[carter]

thanks carter

i run a r32 hand brake setup which i am sure is the same as the origanal cefiro one. so the cable is out of r32 2 door but you need to trim about 3mm off the crimp at the end where it joins to the two cables going to each brake. you must have streached it alot, the is alot of adjustment on it.

I used a r32 2door setup on my brothers ceff without any modification to the cables

thanks 4 ur help guys, im still undecided wether 2 go hydro handbrake or just get new cable n sum bitey pads 4 mine now,

You already stripped your interior didn't you? Might as well go for hydro setup

when i converted from auto to manual i used a r32 coupe handbrake cable without modifications..

drum setup correctly is much better than hydro

Glad I found this thread....mine was so stretched(i have never used the handbrake for drift) that when I tried to wind down the bolt to adjust it the tread snapped off completely.

I ended up welding the thread back, but think I will jsut replace it now

carter - go the drum handbrake with URAS shoes - trust me

if it's tensioned properly it is awesome!

This was a few months ago, I think he's running hydro setup now, or at least he's solved the problem.

around the $200 mark... i think

I paid something like $80 to get my shoes rebonded, but I can't really compare to anything as I'm still having issues.

The mounting point on the underside of the floor pan that the handbrake cable bolts to... the stud that sticks out of that mounting point has snapped off, so at the moment the cable is zip-tied in place and as you can imagine there is a bit of stretch there now. I need to do something like drill the original stud out and bolt the cable down from the other side.

That and since I'm running redrilled rotors (r33GTST) on the rear, the hole on the rotor hat for accessing the handbrake adjustment is now being blocked by the face of the hub, so I can't properly adjust it anyways. So I need to pull the rotors off and drill another hole in each of them.

I've had this car going for over a year now and still haven't gotten the handbrake to work properly yet lol.
