Sorry guys this seems to be an ongoing saga to fix a soft braking issue. Problem is that brake pedal is soft and doughy to a point then rock hard (doesnt loose fluid and been bled well). Had a look at my master cylinder and for the front its only using the one line out of the BMC then uses a T peice to branch left and right. I have attatched pics. Its from a Z32 ABS model. Apparently the non ABS uses duel feed lines to the front from the BMC. Is it worth grabbing non ABS to fix my problem and improve braking. Current set up S14 front and 300zx rear calipers. (new endless pads going in soon and possibly R33 gtst/gtr caliper upgrade on front)

Cheers for the help in advance.

Dont know why its braided was like it when I got it, quite possible that the front had the two ports from the old BMC, Then the BMC has be "upgraded" and only one port for the front so maybe was easier to disguard the alluminium and go with braided to create the two into one.

Diameter dont know the internal size, will have to check it out. good point. Havent taken it to expert yet as no money (Rego green slip due). But was going to wait untill new pads and rear rotors are machined. If that doesnt fix it then new master cyl. and if that doesnt fx it then take it to the experts (should have some money then). I spose I am trying to eliminate things with peoples advise.

Hey guys

Just thought I would finish this thread off

Just finished bolting on GTR calipers and rotors, BM 44 (skyline and S14) brake master and the difference is amazing. was locking up everywhere hardly been able to do that before. Did have some leaks through the old braided connections so I went with the minimum I could do in terms of connections and its now great, super in fact.

Cheers for everyones input

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
