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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
