Hi guys,

am wondering where can i get braided lines custom made in different lengths in Melbourne?

And yes i tried doing a search and using Advance Search. :)

Thanks!

Hmm, I don't have the company who did my custom brake lines written down, but they were ADR approved.

There are a few places that do them, including that one in Sunshine (Brakewest).

There are also some local places in the South Eastern suburbs, I assume they'd be in the yellow pages....but if you can't find someone I'll try and find out who it was.

re: braided lines for track applications.

Generally speaking, ADR approved lines AREN'T up to scratch for track work (method of construction), very light track work yes, anything above that.... no

Conversely, CAMS approved braided lines generally speaking AREN'T ADR approved, hence illegal to run in a street car.

I reckon you'd be unlucky to get pinged for em, so if you plan on doing any extended periods of track work, get CAMS approved ones.

I don't know the specifics, but the "crimping" method used to make ADR approved lines (adr approved lines will have a rubber bit with the ADR number stamped on it) doesn't cope with heavy use

Apologies for side-tracking the topic but where did you hear that?

I've got a Japanese set of braided lines I'm selling, but if the ADR lines aren't that good I might keep the Japanese set.

Race Brakes (or whoever the SAU sponsor is) and confirmed by the maker of the group buy braided lines at Brake West (sunshine)

Race Brakes make lines for the V8 Supercars, and he explained the difference between a "street" braided line, and a track braided line.

Brake West said they can replace the rubber ADR fittings with metal ones (on the GB lines) to comply with CAMS, but then it's no longer ADR approved.

But you'd prob have to have a switched on officer to know though.... i reckon....

Interesting, I'm not concerned about defects, my lines look like there plastic (black plastic coating over plastic over braided line), my concern is insurance.

Saying I couldn't stop because I didn't have ADR approved lines if something ever happened would be an issue.

Thanks for the information.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
