E brake cables fitment issues Z32 on S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ikennrockdis · 04-11-2017, 11:01 PM

So I purchased some Z32 2+2 ebrake cables maybe 2 years ago and I finally divided to upgrade my brakes now. I'm in the middle of being finished but at the final step of just connecting the ebrake cables to the hand brake cables. I was told it was z32 2+2 cables and me not doing much research before buying I bought it. Probably gonna bite me in the ass now and look like a fool regardless but I just want confirmation on what ebrake cables these are, just to be safe than sorry so I can make adjustments. are they supposed to sit like this on my s13 hatch. The mounting brackets are not flat so the the bracket I bought is useless at this point. Any help or info would be great. Uploading pics in a few

Here we go.

after a good couple hours of searching, these seem to be 2 seater z32 ebrake cables. has anyone ran these before, any issues down the road?

Those are backwards.

Also, you need some sort of anchor plate to get them to work. Easiest found on ebay if you don't want to make your own.

Thanks. I'll be sure to flip them around. Anchor plates can't seem to find any for 2 seater cables but I'll see if I can at least mount them onto the subframe.

These should just bolt up. At least R33 in my S14 fit just fine. 2 seater cables are only different in overall length, so any Z32 to S13 anchor plate would work for you.

he must use 2+2 cables. the two seater cables are just wayyyyyy too short.

Not sure what mean by this, but he's got them the right way. Problem is they're 2 seater cables instead of 2+2 like you posted.

2 seater mounting flanges are vertical, and 2+2 cables flanges are horizontal allowing them to bolt up to the s-chassis with an adapter.

I actually didn't know that.

Looks like the rear flange where they go into the rear assemblies.

Hooray learning new things.

I managed to find an old write up on nico club with the same cables on an s13. They do see really short it was a struggle to put on but I didn't touch the ebrake bolt from the handbrake so I'll try to loosen them see of it they work properly if not I will have to go buy a 2+2 set.
