Just a quick query, I have never installed lines before, is it something someone of modest mechanical ability can do? I've bled brakes and done some minor mods to my car, but stuffing up the brakes is not something I want to do.

I imagine it'd just a case of bleeding the brakes, undoing some nuts, spilling brake fluid everywhere, putting on new hoses, filling up fluid, bleeding brakes, and off I go, is this right?

Exactly mate.

The most laborious thing is jacking up the car and taking the wheels off.

So who has installed these on their R34 GTTs and what are the results for normal day to day driving?

I have these on my GT-T, and they are great. Not much differance in day to day driving, but the pedal feels firmer on the track.

Hey mate,

Lines were recieved today. Look great. Thanks for the quick delivery and great communication during the whole process.

Cheers.

so is there ANY benefit to fitting these to a non-track used R34GTT?

Yeah! they're sexy!! Nah, seriously they do give a firmer pedal feel on heavier brake applications.

Of course there's a benefit to using braided hoses.

Your pedal feels noticably firmer and braking reponse is more immediate.

A more responsive braking pedal may save you from an accident, because your car will start to slow down as soon as you hit the brake pedal, not when its a 1/4 pressed.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
