Default 01 Rear Brake Conversion

I have seen a couple places where people have converted rear drums to disc but can not find specific details.

Does anyone know the parts list to do this and what is involved with doing the job? I do all the work on my cars so I should be able to pull it off just looking for a good starting point.

By the way new to the community and hey to say the best nissan one I have been to.

you need new rear spindles for disc brakes, plus all the hardware and ebrake cable connections, doing it on my 99

Don't forget brake lines! Calipers have different lines than drums.

Also, make sure your calipers have brackets (if buying new, some places sell them without the brackets).
