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.

EDIT
If it's discontinued it's either buy used or fab a new one.
