Only reason i am worrying about it is that i don't think there is any mechanic who has done this job before (in Lebanon) suspension/steering upgrades aren't common where i live.
That's why i hoped i could find a kit or a bolt on that will increase steering.

dude. this is the funniest thread i've read in a long time.

I've been talking with Michael Scherr(MichaZ) to get some hints on drifting the Z

So things i will be buying are: -Koyo radiator
-Upgraded Clutch
-Selin translator
-Tein coilovers
-Hydraulic handbrake + new OEM ebrake cables.

The thing is i don't know where to get that hydraulic handbrake. Does anyone know where i could buy a good one ?
-Another thing is that low steering angle on the Z, i know michaZ fabricated his custom parts and increased alot his steering angle. I'm no mechanic to do that so if anyone has an idea on how to increase steering angle it would be appreciated.

Current mod list: -JWT pop charger
-Specialty Z ECU chip + boost jets running 15psi
-Specialty Z 2.5" Divorced Dps
-Custom Dp-back 2.5" exhaust
-Z1 Intake Hard Pipes
-Z1 hicas elimination bar
-300 Degree Brake Master Cylinder Brace
-SPL Bronze shifter bushings
_Jspec tails
-AIV,PRVR,Carbon Canister,-Cruise Control Deleted

Sam, did you end up getting a Hydraulic Hand brake? which one did you go with? i'm curious about this myself. If you did end up buying one, I hope that by now you've realized that everything that these people were saying against your idea of using a hydraulic handbrake is completely null and void. Because NOBODY on this thread understands HOW HHBs operate... LOL. I hope you did end up installing one. I know I am, it will probably be one of the first mods I do. and I will ALSO replace my eBrake cables AND adjust my stock Handbrake because you still need a redundant braking system in the event of a hydraulic failure.

Hoov and Zlover should do more googling and less telling people to google things.

peace out girl scouts
Atown down.

josh out.
