I've never heard of it, I did some searching earlier with no success. I've read that "Z32 brakes fit on 240SX's" so I'm going to be a guinea pig and try the S14 rear calipers on my S13.

My left rear caliper started leaking yesterday so I figured why not upgrade?

They both have an integral E-brake (uses existing pads instead of seperate drum like Z32 rear brakes). The S14 calipers have a 1.5" bore size and S13 is roughly 1.334 according to rock auto.

I'll update you guys as I go. I figure its a good feasible upgrade for those of us with one car that want to have an E-brake wityhout extra work and want a quick rear brake upgrade and dont care about having the "cool Z32 aluminum" calipers.

Z32 rear calipers have a 1.12" bore according to rock auto. Considering that because the S14's are sliding calipers, they "should theoretically" have the same clamping force as the same sized dual piston caliper if you take slider friction out of the equation. So S14 may have more pad pessure than Z32? What are the rotor diameters comparisons between the S14 and the Z32 rear brakes?
