    Does your handbrake use shoes or the caliper?
    If its the caliper and theyre single pots theyre shit for the hydro wands,might be better off going for a set of calipers off a skyline.

    I had this problem with my PS.
    The handbrake was attached to the caliper and the pistons wind out instead of straight shooting out,if you know what i mean.
    This means it takes ages to get them to lock under hydraulic pressure,theyre actually bettter on the cable,but still pretty shit.

    I binned my rear calipers and discs and got a set off a gtst skyline,bolt straight onto the hubs,only thing is you lose the handbrake for parking.
    For a drift car this is grand but for a road car then you might want to do a full z33/skyline brake setup swap.

    Would the full setup be handy bolt up dose in consist of much? The cable cant work on the caliper no?? Any ideas how much the full setup would cost?

    Are you 4 or 5 stud??
    Usually people do the 5 stud conversion to get it.

    Not sure on price.
    If you're 5 stud already I'm assuming you can just buy the discs,calipers and hanbrake shoe setup and bolt em in as opposed to if you're 4 stud having to change the hubs.
    Pretty handy bolt in job I'm sure.

    The handbrake cable can't be used on the calipers from a z33/skyline.
