakes in 1997, not like anyone hasn't learned since then.

My above post finalized it, there is no easier or cheaper way on an S14 than using R33 cables.

Done.

Lock thread.
