if your doing it on a S13 all you have to do is reroute the cable(z32!!!) and it will fit. I am not sure about the S14.

R33 cables.

more expensive

more oem

oem does it better than ebay.

R33 only works well with S14. For S13, reroute or use 2+2 cables.

[McRussellPants]

He has an S14.



I stopped caring on mine and gutted it and got a hydro ebrake. It was one of the better decisions I've made.

So you can reroute S13 Stock E-brake cables and it will work?
*edited* Did a simple search found out "yes". I would ask where but I guess I'll find out when I install it.

No, reroute the 2seat Z32 cables.

i have S14 and have the Z32 2+2 cables, they come within like 2 inches i'm so pissed! I did find those extensions just wondering how good they work/ if anyone has used them?

[LloydXmas]

I have z32 cables on mine, and all you have to do is use a little engineering. Take the brackets off and remount them in a different location and it will work.

[hijack3d]

^^^He has an S14, looks from your sig you have an S13. Different situations.

i just cut and clamped mine with a few u-locks, works like a charm for years tooo.............. but some people may call this ghetto.

i dont, because it fuckin works and never failed.

[Rob's S14]

If you still want to buy them you could always hit up westco justin.

[INeedNewTires]

IXFXI do you have any pics of your setup? i'm about to just buy the extensions but i need to know how long they are first....... waiting on the sellers reply, anyone know how much these things are from westco justin? or what is his sn, or is that it?

You can see the setup on www.importnut.net

[INeedNewTires]

yea i saw that writeup but he didnt call them "u-locks" so i was wondering if they were maybe another method.... think im just gonna go with the extensions

[ixfxi]

no pics........... shit was too simple and not worth documenting


basically cut off your og ends and mate them onto the z32 cables

z32 2+2 would be nice, but wtf... its an ebrake setup. i dont need to sit here and fan balls over something so small and stupid. even if i could do it over, ide probably look into some type of heavy-duty crimp tool.


serious......... waste of time.

[McRussellPants]

Those Oring locks import nut used come apart easy.

I used like 5 on just one cable and hurt my hands tightening them and they came off on the first good yank on the ebrake.

fuck that.

last thing you need is to be driving out to a wall and need to slow down and the brake not be there because you forgot you have to be gentle.

[projectRDM]

I never understood the need for serious cables, after all it's a parking brake. With the car in gear and the brake applied you're not going anywhere, so there's really no need to yank it up like you're jerking off. Stop the car, pull it up to engage, and get out. Done.

mad tyte drifting needs e-brake for more ANGLE YO!

Yeah, duh.

You can leave it in gear at the tampon store so you don't really need it for daily driving.

wait, forgot about the TURBOZDSFASSZ TIMERZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ KING OF THE STREET GOTTA LET BUSTY T25 COOL DOWN.

Here is a link that may help you s14 guys. http://forums.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=120107&highlight=nicopress I did the same thing with my s13, except I didn't have to cut my cable. I just made a bracket to bolt the cables on tight. If you guys are in socal, burbank area, there is a company called ver sales and they made me a new ebrake cable. The cable is the one that bolts onto the handle. The used a new threaded stud fitting, copy the link to see, http://versales.com/ns/cable_fittings/thrdstd.html. Then they made me a longer cable with a new copper stopper at the end. i just told them how much longer i needed the cable. The e-brake handle is firm as hell now. FYI. I don;t have pics because I just got done installing the parts this weekend. But the bracket took a while to make and fit. Now I have 2 adjustments. One on the ebrake handle and one on the bracket.

[INeedNewTires]

turns out those ebay extensions are 9 inches long!!! fuck THAT. i only need 3 or 4.

Hybrid22l: yea i seriously contemplated just extending that part of the cable, but i was trying a different route by just extending the threads on that adjustmet screw piece, ended up i need about 3-4 inches and that was too much because of the angle while the ebrake is pulled up it hit the tranny tunnel. So i think i'm just gonna get some wire crimp barrels at lowes and double em up, cut the stock cables and extend them.

Anyone tried this? seems like the cheapest, easiest, quickest way to fix the issue. I want ebrake by christmas so going the "safer" route probably isint gonna happen. But they use those barrels for garage door openers and they support tons of weight, so i figure if i put 2 on each cable then that should be fine.

Ah, I don't drift. That explains it.

[INeedNewTires]

yea thats what i'm going to do , nice lil bracket Clawhammer looks like you just bent an L bracket, pretty cool. I dont have rear sway bar but i'm splicing under the driveshaft so i'll need to make something like the dude in the freshalloy post did. that was an AWESOME bracket/writeup thanks for the link hybrid22l i'll take some pics and post em later i guess

[hybrid22l]

If you need the swagger tool, lmk. i bought one and didn;t need to use it because I got the guy at ver sales to make me a neww cable. LMK if you want it, I'll let it go cheap. It usually retails over 100 bucks. The tin plated copper oval sleeves for the crimping can be bought at ver sales as well. FYI

well i have r33 on my s13 and i have zero problems with mine. i just made this bracket, and i didnt have to cut anything.

[INeedNewTires]

what are you guys talking about $100 for tool and $10 a piece for the pieces?! i bought 1/8" ferrules at home depot for $1.33 a pair! the official crimping tool is $27 or you can use just a regular wire crimper! sounds like you guys got jipped!

Thats a good deal for someone with an s14 with Z32 ebrake setup.

but

In my case I have an S13 with J30 equipement and Z32/R33 cables will not work whatsoever with J30 ebrake so the above is the way you would do them.
