Hand Brake

[niran]

Hey everyone

i have the same problem as the forum topic "Handbrake, Not really working properly", link " http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ha...p;hl=hand+brake". My handbrake doesn’t really lock unless I pull on it extremely hard and quick, even when I come to a stop on a hill and want to park the car I’ve got to pull the handbrake all the way up before it stops moving back..

my quire was is this the same process with a R32 gtst, as the R34 uses the disc brakes on the rear(for handbrake), but as most off you may know the r32 uses the drums on the rear.. So i was just wondering could it be the same problem that was faced in the topic above and if so do i just loosen my hand brake cable? Or must i go by it another way because i have drum brakes on the rear for the handbrake usage?

Thanks

Don't loosen the cable - it will only get worse.

Adjust the shoes inside the drum.

its a simple procedure champ...

1. back the cable off at the handbrake lever a little bit, this is so you can adjust the back with no tension on the cable.

2. remove rear wheels, remove plugs in discs (in the same circle as the wheel studs)

3. move hole in disc to bottom, look in with torch and find gear

4. adjust gear with a screw driver by clicking up or down.

5. lock up both hubs so you cant move them by hand

6. back off gear until hubs just start to move, then back off another 2 clicks, should be about 3-5 clicks all up

7. put wheels back on, discs are done, handbrake is set at the back.

8. adjust cable at lever so there is 2-3 clicks before lever actually engages.

all done.

the adjustment at the back is to make up for shoe wear, the adjustment at the lever is to make up for cable stretch.

cheers
