s13 e-brake wont lock up wheels

The car is a 91 hatch and i have been having problems with locking up the rear wheels. The e-brake works fine for parking but not so well for sliding. I tried tightening the 10mm bolt inside the e-brake boot but that just made it harder to pull with same crappy results...any help is appreciated.

Bleed your system but get new pads. My girl feels tighter after that usually....

pop the wheels off. adjust it that way if u need to afterwards.

Mine where on some bullshit too, but thats cause my giude pins where seized...
Check that out too.
And upgrade ur pads if u can.

try tightening the bracket above the drive shaft or check the calipers its kinda hard to tell unless im driving it

when you are talking about drifting.. are you doing any weight transfer? my ebrake wont lock up either if i am driving straight and rip the ebrake.
this might be a dumb question. but are you pushing in the clutch when you rip the ebrake?

you might have a siezed caliper? i know one of mine is siezed and it wont lock up at all

What the fuck are you talking about?
haha.

the term weight transfer reminds me of the first Grand Turismo game...


And the 900 HP Supra i had in it.

GOOD PADS..problem solved. I ran into the same problem, car would hold when I put the ebrake up but wouldn't lock the wheels. Even after I adusted the cable. Ordered some project mu pads from touge factory, ebrake all day...
