The e-brake on the 350Z is a drum style E brake inside the rear rotor, which I assume it to be the same on the 370Z. This makes them very weak for drifting that is why most people who drift 350's have added hydro e-brakes.

The drum should be okay for parking, unless on a large incline, but then it should be put in gear, although I am not a fan of leaving the car in gear while parked.
