    First off thanks for reading. I have a S14 with the z32 30mm brakes front and rear. I have been driving the car now with this set up for about two years but with out an e-brake. I recently bought the R33 brake cables and decided I would throw them in...no big deal right? Well I got the rear hubs and everything apart only to discover that the RR hub is too large for the axle and the axle just spins freely inside the hub!! The only way I was able to drive it was because the axle nut was installed without a washer and created enough tension to lock it all together (I've done two track days like this...little scary). Well the issue that I have now is I need the 300zx wheel bearing assembly to support the e-brake shoes but is that the right hub? Did I have a twin turbo hub on the RR and that's why it is too large? I'm a little lost and I can't find any definitive info when I search. So if anyone knows for sure or has some parts they think would do it, please let me know!! Thanks!!

    You probably have turbo ebrake parts. You need N/A Z32 drum ebrake parts. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm#rearbrake

    Whoa... yeah, that's weird. How did the splines even fit? Got different axles or something?
    Seriously looking for Kouki side skirts, and maybe an S15 steering wheel... I hate the S14 wheel.

    If you have S14 front mudflaps I'll take them. (I have rear.)

    Also needs: Aftermarket (eBay) SR down pipe to hack on for my KA-T project. Flex section is fine, or not.

    Das what I said yo! Glad you got it sorted. I'm sure the last thing you needed is sparks flying out your rear and a missing wheel. Enjoy the ebrake!
