Hey,

Just want to confirm I got the correct braided brake lines as they look completely different to whats on the car.

I've attached a pic of what the R32 GTR ones look like from the Markk group buy on ADR approved lines.

Is this the correct ones for an R33?

They don't look anything like whats on there now so I'm not sure about fitting them on....

Has anyone fitted there R33 GTR's ones?

Are these the correct lines?

Apologies for the terrible pictures, I don't want to take it out of the packaging if it is the wrong one....

Regards,

Gareth

Yeah, i received the incorrect ones, but it was no ones fault. Ive got a 93 r32 gtst M spec which should use the gtr ones pictured above, but it uses normal r32 ones which do not have the 'V' shape for the front lines. Ring Goran at Brakewest if you have any further problems. His customer service is excellent.

Shaun.

They are the right hoses mate.

PM sent with further details.

Cheers

Thanks a lot Mark.

I think my current ones must be aftermarket then, I have a 1 piece brake hose on the front with a bracket there to hold it, it doesn't look like these particular lines will be able to connect.

I might need some other parts to put these in.

Does anyone have a picture of what the factory R33 GTR lines look like?

I'll try and post pictures of what my ones look like tomorrow.

I created this thread to confirm that they are standard lines.

But still no idea how to fit them, does anyone have an install guide for the braided brake lines?

Or any tips on how you installed them? I can't see how they would connect the existing system doesn't have block connectors on it at all.

Thanks,

Gareth

if they are the correct lines you should just unbolt your old ones from the caliper on one end and from the hard metal line at the other end, then install the new lines in their place. same process for front and rear. if that wont work then you have the wrong lines.

I don't know which thread to respond in, so this is a quote from the other one.

I can't see what your problem is. The braided kit only replaces the 2 rubber hoses, the standard steel hoses remain.

On the front, the block bolts to the upright.

One braided hose (from memory the longer one) goes from the block to the inner guard where it joins the steel tube at the right angle bracket on the inner guard.

The other braided hose (from memory the shorter one) goes from the block to the joint for the steel tube that goes to the calliper.

On the rear, the block end of the braided hose bolts to the steel hose that goes to the calliper.

The other end of the braided hose joins the steel tube at the right angle bracket on the inner guard .

Cheers

Gary

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
