Can anyone explain to me why it is recommended that Z32 2+2 cables are for the S13 while the R33 cables are for the S14?

I am asking because i mistakenly bought R33 cables for my S13, but i am puzzled as to why they are to tight once installed in the car. At this point i want to just modify the cables i have instead of ordering another set.

Yes I've searched, Yes i have read the Definitive 300zx brake swap.
Thank you for reading

it's just like what you said. a z32 e-brake cable won't fit in a s14, simple as that.

Exactly man, sometimes you have to just order the right parts the first time.

hmm agreed, however it seems that it should be possible to modify the cables to work... i was thinking the length which the cable extends past the mounting point on the car is the real trouble in getting them to work. I'm going to give it a try and i'll post pics to let everyone know what i did to make it happen.

there are little cable ext you can buy on ebay, someone on zilvia had some as well, but the right way is the R33, bolts right up in minutes and works great

On an S14, yes. Not on an S13. Don't confuse people any more by adding a notation that's not related to the original question.

yes the s14 uses the r33 cables, i thought he had an s14 my mistake, you'll need the 2+2 cables.
