Simple z32 brake swap question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Do I need to have the z32 ebrake assembly to mount up the rear z32 calipers and rotors. Obviously i won't have an ebrake and know that the s14 isn't going to work. I know that. Just news to know if there isn't a space that the ebrake fills.. Ie shoes or offset spacing that will throw it off.

If no, is there a rotor that works without the ebrake hat.

the question is, why would you not want to run the ebrake? just have some patients, save up some cash and get the ebrake assembly.

Gonna run hydro and get a handle that has a lock. If I don't end up liking that, I'll pick up the dual caliper bracket and run with that which uses mustang rotors or something iirc.

Plus a friend of mine needs the ebrake assembly to put hers on her daily more then I need it for the drift car.

Kudos to you.

I'm always afraid of the idea of running rear brakes without cable e-brakes in the rear. If your hydro fails, what can you do to top your car other than try to go off roading?
