I have a 92 240sx withva ka24det I go drifting with it but cant seem to get this hanbrake functioning which is an essential part for drifting. The handbrake is from glow shift. I installed it. There is fluid before and after the handbrake and my rear brakes still work but when u pull the handbrake it applies very little force to the rear brakes so Wat's going on cause everyone I know with one of these says they barely pull it and it locks up the rear wheels. Any help would be great thanks

Really ok ill give that a try. I just figured it should work cause when I push the brake pedal in I cant turn turn the rear wheels. So I figured whenvi pull the handbrake I should get the same result but I dont

Ok something else I notice when I pull up on the handbrake it only goes a quarter of the way and gets tight but if u crack the bleeder valve on the Galilee it pulls up the entire way
