Okay so the final verdict is that you have to swap out just the Z ebrake assembly, rotors, and brakes right? I don't need a Z rear end or anything like that, right? I found a very nice set of Nissan 4 pots / 2 pots on a 300 ZX at the junk yard today. They told me $250 for all 4 brake calipers. I do need to have an e-brake, and I would like the better braking that the 4/2 pots would give me. TIA.

crap that's expensive, I found my Z front calipers for $30 each and the MC for another $15... yes I know I lucked out. I'm wishing now that I had taken the booster too...

Booster? So just check junkyards for everything....so you just need the rotor, caliper and Z32 to S13 brake lines? I'm sort of confused about the brake line part. Could someone explain that a little more clearly?

The brake line fittings are completely different from 240 and Z.
U have to get steele braided hoses and a Z fittament on the caliper side and a 240 fittament on the other side.
