There doesnt seem to be very many options for the S13 / S14. Besides the traditional OEM nissan upgrades ie. Z32 Rear Brakes. What options do we have with the rear.
I personally am looking for Larger front and Rear brakes. The only ones I have stumbled across are these AP Racing BBK by Stillen, front 6 Piston Caliper and 4 Piston rear, both on a 2 piece rotor.

14.25" LOL!

Is there anything similar and or specific with an ebrake? or is that out of the question and the only route is z32 drum assem.

i was under the impression that the AZcar brakes didnt have a ebrake - which is what he's lookin for.

you could always get that ksports hydro ebrake. it can go inline and it has a lock on it.

call up stoptech. monster rotors + monster calipers = permanent seatbelt marks !!!

I'm not sure if you have the internal e-brake/drum off a z32. If you do, then its a simple switchover and would look much better over brembo sti/evo rear (IMO)

You didnt really read what I posted... I want something large, I dont want anything like a z32... ie STI REAR / GTR Rear.

Something equiv to the 4 piston rear. not 2.

Just get the front big brake kit, i have the 4 piston ap racing calipers up front and it's more than you will ever ever ever need i'm pretty sure, unless you are going to be doing grand touring races which i dont think you will be since you are asking people on this forum. The rear brakes are overrated, they barely do any work, just get some really good race pads in the rear and change out your rotors regularly. There aren't many options that let you keep the parking brake so do the sti rear 2 piston or the z32 or the wilwood and get over it, doubt you will even notice a difference for the rears.

Yeah, I've got 4 piston 33 GTR Brembo's with Endless CCX pads and stock rear. It's enough to throw my smaller passengers out of the seat.

Thanks ManoNegra, clearly I need to learn to read the whole thread.

What e-brake kit, the "line lock" ?
I have the Z-car kit all around with the proportioning valve and line lock. The line lock only works for a few minutes then it lets go. I don't think it was ever intended to work as a parking brake. And yes I have bled the system thoughally and checked for leaks, there aren't any. I park the car in gear and pray no-one hits me and chips a tooth in the tranny.

In retrospect the rear kit was a waste of money. I have the proportioning valve turned down so much to keep the rears from locking up. There is very little braking done at that end anyway since all the weight transfers up front.

Seeing how that bracket is made, I will probably try to make my own so I can keep my AZcar bling.
