so i bought this car 6 months ago and the ebrake has never worked for drifting. it works ok when i park, like i mean my cars never rolled away.

but when i pull it when im moving slows me down slowly (slower than when i come up to a red light). its also really stiff. theres a little bit of life left in the rear pads i think. i've adjusted the cable, and still no luck.

anyone have any ideas? i searched but i couldnt find threads with the same symptoms i've having

thanks,
greg

240sx? stock rear brakes? Your rear calipers might be crapping out on you. Mine did.

Maybe the notches on the single cable to the joint aren't connected right.
