Hi,

There is a group buy going for the B&M line lock kits, and i was just wondering if any of the drag racers out there have installed them in a skyline. The reason im asking, is because a place i was going to buy one off ages ago said that i'd need two kits to make it work on a skyline. I dont really understand why, but it turned me off the purchase.

I just wanted to confirm whether this is correct, and ask where on the car have people installed the solenoid and cut the brake line.

Its kinda related to forced induction.

Thanks,

Shaun.

only need one, also if your using it to lock on the front, or lock out the rear, you must reverse the flow path depending on what one you choose. If you locking out the rear install it in the reverse of the flow direction on the valve.

Yeah, mine has ABS.

I just got under the sar, and there is only one line going from the front to the rear, then it splits to each wheel via a distribution block.

Ill upload a pic of this block. Good to know.

Its a very small diameter line to flare though; i wonder how hard it is to install.

Shaun.

Guys you don't put them right....

You must put this solenoid in your front brake line.

If at the brake master cyllinder there are 2 line for the front brakes you need two line locks if you have only one line you need one line lock.

The differense is if the car has or not abs but I don't remember which has two and which one!

You put the BRAKE pedal!!!!

You push the bottun!!!

Leave your brake pedal and forger it...!

Feel free to PLAY with your clutch and your throttle pedal only...!

When you finish the burning.... push again the botton...

AND.... GO!!!!

If you put them in the rear line you still need to push 3 pedals with two foots :wub::P

Problem with that is what if you want to crab walk (aka crawl forward) while doing a burnout. Ide rather have to heel toe it and be able to do rolling burnouts than a boring stationary one

Ps. Installing one of these at the moment. Watch the fittings you put in to them cos they are american and require a special tapered fitting to seal properly. Got an adaptor from a brake parts store but not before I wasted time trying to make my own lines.

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
