anyone? is it under the cup holder? if so how do i remove the cup holder?

 

no one?

 

Sorry, haven't done it myself. Plus I'm not sure if the '05 and '03 would be the same to begin with...

 

Try getting a copy of the service manual. It should tell you how to do that.

 

.....Parking Brake......

idk

 

its depends exactly what month 03 your car is. I have an early 11/02 2003 g35 coupe, that means I have the earliest and non armrest center console (actually the same as a 350z console). The later 2003.5 g35 coupes got an armrest and console with a different configuration with non removable.

All i had to do was remove the coin holder by lifting up and turn the nut to chagne the height the ebrake has to be lifted.

If you have later years I beleive you have to remove your console to chagne it.

 

yeah i have the later '03 with the armrest. damn that sucks. i would think they would make it so you wouldn't have to take the whole arm rest off. anyone else with an g35 with the armrest ever adjust their ebrake?

 

^Did you mean the handle itself? If it's just the handle you actually have to adjust it from the rotor itself.

 

you're right if you have to actually adjust the parking brake in the hub itself but if you're just adjusting the parking brake lever itself, it's just the adjuster screw located under the cup holder area.

To adjust the brake handle:

just pull up on the coin holder closest to the drivers seat in the cup holder area and the adjuster nut for the parking brake handle is right there. takes a 10mm deep socket and a swivel would be handy.

i wish the service manual would include is info lol would make peoples lives alot easier...anywayz hope this helps someone else in the future.
