Hi guys!

So I am upgrading my brakes to the 300zx TT calipers all the way around my s13 coupe with no abs. So I have heard different things and I need to know what is the right thing to do. Someone told me I need to buy the non-turbo z32 rear uprights so they can hold the e-brake cables in place however, they told me that it is not a direct bolt on because the struts on the rear won't match up? Is this true and if so why would I want the rear uprights? I just need to know how to get a 300zx brake system on my car safely not cheaply. I don't mind spending the proper money for right way of doing this. Also I hear I need a new brake booster and Master Cylinder... if so what do I need and what size? If anyone who has done this swap on a s13 coupe with non-abs could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

A: this has been covered a thousand times and there are numerous write ups. Zilvia will not be kind to these kind of questions so dont get upset if you get flamed

B: However im bored so ill answer your questions, this is a bolt on affair for the most part. Youll need conversion lines to adapt them to the car and obviously the correct rotors.

Rear upright are not neccessary, but are sometimes preferred as they are aluminum. ebrakes will work just fine you just need the right cables. R33 cables work for the s14 and for s13's youll need z32 cables.

the booster and master are not necessary but are an option for better feel. to use the bmc off the z32 youll need to install a third fitting.


This should get you started, search search search!
