Hey there! I recently bought my first GTR. It’s a 1996 R33. I’m trying to get a custom titanium ebrake handle and ebrake button made for it. Does the stock ebrake button simply unscrew? I’ve been attempting to do this and it doesn’t seem to be unscrewing and it’s twisting the spring underneath. I just don’t want to break anything. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I doubt the button just unscrews, more likely held in the end of the handbrake lever via a machined shoulder or similar.     It may not be simple to remove without destroying the lever.    See the embedded videos here, which show methods to 'replace' the handbrake cover and button:

Titanium.....well, I suppose 'billet titanium' sounds so much sexier than 'billet aluminium'....sorry, 'billet aluminum'.      

Baffle the crowd with "I love the feel of my Ti6Al4V handbrake.....'

Good luck with it.....

In the same boat. I wanted a SS e-brake handle/button to replace a BS NRG one

looked into a place Lathewerks out of the US. I originally bought a Subi handle thinking it would be univeral, but was informed that the handle are sized specific. I did give the measurements of the R33 bare handle.

Lathewerks also had e brake button on there for S-chassis I ordered that was well, but they asked does the original scree off. I told them it doesnt and I would need the slip on style similar to GKtech.

I questioned myself on whether I does screw off. I did not find a diagram and anything about a button just show drift buttons.

I to tried to screw it off only to mar the plastic. I could hear the spring twisting and no feeling of twisting it off threads.

I dint think it screws off, but who knows. No info on it

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
