Um, how is your brake fluid? I don't know if this applies to S13's, or Nissan's but in my dad's car the "brake" light would go on for 2 reasons: 1) he put the E-brake on; 2) There's something wrong with the brakes, like fluid being low.

Other than that, there's a small switch under the center console that activates the daash light. You might want to start there.

Here's a real easy fix, grab yourself a phillips screw driver, a scissor and a roll of black electrical tape, unscrew the plastic cover, cut yourself a piece of electrical tape, and apply it to where the light goes on. Hows that for a fix?
