Right Parking Brake Cable - 1991 300ZX Z32

When sourcing a right parking brake cable for your Nissan Z32, confirm the 2-seater short-wheelbase chassis and look for part numbers 36402-40P01 or its supersession 36402-40P02. This cable routes from the center console through the right chassis rail, terminating at the rear caliper parking brake lever. Junkyard hunters should target 1990-1996 300ZX 2-seaters exclusively; the 2+2 models use incompatible longer cables. Inspect the caliper-end clevis for oval wear and the conduit for rust-induced internal seizure—common failures in snow-belt cars. Installation requires removing the center console trim and dropping the exhaust mid-pipe to access the chassis clips. Thread the cable through the backing plate before attaching the caliper, ensuring the housing seats fully in the bracket. Adjust the equalizer nut beneath the console to achieve 3-5 clicks of pedal travel, and verify the caliper lever returns fully to its stop to prevent premature stretching.
