Not trying to thread jack, but did anyone think the results of the fifth gear test would have been different if they used a 370z coupe instead of the roadster?

No. And don't jack the thread.

Well mine seems to do the job... but definitely not tight enough for any maneuvers. May have to look into this....

:iagree:And... most people don't really want to lock-up the rear wheels at speed. They just want an e-brake that does its job... to hold the rear wheels while parked.

ThE trick for ebrake drifting is to clutch in while yanking the ebrake. Jus pulling on it won't do anything without the clutch depressed

hmm thanks for bumping this up. Need to look into it.

I don't know about you guys but I'm seriously impressed that Nissan was thoughtful enough to use a separate Drum Assy in the rear rotor for Ebrake. Coming from a 2012 Honda Coupe EXLV6 - damn nice car, but Honda used the rear disc rotor for Ebrake. I must use the Z e brake due to parking on a hill. I'm happy that my calipers aren't being used for Ebraking. Nice Job, Nissan!

Bump for later reference.

I don't see a separate drum assembly. Could you take a pic of it please?

you have to remove the rear rotor, its inside.

You bumped this from last year for that comment? :rofl2:

An earth-shattering addition to an already remarkable thread. Truly, a sight to behold. :p
