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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
