Hey guys.

Getting bored tonight so i might as well try and sus out another of the small probs ive found in the Line

The issue at hand. whenever the handbrake is pulled whilst driving. instead of being offered nice strong rear wheel braking. im given a nice loud screech. (roughly a similar sound to that of tired old brake pads rubbing metal on metal). Anyone had this happen and have a nice easy fix i could do this weekend??

cheers. Luke

the question I have is why are you pulling up the handbrake whilst your car is moving? The handbrake is for hill starts and to stop your car rolling away when it's parked on uneven ground. When you are rolling and want to slow down or stop you use the footbrake.

True. Although it would be nice to have more ways of kicking the back end out then just by using the clutch.

and. they are disc brakes. not drum brakes. 96 S2 R33 gts-t (sorry didnt mention previously)

lol, well fair enough if it's for drift then most likely you have worn it out. and your S2 GTST does have rear drums for the handbrake. you most likely need new brake shoes and possibly the inside of the rotor bell need cleaning up or even replacing (need to replace whole rotor if that's the case).

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
