Its not really attached by anything. Like I said it's just a rubber-like tube around the metal handbrake itself. I suppose when they first put it on it was greased or something to make it slide on, but I found it very difficult to get it off without cutting it. Someone else might have a better idea.

I replaced mine with an aftermarket one anyway, so I wasn't bothered.

how the hell did you do that? ive butchered both my handbrakes (spare and one on car) trying to do this

please reveal the secret... :P

i had the same problem, mine was tattered and looked like shit. i had a spare handbrake and just took the handbrake assembly apart and mounted the spare (better) one on the only mechanism.

ok what you have to do, is take the leather boot off

then get a thin flat head screw driver under neither the handle from behind and pry it open a bit

then get a can of WD-40 with one of those long thin nossle things and get as much under the handle as you can

then twist and it will eventually work the lubricant under and it will slide off

also what i found helpful is getting a rag and some multigrips to get a good grip on it to twist

good luck :D

Ive done it & f*** it wasnt easy lol.

I used a flat head screw driver and stabbed it in all round as deep as i could from both ends of the handle. After an hour of doing so i was able to start twisting it off.

have FUN!

haha yeah i gotta momo one sitting around, glad to find this post, ive been struggling with it for the past couple of weeks.

the button sizes are different on the momo handle i got though thats why i didnt cut it off, i was kinda scared the momo wouldnt fit on and i would need to replace the old one ..

gonna try lubing it up soon then cheers

these momo grips etc you guys have...

do they replace the button aswell? basically got this shithouse drift button thing that always falls out and wont always engage without f**king around with it. really annoying.

but i have no spare original button and i think the rod which the button screws onto looks rooted (ie thread is wrecked)

any links to what they are? where i can get one from?

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
