Z32 Rear ebrake cable extensions ?????????

No, i didn't grind off the plastic coating on the wire i just clamp it up just like that. For answering your question about how the cable travel, it is enough for you to yank the ebrake as hard as you can with still some more travel distance between the clamp and the stock brackets, picture above is when the ebrake is release. I should have taken a picture with ebrake engage huh? Well it work just fine for me, as long as it can hold the car on maybe a 45 degree incline then that will be str8. Take a picture of ur setup i wanna see it. I just scared that one day the clamps might slip

Well here i just snapped some picture of it today to let u see what im talking about

So yea i did a little adjustment to my clamp just to make sure it won't slip later on, but you can see that even when my ebrake is yank up it still have some more distance for the thing to go b4 it touches the stock s13 brackets. Well let me see how your things are setup maybe i can learn something new...

so you have to buy 4 clamps?

when you joining the 2 brake lines together, do you keep your ebrake yank up or keep it down?

what do you do to prevent it form future slipping?

thanks

yea 4 clamps, it comes in pair. I kept the ebrake down to when i join the lines but u have to make sure that you join the lines first then hook it to the t-bar and then pull it back and bolt it down onto the subframe. As for how long you cut the stock cable, i think i did like 8 inches, sorry can't really remember i didn't measure it, but you have to make sure that it just enough and once you bolt it to the subframe it should have some tension already. For preventing future slipping i really don't know that why if you look at the pictures i curled the end of the cable lol... i might need some help about future slipping prevention too

You said it was for a S13 wasn't it? If is for a S13 use the Z32 e-brake cable they fit, not on the factory rout, but they will fit. For a S14 they will not fit. Try to make your way around and you will see that they DO fit. I got mine more than 6-8 month ago. and i haven't had any problem with them. Check this link:

well i didnt have the end link on my cable wen i bought, the link where you hook it to the t-bar so no matter what it won't work for me with just the stock z32 cable so i have to splice it with the s13 cable to have the length and the end link that would link up the the t-bar

[4bangers]

ohh I'm doing it on a S14. So how come it won't fit on S14 but work on S13? is it b/c the link at the T-bar is different b/t S14 and S13?

So right now I have stock S14 ebrake, a set of Z32 ebrake assembly, and 2 z32 ebrake cable.
Do I have to find a S13 ebrake cable and join w/ the z32 cable? Can't I just cut the S14 cable after the T-bar and join it w/ the z32 cable? that way I'll have stock T-bar link.

oh i really dun know bout s14 how it look under there so i cant help you there, but if it is the same setup as the the s13, by that i mean the t-bar distance almost the same, i think you can do the same thing but then again i never been under one to actually tell u
