Hey all, I just ordered these ($270, still need to be told delivery cost):

http://www.perfectrun.com.au/performance%2...ppbrakeline.htm

Are APP any good? I was contemplating the Endless ones, but for $350ish plus delivery I went with the APP brand. I might get the clutch line as well when I get the funds for the clutch itself as well....

There was 2 group buys but I decided against them (although 1 ended in August):

I use the nismo lines on my GTR and they are very high quality. If anything though the APP ones are just as good or better. They are not specifically ADR approved, but I would suggest their design and manufacture do meet ADRs, they just have never sought or gained 'approval' (if in fact such a thing exists).

I thought www.braidedlines.com.au had the strangle-hold on ADR approved lines?!?!

Just a vague memory.

The difference between an ADR approved braided line and not is a little rubber sleeve that goes inbetween the hose and the connector when its crushed. It'll have a compliance number on it... That's the only difference, line and fittings are exactly the same!

Any of your local ABS service centres can make ADR approved lines! :cool:

Thats not correct because the goodridge hoses are ADR approved and they don't have the rubber sleeve

I quickly searched for tutorials but theres none on changing brake lines. Is it easy or hard to do? I have to replace my front wheel barrings soon so I can do both.

Tom they are not hard to do. The hardest part of the process is getting hold of a brake bleeder etc to do the job.....bit messy too :cool:

What Mr keets says it correct...tech they make your car illegal and unroadworthy but I am yet to hear of a claim or otherwise (roadworthy etc) being knocked back because of them.

I really do need to bleed the brakes again I think (or get a new brake booster). I can hold my foot at a certain point in the brake and I get a constant squealing sound :P

Do Nissan sell the brake bleeders or are they a supercheap item?

Are you sure the squealing isn't coming from the actual brake pads/rotors? It is a common thing on skylines and I'm sure a search here would bring a heap of threads about it. Does the pedal feel soft...ie you brake at a point and to maintain the same braking force the brake pedal drops more?

Brake bleeders are basically a hand pump (although you can get elec ones)....you disconnect the brake line at the caliper, attach the bleeder to the system and pump the fluid out. You also use it once you are finished to get all the air out the system. Most tool places have them....

No, its defaintely a booster or master cylinder seal because if I get it in the right spot it just keeps on and on squealing ..... ( :P ). It happens everytime I stop. Pedal is soft also but thats what ABS does anyway isn't it?!

I bled the brakes through the ABS bleed holes last time so maybe that was the problem.....

hi guys im currently in the middle of a brake upgrade on my r33 gtst, im going to run rda slotted rotors on all 4 corners as with QFM pads, whilst i was swapping out the front rotors today i notice that on one side the hard line that runs into the caliper from the bracket where the hard line turns to a rubber line is broken.

can u get these from any decent brake store or do they need to come from nissan?, i wouldnt mind upgrading to braided lines but does this replace the hard lines alltogether by just running straight to the caliper?

all help much apprietiated

cheers nick

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
