How do you adjust the e-brake? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My e-brake doesn't seem to hold the car in place. When I park my car on a hill with a 30+ degree slope, the car will slide. The e-brake also seems to lift a little higher than normal. How do you tighten it?

you need to take out the boot first. then, you should see a nut with a long stud. lift up the ebrake so you can get access to the nut. use a deep socket and start tightening it by turning clockwise. the more you turn it, the tighter the ebrake should feel.

I'll try that out. Thanks for the help.
