Foot Brake <-- Stuck!

As the title suggest, my foot brake is stuck. The brake light is on but i don't think the brakes actually engaged as it'll still roll forward in D without any pedal pressure. I usually never use the foot brake as it has occasionally been a bit sticky but has always returned with a bit of pulling. Now it won't budge at all. Is this an easy fix that i can do myself? I'm just worried that i may forget it's broken, push it all the way in and engage the brakes with no way of disengaging them.

just had a quick look at mine nick,you mightbe able to get the bottom plastic bit off the dash(around the release lever) and grab the cable with some multi grips and pull it to release it all the way?just a thought?

Fixed. Couldn't get the plastic bit off, but i traced the wire release to a catch under the dash and pushed it all the way in with a screw driver which released the foot brake. Brake light is off now so it's good. Would like to know how to tighten up that wire though, it felt quite loose.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
