S13 z32 brake conversion

[Bmx240sx]

Just got my isr conversion lines is this conversion straight bolt in like for the front and rear? People are saying I don't need a bracket to bolt up the rear calipers and some say I need a bracket/ adapter so to anyone that has done this conversion do I need adapter brackets or not?

You can bolt it on the rear but you won't have an ebrake anymore unless you buy
-z32 rotors
-z32 backing plate
-z32 drum brake assemblies
-z32 2+2 cables
-bracket adapting z32 cables

The fronts bolt on using the z32 rotors and conversion lines

So what's the point of isr selling the conversion lines for the rear? I was planning on getting z32 pads and rotors

You can still use the rear z32 brakes/rotors
You just won't have an ebrake

They sell conversion lines for the rear so you can connect the brake line to the caliper.

Just because they sell the lines by themselves doesn't mean that's the only item you need to use Z32 rears.

So I basically need everything that kat-power said?

I'm not trying to be rude but these cars have been around possibly longer than you have. All of this information has already been covered more times than I've masturbated in my life.

I don't know how it could have been made anymore clear lol

Either put the brakes on and have no ebrake
Or
Buy the stuff I listed and have an ebrake

OP has been super vague for far. I won't even try to tackle the original question. But the most recent one for example: what 5 lug rotors? From an S14? If so, then yes, you will need the Z32 rotors that match your Z32 calipers; i.e. 26 or 30mm. Do you even have Z32 calipers? You haven't said.

When I did this swap 5 years ago, I used information that was already 5 years old. I used the Importnut site and a few other threads. Easy peasy.

I have aluminum 30mm calipers, I checked online and no one stated that I needed a whole bunch of other stuff for the rear calipers. All that was said was that they used z32 conversion lines and that's it. I'm not even bothering putting the rears in so I just put the fronts and called it a day.

Here, the front and rear brakes will bolt up completely fine with 0 modification. You said you already have the conversion lines so that's all you'll need.

However, if you want a functional e brake, you'll need to source z32 rotors, drum brake assembly, z32 2+2 cables, and custom fab brackets to adapt them under the car.

If you're going through the work of the brake swap, do the rears and do them right. Get the parts to make your e brake functional. Don't lazy out on something that takes an hour once the cars up.

I hear ya on that but when I went 5 lug swap I did the rears first so I have new rotors and pads there so I'm just going to source the parts needed and eventually due it over time my z32 fronts are in so I should be fine for the meanwhile

You went five lug and kept stock brakes?

Just a quick question here. Do you HAVE to change the rear knuckles, or can you use the stock (s13) ones?

You use the factory S chassis ones, if you go Z32 you'll need Z32 coilover lower mounts.

Thank you sir. So, just to clarify

I'm using Megan 5 lug conversions front and rear. I'm going full Z32 brake swap with e-brake as well. I'm sorry, what is a coilover lower mount? Sorry for the slowness, first time doing this swap :/

I'm not sure that's the technical term, its the piece that mounts bottom of the coilover to the knuckle.

^^ look at the coilover, the bottom of the tube is threaded. The bottom (mount) portion, would have to be swapped to the z32 one if you use the z32 knuckles.
