I'm having trouble with my z32 ebrake setup on my s14.

Adjusted the slack out of the cable at the lever, and adjusted the star wheels so that the brakes will hold the car on my relatively steep driveway at about 7-8 clicks on the lever.

After a week it seems to be loose again and will need to be pulled much farther up to hold the car.

Ebrake wont lock rear wheels while rolling unless I also tap the service brake.

Is there a trick i'm missing or is the hardware just out of shape?

Which cable are you using, and what is mounting point location?

yeah, sounds like a cable issue.

I loosened the handle adjusment, then tightened the star wheels until the wheels lock, then clicked it back 2 to open it back up, then tightened the handle again. Even after doing this, my handle adjustment is pretty much maxed out to lock my rear wheels. I'm using R33 lines.

brand new r33 lines as well...I'll try loosening the handle and adjusting again.
