i have a s14 base model 240sx and i would like to find out how to change the rear calipers to the z32 calipers, i would like to know what do i need to do the swap.

I am going to be parking in gear from now on so i dont want any information about the ebrake assembly.

Just the basic how to do the swap, what materials i need etc.

I tried searching 1000 times with every possible entry and all i see is that this has been discussed 1000 times, yes it has but not the basic swap.

I know you need the calipers,pads,and z32 rotors but thats all i know.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If you do decide you need to swap the e-brake setup. Unisa Jecs has these....send him a PM

Just received mine in the mail today!

Just FYI...you probably will want to have an e-brake....you drive a 240 :)

Thankyou, but i already read that a thousand times. I Think there is a way to just take of the old caliper off and change the the rotor and make it work.

Can that work or not ?

is it that much work to install the Z32 calipers WITH the dust shields/ebrake?

no, its not. a little extra work for something that is quite useful should your brakes ever take a dump on you.

well i got the calipers and i hear from a number of people the ebrake assembly is hard to find.

My rear brakes siezed......need new brakes asap, i just thought this would be a good time to get the z32 swap done and not just not buying stocks again.

It's remove-n-replace if you're going with no e-brake.

All you need is calipers / pads / rotors / conversion brake lines.

That's it.
