Is it GTST? If it's the same as the GTR there's a little panel next to the handbrake which you should be able to pop out and see an adjusting screw/bolt in there. If you can't get to it through there you'll have to take the centre console off. Just make sure that when you've adjusted it you jack up the back and check that the rear wheels still turn easily.

The handbrake is adjusted initially by adjusting the shoes in the hat of the rear disc.

There is a hole in the hat. At about the "7 o'clock" position (I think) you will be able to see a ratchet wheel inside the hat. Turning this wheel adjusts the clearance of the shoe to the "drum" inside the disc hat.

I just did the adjustment a couple weeks back. Makes loads of difference.

Look for the rubber stopper thing in the rear brake hub. Pull that stopper out. Then look through the hole and rotate the axle until you can see the metal adjuster wheel. The screw is notched and sits horizontally so that turning the adjuster up/down screws the pads apart. From memory it was directly on the top. I think it was up to spread the pads but can't really remember. You have to use a flat blade screw driver into the notches to adjust.

Be sure to check the tension by turning the axle by hand. It didn't take too much adjustment on mine to bring the handbrake level to 2/3 the height it was before.

Hope that is helpful.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
