Ah.... I see, completely useless on the street then?

Sounds rather unsafe for street use too... what if you accidently push it in and need to use the hand brake?

hey mate

alot of peeple have them in there car for street dont know why but they are primarily to drift

and s13 s14 s15 ae86 r32 r33 rr34 all have the same button on the handbrake so they will fit over any of them and heres installation instructions for anyone interested

thanks

All you need is a flathead screwdriver, it should only take a minute to install.

1 Remove handbrake cover, (slide/twist it forward)

2 Using a flathead screwdriver flip the tabs on each side of the handbrake out in order to drop the spring (the standard handbrake button will sink in and stay)

3 Slide the handbrake cover back on

4 Push the drift button onto the standard one

When the drift button is pushed in it will leave the handbrake unactivated even when pulled up, when the drift button is pulled out the handbrake will lock when pulled up.

they don't fit just any car! i have bought one in the past to suit an s13 and it didn't fit my 32, i later found out that s13 ones r different to r32's!

  • 2 weeks later...

I am trying to get the handbrake cover off and it won't budge.

Does anyone know if there is a trick to them? There is a ring at the end that I started to pull out, but it sounds like it's attached to the spring.

It's a leather cover, but I think all the 32's are...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
