i probally havnt adjusted them right but yeah, any help will be great

thanks

Have you checked the handbrake shoes?

Proper way to adjust handbrake is to back it right off at the lever, then tighten it all the way at the drums so it doesn't move, and then back it off 4-5 clicks. Then tighten the lever up till it locks after 5-6 clicks.

Also if you have ever driven with the handbrake on the shoe and drum can glaze up and become pretty much useless. It's easy to fix - just pull it all appart and rough it back up with some emrey paper.

this might be a stupid question which bits the shoe / drum ??

any question you ask is stupid justin, hehehe.

the handbrake mechanism is in behind the rear rotors. you pull the rotors off to expose them.

you said you only wanted a pic of the drums shoes , anyway heres the Translated version. if there is still plently of meat left on the drum shoes but they have a glazed surface just do what Snowman said. if they are on the skinny side of things replace them, on that note anyone know where to get drum shoes and what price they are?

"You do not know why is, but R31 (the Indian ram system) the emergency brake works like the ogre"

URAS make an awesome upgraded handbrake shoe for Skylines - if you plan on doing a fair bit of handbrake stuff for either drifting or motokhana's/autocross. I use them and they make a big difference over the standard shoes.

For stock ones you are probably better off at a wreckers. From what I gather it's one size fits all for skylines.

Or you can get the shoes rebonded for ~$60
