Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace my Nissan handbrake cable?

How long do handbrake cables last on my Nissan?
Handbrake cables typically last as long as the car does if they are properly maintained. However, this is an ideal scenario, ultimately how long a handbrake cable will last depends on how the car is used. For example, if the handbrake is overused, the cables can get stretched over time.
