I have a g35 but its the same story as the 350z... my handbrake SUCKS. Ive driven friends' 240s and those things LOCK up when the ebrake is thrown. I can drift with my ebrake pretty well for what it does.... but i want it to grab lower and harder than it does. ive seen stainless steel brake lines around and was wondering if maybe i got those installed they could get adjusted byt he racing shop im getting it done at to grab better... what do you think?

that is what im talking about by the way with the SS brake lines.... sgp is a good shop and i live close, so i was thinking about going by there and asking if i got them installed if they could set them up so my ebrake actually works. I'm getting new tires in about 4 months and want to be able to drift the **** outa my stock wheel/tire setup before i get the new ones (10 inches in the rear isnt gonna help drifting)

Are u sure after installed it in your Z, your e-brake will lock your rear wheel as well?????
my z had same problem, the Z' e-brake is suck, i did pulling hard e-brake when i want drift enter in the cornor.

The e-brake on the Z/G35C is not hydraulic so those lines won't do anything for e-brake performance.
There are two adjustment points for the e-brake, the first is under your center console (which can be removed with a phillips head screwdriver-4screws) the second is at the drum/rotor and is adjusted by removing your wheel, and then there is a rubber cover in the rotor which can be removed which will give access to the turn adjuster. Usually the cable stretches so it needs to be tightened. HTH

im thinking i might get the ss lines anyways just because i dont like the idea of the lines being rubber in the first place and getting line swell and stuff.... but then i guess i'll have them adjust the ebrake so it grabs better.... man i want 240's handbrake ability!
