The Project mu shoes are just overpriced shoes. I hope you did a search, but even if you did I'm sure you found nothing about that on a forum like this.

You replaced your old worn shoes, so you're on the right track. What you're supposed to do is, adjust the shoes to a wider position, so that when you pull the ebrake lever, it'll bite harder and lock. If you want more info you should do a search on zilvia or my350z

^^ What he said, that also helps, there should be another point of cable ajustment on the bottom of the chassis. And what do you mean you don't want it too tight? You said drifting, so you want the ebrake to lock the rear wheels.

Or if you wanna go hard core, do a hydro ebrake
