Hey guys,

After stripping the interior, I can't help but notice how crappy the stock handbrake looks without the centre console covering it :rofl:

I've had a poke around the interwebs, but I can't seem to find any alloy handbrake products to replace it!

Help meeeeeeeeeee? :wacko:

:P

Just get a hydraulic handbrake and either install it or rape it for its handle.

Are we building another track car are we? Im depressed...im still punting my lil GTSt :D

Track car? Me? :thumbsup:

Link to hydraulic handbrakes? That seems like a lot of trouble, especially since I won't be doing any of that silly............ drifting.

You wanting fancy pants gearshift lever or handbrake lever? I'm confused. And a little drunk.

Sorry, first post edited. I'm after a handbrake :D I was slightly drunk when typing it too. Mmmmm... beer.

I have a cusco one in the silvia. troy can attest to it's fancy-ness. it replaces (well slides over) the shaft, and comes with a 'drift knob' too. but I think you probably want something to replace the whole dealie. could be tough to get. maybe just remove the handbrake all together and keep a wheel chock in the centre console ready to go.

hehehe...

I was after something more like this :)

Might grab one of those and just weld the cable attachment to it. No need for a hydraulic brake setup at the moment...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
