Handbrake setup question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys, I mainly just browse builds and stuff on this site but I finally have a question. I've searched but can't find anything so if someone could help me out that'd be great. I was thinking of a plumbing setup for a handbrake. So the simplest way to put this is when i pull on the handbrake to lock up the rear wheels it disengages the clutch at the same time. Now the main question is would this be a good idea for drifting or not? If so has anyone done this yet?

da fuq?
na dawg, tap into the rear brake line not clutch line. you disengage the clutch with your left foot when you yank the ebrake.

I don't think you're getting what i was trying to say. I'd have this setup so I don't have to press the clutch in when i yank on the handbrake. the handbrake isn't getting it's fluid from the clutch line, it has it's own reservoir. there's a check valve in-line so when I press the clutch pedal in it won't lock the rear wheels up. Make sense?

So pressing in the clutch is that big of a chore for you man?

No, just one less thing to worry about. I'm guessing getting a straight answer is too much of a chore
