Hey Everyone,

Has anyone removed the leather hand brake cover on a 32? The part you grab with your hand when you use the handbrake.

I am trying to put a drift button on and I can't get the cover to budge. I have removed the circle cylinder thingy at the end (around the button) but I can't get the cover too move.

Does anyone have some tips for me?

Cheers

Chris

I did it, but it didnt go to plan...the rubber is moulded so tightly and is impossible to pull off (like S13)

I ended up hacking at it with a stanley knife, and got a alloy cover to go over the leaver...good luck with it!

ok, so you just gotta reef it off. Atleast now I know that I can go nuts on it. I have tried twisting etc. I think I'lll leave it till next week (after drift day) and I'll pull the assembly out and get it into a vice so I can get a better hold on it.

I was gonna cut it off, but obviously I need a replacement first.

^ yeah drift button, fairly simple. you remove the spring that holds the button up. And slip the handbrake button over the original button, so you have a lip to pull up the handbrake to lock it.

I don't bother, i just use the handbrake without the cover on, because i find as you pull the handbrake, the cover (the thing you're trying to get off) slips up and locks the handbrake on.. which is very annoying when drifting coz you just do this violent spin and leave nice flat spots on your tyres....

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
