Well, after yesterdays post of getting the Z fired up I couldn't help myself but to take the car out for a spin.
I hooked up the e-brake again, figuring if I couldn't get the other brakes to work that would at least let me slow down if necessary!
Once I had the e-brake hooked up I took the block out from the back wheel and started the car up. I rolled down the driveway, and to my suprise, both the e-brake and brake pedal worked! I didn't drive far, about 1/4 mile down the street to a small school parking lot. I just wanted to test out the transmission so I figured the school was the perfect place to head to.
I made it exactly once around the parking lot and a security truck showed up, good timing, so, home I went. The car drove fine, doesn't seem to want to get above 3k rpms, but the shifting seemed to be solid, which is really all I wanted to confirm.
