Parking brake & pads change on 2002+ Q45?

[carnut]

Hi,Is parking brake using the same pads (2002 Q45) as the main brake or is it a different set of pads/shoes on internal drum?

In other words, will a weaker parking brake become stronger after regular rear pads change? Or the parking brake should be adjusted independently as it is not affected at all by a state of the main pads (as it is the case in most other cars)?

BTW, are there any service manuals on the market for this car? I'm using http://www.alldata.com, but they are not very detailed in many sections..thanks

The pads are separate on internal rear drums. They must be adjusted independently. A manual may possibly be found online, or downloaded from Nissan at http://www.infinititechinfo.com
