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.

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

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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
