GKTech Cable to Hydraulic Hidden Handbrake Assembly

GKTech Hydraulic Handbrake

The GKTech cable-to-hydraulic hidden handbrake is designed for drivers who want the instant rear wheel lock of a hydraulic handbrake while maintaining a clean OEM appearance by retaining the factory handbrake lever. Mounted discreetly inside the center console, the system operates using the original lever, keeping the interior looking completely stock and untouched from the outside.

Supplied with the bracket assembly and your choice of master cylinder configuration (stand-alone or in-line), this setup was originally developed for Nissan S13/S14 transmission tunnels but has proven compatible with many other vehicles over the years. It also retains the OEM locking mechanism for parking brake functionality and is suitable for both LHD and RHD vehicles.

For quick, easy and safe mounting, select the optional hose kit above!

With the above hose kit, fitment will be direct on the vast majority of cars used for drifting (Nissan S13, S14, S15, Skyline, BMW E30, E36, AE86...). The hoses provided simply replace your stock rear brake line, and add the handbrake assembly into the middle. They connect at the front to the master cylinder/ABS unit and into the rear caliper T-piece at the rear of the car. See the picture below for a diagram.
