6th gen rear brake upgrade

has anyone done this on a 5th gen?
I am going to do a 300zx front brake conversion and was thinking to do 6th gen rear brake conversion, is this possible? i know they use an internal drum design for the parking brake. how much work would this involve?

Thanks

If you can figure out the whole ebrake issue with putting the 6th gen rears on, go for it. If you do it, use the base model 350z rear rotors (vented) and rear calipers (larger piston then both the 300 and 6th gen), but like I said best of luck to you on doing so, the 6th gens ebrake is shoes inside the rotor, while the 5th gens are spring loaded into the caliper.

Only consolation is that Matt Blehmco offers a rear bbk, but it comes at a price
