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...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
