    For drifto purposes I would just use a hydraulic ebrake. Simple and easy to mount and run a couple of lines to the BMC.








    For actual parking brake a line lock similar to the one AZC sold would work great. But as you mentioned mike there are plenty of write-ups and parts available that s13 guys use to retain factory ebrake on z32/Q45/z31.

    I hope for your case you don't get a shit knob.

    Any one thinking about doing this should know its really quite easy I did it myself in a weekend.what I really wanted to say was that my factory yoke fit right on the z32 pinion! Sweat right also if you run wheels with an aggressive fwd offset its a perfect fit ( my aftermarket jetta 18's look killer)

    If you use the bearing out of the s13 on the z32 knuckle it will work.
    You can use the s14 for the 5 lug.
    The axles are different sizes.

    The axles are only different sizes on the twin turbo z32, the non turbo is the same as the s13/s14 spline.

    Z32 Calipers work on S14 for sure. I think I just threw some washers on to space them from the rotor a bit. I want to say that S13 is the same?

    well

    s13 diff / s13 axle shaft / s13 spindle / z32 NA rear hub (and plate to install drum breake) / z32 na disk / z32 na caliper

    do iam ok

    EDIT:
    if i need to use the z32 spindle i need to find the Stance adaptor for z32 they are different with s13
