Default 350z Parking Brake Cables

Ladies and Gents,
Been doing some research and I'm about at a dead end. I have a 2004 non-Brembo equipped 350z project with 202k miles which has been drifted extensively. Parking brake cables don't look great and I went to replace them but multiple vendors, Nissan included have had an issue replacing the 2003-2005 RH side due to it being discontinued. Figured I would take the chance and buy a used set of 06-08 cables and was just told there are differences between the Brembo and non-Brembo parking brake cables. First I am hearing about this. My car currently has 370z sport rear knuckles which will be getting Akebono calipers and rotors. I understand that the Akebono banjo and other bits are the same as some of the Brembo equipment. Sounds like maybe I should be looking for 03-05 Brembo equipped parking brake cables? Does any one know if there are differences between the 03-05 and 06-08 cables or differences between the Brembo and non-Brembo cables? Hydro handbrake seems unnecessary as I don't plan on drifting it. Just a fun project which will see the drag strip and potentially some half mile runs. I feel like I am grossly overthinking this but all this contradicting information is getting annoying.

I'm heading home from work to do some more reading so if I have managed to miss something in my research, feel free to let me know.
Thanks

PS. If my signature from 10 years ago is still on here disregard it. I was dumb back then and that was a different car.

Going on 10 days with no response. Went there first since they've helped me out with plenty in the past but I started looking elsewhere for answers.

Just call them. 770.838.7777 and ask for Spencer. They know me, lmk if you'd like me to call about it.
EDIT
If it's discontinued it's either buy used or fab a new one.
