i just bought a 1989 s13with 240k miles and it runs like a champ this car is amazing. came with a eibach suspension ans 17"wheels for 700 dollars.guy thought it had a bad blown head gasket turms out bad fuel pump. thanks for the help with that. this car is sweet, but how do you tighten the e brake cable on a 89 240.

 

Welcome to the forums


Lift up the emergency brake handle, there will be a nut underneath it to tighten the cable.

i love autozone.

 

thanks finally might be able to get some what side ways.

 

Oh my god, look what you guys have done. Why did you tell him that?
Real men get sideways with the throttle. Parking brakes should be for parking and nothing else.

 

yea with my s13 theres not to much throttle left.

 

just rev it up to like 6 grand and dump the clutch around a corner.

 

JR of the Falken drift team uses the E-Brake in his S-13!

 

Blown headgasket turns out to be a bad fuel pump...why can't tron catch a deal?

Adjust the ebrake with this 10mm nut and you don't need to remove all that stuff, I was doing other things!

 

somehow i see this turning out bad

 

None of this is good, keep it off the streets and welcome aboard!

And Ryguy, it's called an Emergency Brake, not a parking brake, a parking brake is the brake that is on the floor that is depressed with the left foot when parking on a hill in an automatic vehicle.

Also, the Emergency Brake is a very effective means of inducing oversteer, carrying oversteer, counter-acting understeer or following through with a drift, it is by no sense of the matter in any implication a means of deviating from drifting in any form.

But then again, lets keep driving discussion to it's appropriate forum.

-open diff = no drift-

 

Not necessarily true...

the fsm calls it parking break. iirc the dmv manual states that any time a vehicle is parked the parking/e brake must be applied.

i could be wrong but other than that i agree 100%

 

Stig I am going to have to disagree with you. How many times have you ever heard of somebody using the handbrake in an emergency situation? Probably never. It doesnt even stop the car worth a damn. How often do people with a manual use it to park? All the time.
