300zx Brake Upgrade Questions

Has anyone converted the rears to Z calipers ? I looked using the search but the only ting that is talked about is the front. Can this be done or am I stuck with just the SE style calipers?

The Z32 calipers, no. They use a much thicker rotor, a different mounting geometry, and the parking brake is completely different. The Z32 uses a small drum type brake inside the rotor hat for the parking brake, as well as the 2-piston caliper for normal driving.

I'm sure it *could* be done, but not with the skillz most people have. I'm talking days in a fab shop.
