So I want to swap my Z32 30mm front brakes onto my S13. And I liked the feel of the 15/16 when it was on my S14. So I foudn that Z31 & S12 have 15/16 BMC. Was curious which Z31 (turbo or na, does it matter?) and if it's a direct drop in unlike the Z32 BMC where you have to put the extra piece in.

And second.

My E-brake cables are poo. I know their stretched it's 21years old and has alot of miles and my vehicle used to belong to a drifter so I'm sure it's seen better days.

Just curious which cable I should replace so that I can actually park on hill without putting it in gear.

I was quoted

37.50 for the front park brake cable from nissan
80.10 each for rear left or right park brake cable from nissan.

Should I replace all 3? or just the rears or just the front? Anyone know where I can find them cheapers? BTW that's Cost + 15%. Like a generic brand. I know Napa sold parking brake cables for my S14 but not the S13

Thanks

Have you tried tightening the e-brake handle ? There's a 10mm(?) nut that will loosen or tighten the tension.

My Z master cyl came with the fitting installed. Some do, some dont. Cables, you will need the rears. Front probably couldnt hurt though.
