300zx rear brake upgrade

To perform a 300zx rear brake upgrade, I know I need the backing plates from a 300zx for the e-brake. On the inner side of those plates, there is a big threaded stud which I don't know where it links up to.

does somebody know?

the threaded stud goes throught the upper part of the knuckle if you use your finger youll find the hole already there on the knuckle. you might have to dremil it just a little for the stud to go through. rear brake swap is practically plug and play just need to fiddle with some things.

So u saying it is easy to do rear 300zx swap on 240sx? What about the e-brake? That website, that everybody refer to, does not really explain what and how exactly to deal with e-brake problem. Is there some one in here who have done the swap (him/her)self and can help me?

you have to use the r33 rear e brake cables and those will work fine

ok i c ... so it goes in the hub and the hub kinda works like a drum brake it has brake shoes inside for the e-brake right? calipers have nothing to do with the e-brake correrct ??

so all i need than is:

300zx calipers + pads
300zx rotors
aftermarket brake line to fit my calipers
r33 e-brake cables

i already have sum kinda bridgestone aftermarket brake lines. Not sure they will fit rear calipers, even thou they do work with front 300zx calipers. They must fit rear too right?
