Hey I have Z32 brakes all around on my S13 and I want to do the E-brake swap. The stuff that I have found on the interwebs have been vague and inconclusive. I really need someone who has done this on a S13 before. I have everything I need. The entire E-brake assembly, cables, and Z32 knuckles. What I want to know is do have to use the Z32 knuckles in order to use the E-brake assembly? Yes I do know they are considerably lighter, but I don't care. I just want to take the least amount of stuff off my car.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

you should be able to keep the stock knuckles with the ebrake conversion.

 

Im doing the same thing you are and i had the same question. What i found out is that you really dont need the z32 knuckles. You can use your s13 or s14. That big ass bolt will go in the your s13 knuckle. All you will need is a nut for it. Not to jack your thread but does anyone know if you need brake conversion lines for the rear and will the z32 ebrake cables work on the s13? Ive seen people sell ebarke conversion shit but not sure if i really need it.

 

You need Z32 ebrake cables for S13 and R33 cables for S14. For lines, the brakes lines SPL has the best prices Ive found.

 

The best info I found on it came from here:

I used this write up and it works great on my car.

 

is it really that big of a deal to change the knuckles?
