    its purely for the old skidpan, track day and spur of the moment skids... I really want them to lock up like my old t series drums but instead it just slows me down.. When i bought the diff it had been converted to r31 calipers and 5 stud rotors..I would of opted for the 9inch drums from the hilux.

    Never heard of this before have u got any info on this ?? i have search google for many forms and types nothing like this came up..I am aware that if i want to go hydro setup i would loose my cable break.. but it got me thinking if i were to run an hydro setup and just crimp a fitting to the old handbrake cable and use pilers to pull it tight and lock it off onto a bracket i made in the console area.. What you guys think ??? good idea or not.. I aint to worried about the legal issue more so safety of the setup now

    they have adjusters at the base of the e brake too, just slack it right off by winding it out then use the hydro, then wind it back in later

    i am seriously thinking about it.. so much more easier to lock up the rears , or spend 500$ running a illegal hydro setup
