recently i brought a damaged r34 gtr spoiler and basically all the parts i need are ones nissan doesnt stock. i have some pieces of aluminium i can use to make the bracket between the blade and the spoiler body but for the life of me i cant figure out how it works and what bolts into what theres the four holes for adjustment on the main body and the two on the spoiler blade but i cant figure out what bolts to what any advice or help would be much appreciated

The stock ones didn't use a banjo bolt, just an unnecessary bracket thing, but they screwed in fully whereas the new lines have this hardline tube coming from the threaded part which stops it screwing in more than halfway

The hel lines just ditch the stock bracket thingy and screw in straight to the caliper

Well my current thinking is the lines, I did find paint flaking from the area and looked into whether the 34 lines are right for the conversion and it seems the 34 calipers have a much deeper fitting for the lines, I'm thinking this isn't making a good seal since half the thread is exposed 33 lines are ordered so we'll see if that's it because two sets of good Nick calipers failing can't be a coincidence

Yep

If you pump it up a couple times how is it any different to braking while driving? The only difference is the pads are doing their job

I sat there and pumped it for a while and I can feel a tiny amount under the lines, so I'm replacing the lines, I agree it doesn't make sense but whenever I try it never gets at wet as I expect so I just dismissed it. Still I'm baffled that fluid from the lines can make there way onto the rotor

The problem is it never leaks when the car is stationery, when it picks up speed and I brake there's the hissing noise and it spits fluid, but only when it's moving There's a little fluid around where the line goes in but there's fluid on the edge of the disc aswell and I can't see how the lines could leak onto the disc

Hello, i've recently done a turbo brake conversion on an n/a, all seals replaced and caliper bores and pistons cleaned before installation. but when i took the first drive there was a sound in the rear like fluid being forced out, upon stopping there was fluid on the outer lip of the disc and fluid all around the wheels, not enough to be dangerous but eventually. so i put it down to a faulty caliper as it had a speck or two of surface rust and replaced them with better condition ones, these have the exact same problem and im so confused, im assuming its the piston leaking but im hoping its the new HEL braided lines i installed as the 34 gtt lines have a little bit of thread exposed from the caliper Any help would be really appreciated because i need to drive it and done wanna pay drug money for a shop to look at it
