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.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
