Hang on, I'll go outside and have a proper look at mine.....

Ok, they're pretty much the same as what you're done only the run is straighter and they're jammed tight between the subframe and fuel tank... As soon as it gets to the transmission tunnel and into those silver clips you should be laughing
Not a tight fit on mine at all
Hmm... there is, of course, every possibility that our cables are different!
Like I said, it is only about 1" short now, and with a bit of fiddling I may be able to stretch the slack out of the handbrake and pull the end onto the clip. I can then de-adjust the drums if need be.
I spent today doing the drivers side swap, so will look tomorrowIt took a good hour to seperate the hub/upright AGAIN!

should have just been lazy and fitted a complete R33 subframe
just a quick check that the obvious hasn't been overlooked, is the cable from the lever to the subframe slackened off all the way?
Sounds like you have the wrong cables mate
I wouldn't bother stretching then, just find some way of joining the S14 ends to the cables you've got

seriously ?
I was about to put a hydroilc handbreak system on the Z32 calipers, so as to get rid of this...
Make sure its a "locking" one or it will fail the MOT ive been told.
Butuz
I reckon
No, the handbrake lever isn't up!should have just been lazy and fitted a complete R33 subframe

I'll be geting under the car tonight with torch and camera, so will take some photo's...
Out of curiosity, if I needed to clamp an extra length of cable to the Z32 cables, how would I attach the two, so that they can take the tension?All I can find on google is these:

Remind me to have a good look under yours at JAE, as I'll be doing this a couple of week after it seems.

Scroll down - bulldog clamp
Good Luck...
I need to fit S13 brakes to mine...
Not looking forward to it at all
I thought Matt_S invented SXOC
Lol, you'll have fun trying to split the hubs from the uprights
Ben, another thought, do yoh have the part numbers or any pics of the cables you used?
Ive done it all before on breakers and my Sileighty, so I know what Ive got to go through....
Which is also why Ive left it so long
I thought Matt_S invented SXOC
i found it easy to split them with as big copper mallet, just hammered ther feck out of them, the whole conversion i did in a day and it was quite easy really
Don't have any pics but can get you the part numbers
I wouldnt mind the part number, as I'm not having any luck sourcing a used cable (although I havent yet rung the skyline breakers @ Nuneaton)
Yes pleaseDon't have any pics but can get you the part numbers
I can check on FAST then, to see if the ones I have look like the ones I should have!
