SSflyer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Need some help on how to adjust the parking brake cables. I did the 280ZX rear brake upgrade on my 280, but I can't get the parking brake to work. It looks like the e-brake arm on the caliper runs out of play before the pads hit the rotor. The brake holds a little, but not enough to do any real good. I saw a post a while ago where someone said they worked the e-brake lever about 50 times to make the thing function correctly, but the ZX service guide says nothing about that. What's the secret?

jeromio Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I could never get enough travel out of the S30 e-brake lever setup. The caliper's lever needs more pull than the drum. I put spacers on the cable ends at the caliper. After years of having just the slightest parking brake, that needed constant twiddling, I switched to a zx (S130) cable setup. But I'm having problems with that too - the middle cable (that attaches to the handle lever) is too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben's Z Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Anyone find an answer? Does using the adjuster under the driveshaft work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
