Hey so just got my S14 about a month ago the ebrake doesn't lock the wheels very well, any ideas?

A) Brake pads/rotors suck.
B) E-brake cable needs to be tightened/replaced.
C) Your rear tires are too wide/big.

There's your options.

Inspect first then ask. Also check the FSM for procedures.

Most likely A. Brake pads/rotors.

Cable could be loose. There is a hole in the e brake handle, stick a 10mm socket in there, tighten. Could possibly be that easy.........

damn, you think that the tires being too big would really make a difference? i think the stickyness of the tires would matter more than the size. never really cared about trying to lock up the rear myself.
