newbie brake questions, please help....

Hey guys,

first note: I'm a Subaru guy and very unfamiliar with nissans.

My question is this: What years of Nissans had rear discs with cable actuated e-brakes in the rear?

All pre legacy subarus had cable actuated FRONT ebrake calipers. I am attempting a brake swap and want to move the e-brake to the rear.

I need to get to the junkyard and see what I can get to bolt up. Knowing what cars to look at would help....

Any and all rear caliper info you can give me will be grately appreciated.

Thanks,
Your fellow Fuji Heavy Industries driver

Yep, Brilliant huh? All Subarus had front e-brakes up to about 1990. Heaven forbid you should ever have to use it in an actual emergency......
