z32/r32 brake setup, what am i lacking? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

southerncross · 11-10-2008, 09:09 PM

ok guys, ive just kind of come across all this stuff for next to nothing in the last week's time, and i want to know what other parts i need to get besides what i have to make it all work properly. i want the brakes to feel and work like stock brakes should when im done. this is all on my 90 s13 hatch.

so far i have:

z32 front calipers
front and rear z32 conversion lines
complete r32 skyline rear subframe with rotors, 5 lug hubs, lines, rearend. . . everything

i was told i can just bolt the skyline rear subframe in place of the s13, and use a hicas eliminator bar. is that true? it'd damn sure be nice, cause i'd much rather drop the whole subframe when i do my circuit sports solid bushing install and kill two birds with one stone.

i know i need a better master cylinder than stock to handle the brakes. . . which one would be best? also, are those master cylinder braces really necessary? they seem popular.

somebody help, im trying to put this thing together pretty quick.

Well i don't know anything about swapping the subframes but I know Hicas eliminator bare's aren't that great and if it's anything like FC rear wheel steering than the wheels still turn minutely.

but back to brakes You'll want to pick up the Z32 master cylinder and brake booster if you use the stock S13 parts your braking force will be much to high and you'll lock up the brakes at around 20% and higher brake pedal travel. I've learned that much from experience.

ok. . . that works. from what ive been told the r32 calipers/rotors/hubs are the same as z32. is that correct? if so im guessing i can use them all just as if i were doing any normal z32 rear brake swap.

Z32 setup depended on what trim model you had
N/A = 26mm Calipers/Rotors
TT= 30mm Calipers/Rotors

Im not 100% sure on the R32, But the R33's came with 30mm Calipers/Rotors
