Hey I have a question Im not too sure about. I have a s13 I am about to put a five lug conversion from a 300zx on and I have the front rotors and calipers and brake lines and such. But i dont have the rear rotors or anything. I was wondering if I could just put stock s14 se rotors on the back? And if everything would line up. I know it will match up to the five lug, but do I need to change the calipers too? Please steer me in the right direction.

As long as you use stock s14 rotors your s13 calibers will mount back normal. All the same. One rotor 5 lug other 4 lug but same diameter and thickness. Hope that helps and you keep e brake working too without z32 ebrakes

No problem. Saves a lot of money that way. If you upgrade to the z32 calibers you have to upgrade to a z32 rotor with z 32 e brakes cables and extension. If you want a parking brake. Ohh do you have z32 master cylinder? S13 not strong enough to operate the extra pistons efficiently.

or r33 lines
^ this! I have Z32 calipers on 4 corners with the Z32 e-brake assembly and R33 cables. Even with OEM shoes, I can lock the rear with a swift pull without a problem. Only thing is that you have to adjust the cam behind the rotor every so often. Those shoes will wear but at least they don't groove like the stock brakes will with excessive e-braking... Make sure you line the cam up with the hole in the rotor when/if you install rears
