Hello Everyone,

I want to know how to adjust the parking brake on a '04 G35 RWD Automatic. It doesn't seem to hold the car very well. The parking brake pedal has to go all the way to the floor before any safe grip on a hill is generated.

Are there instructions on here for adjustment that someone can point me towards.

Thanks

 

Search my posts in the suspension/brake section. I detail it with pics

 

Here's a recent thread detailing the solution:

can anybody make their rear wheels stop completely and squeal while driving say around 10mph or more by grabbing the e-brake lever like they do in the movies? i can't seem to do that the car just gradually slowls down

 

Tried it numerous times on my Volvo's, especially in the winter, and you're right-- it's slow stop. It may be that these are not boosted by a master cylinder like they are when you press the brake pedal. A bigger question would be-- why would you need or want to do this?

 

well i don't abuse my car but sometimes i like to give it a little gas when i turn the corner and have my back sway from side to side a little, just got brand new tires won't be doin that for some time, i drive as normal as u can drive 95% of the time, i must say the back sways out of control somehow i used to do this with my 89 supra and it wouldn't go out of control as much, i don't feel safe in my G doing that maybe the G has too much power

 

If you cut your front brake lines it will do it every time you hit the brake. You should try it

 

On this forum.... watch someone try it and report back!
