Have you checked the handbrake shoes?

Proper way to adjust handbrake is to back it right off at the lever, then tighten it all the way at the drums so it doesn't move, and then back it off 4-5 clicks. Then tighten the lever up till it locks after 5-6 clicks.

hehe my questions r for the benefit of myself and the other stupid ppl to scared to ask :O

any question you ask is stupid justin, hehehe.

the handbrake mechanism is in behind the rear rotors. you pull the rotors off to expose them.

you said you only wanted a pic of the drums shoes :(, anyway heres the Translated version. if there is still plently of meat left on the drum shoes but they have a glazed surface just do what Snowman said. if they are on the skinny side of things replace them, on that note anyone know where to get drum shoes and what price they are?

from the page:

"You do not know why is, but R31 (the Indian ram system) the emergency brake works like the ogre"

hahahahahahahah!!!! :laugh:

URAS make an awesome upgraded handbrake shoe for Skylines - if you plan on doing a fair bit of handbrake stuff for either drifting or motokhana's/autocross. I use them and they make a big difference over the standard shoes.

For stock ones you are probably better off at a wreckers. From what I gather it's one size fits all for skylines.

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
