R31 Skyline Rear Convesion Handbrake Query

[53-681]

Hi guyz,

 

As you may all be aware, I have proceeded with an R31 rear disc brake conversion on my Z.

 

I am now wanting:

-To have the handbrake cables fit into their original bracket mounts

-To have the handbrake work

 

 

Does anybody have experience with the above? If so, I would sincerely appreciate your advice.

 

 

Many Thanks

I thought you had this conversion done by Scoota like over a year ago?

 

Has your handbrake not worked all this time?

Hey Tai,

 

It hasn't worked since - hence why I had a bit of a 'forgot to take it out of gear' ignition-collision late last year and bumped the front (I wish I retained the nudge bar)..

 

 

Stock cables are shorter for the R31 calipers so they don't fit in their brackets (I have used springs instead to keep them up so they don't rub against the half shafts).

 

I would like new (recommended for the job) cables to suit the new calipers, but fit in existing brackets.

 

I did drive back from Ballarat so maybe the cables did deteriorate a bit as they were rubbing the shafts on the way back...

you can use the stock cables... though a handbrake wouldn't of prevented your 'forgot to take it out of gear' collision.
