My 2002 Maxima (manual) used the rear disk brake as the e-brake (unlike most other cars that have a separate drum e-brake). The issue there is that as the car cooled off, the disk contracted and the e-brake would lose grip.

Learned the hard way when I saw my car in the middle of the street one day. Left it in gear every time after that.
