Importnut.net down, and i wsa thinking since i have all the hardware to do the swap i would do it on my new years vacation here. does anyone else know of a good site that covers the swap it like importnut.net did? seems like everyone here just links to that page since it is sutch a good writeup.
Anyone know how long it's been down for? or if anyone saved a copy of that page like i should have
edit: this may be more off topic, but i put it in chat cause it brings up a good point that maby on some of the better write ups we shouldn't rely on outside sited to have them..... like maby asking them to if we could put a copy here or makeing up our own that is just as detailed.

If you have to extend it like I did..

But it sucks imo.. im gonna ditch the whole ebrake eventually and install a hydrolic lever..
or as SCC did it
"The Z parking brake is a small drum brake in the center of the rotor. This design reduces the chance of warping the rear brakes if you set the parking brake while the rotors are hot, but it also means you can't use 240SX parking brake cables. The Z cables are shorter and use different mounting brackets. If you trim off all the mounting brackets and pass the cable between the subframe and body as shown in the photos, the Z cables can be made to work by either clamping them to the stock locations with some homemade clamps, or drilling into the floor and bolting the Z cable's mounting tabs in a new location. Finally, the Z rear brake line attaches to the caliper with a female double flare fitting, while the 240SX uses a banjo fitting. Z brake lines will solve this problem, and Goodridge braided steel Z brake lines will give some added firmness to the brake pedal."
