I'm trying to put on one of those drift buttons and just wondering how the hell do I get the factory boot/cover off the e-brake handle, this thing is seriously on there.

I had the same problem when I first got my s14. One day it was really hot and I pulled off the boot. So just try heating it up a little with a hair dryer and it should come off easily.

I just gripped mine really hard and twisted it. This broke the seal of the glue, then I twisted and pulled up and the boot progressively came off.

I just cut mine off and wrapped the handle with bicycle handle bar tape. So it's super comfortable, and has more grip to so my hand doesn't slip off.
