Default 5AT Parking Brake

I'll probably get called a ricer or something for this... BUT...

Does anyone know how to make the parking brake engage like a normal parking brake? On the 5speed it just slowly puts on brakes without being able to lock up the wheels... kinda kills the premise of easier drifting instead of just whooping the boost to 16lbs and throwing it sideways lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Every Z that I have driven in has a crappy handbrake and is hard to lock up. Especially if you have some decent tires in the rear. I am gonna call Endless and see if they can make a special pad for the E-brake like Project Mu does.
