    Rear brakes - drum handbrake - skyline upgrade?

    Hi guys,

    I've spent about three days searching and I can't find a definitive answer.

    I have a 93 13, and I'm looking to upgrade the rear brakes. When I pulled them off it has drum rear handbrake and a single piston caliper for the foot brake. From what I can read that means it has half the skyline upgrade?

    Could anyone confirm that? Reason I ask is I have the knuckles off to shot blast but I don't know if the knuckles will accept the r33 calipers or do I need the r33 knuckle?

    Cheers!

    If they are r33 gtst calipers then they will fit on the rear with no modification needed to the standard UK spec setup other than the dust shield around the disc that will need cutting to allow the bigger skyline rear disc to go on.

    Skylines(non gtr) and UK s13s use the same rear drum hand brake setup.
