Quote on website for those cross drilled lines is awesome:

"by Michael Ham Date Added: 01/17/2006

Man, do these ever work! I installed them on my Nissan Maxima and that sucker actually seemed to pick up speed after I applied the brakes as I neared the intersection. Definitely improves speed and acceleration!

Wow.....now if only I could get me some of those lines that make you accelerate when you push the brake pedal. They think of everything these days.

ADR approved (or compliant with the current rules) brake lines will give you ultimate FAIL on the race track. ADR brake lines are NOT designed for track work. You need CAMS approved lines for that, but you guessed it, CAMS approved lines are not ADR approved, ergo, roadworthy. They will cope with the pressure but i don't know why they are not legal.

I would get CAMS approved lines and forget about police troubles. Brake West do CAMS lines after i brought this up in the group buy. If you're planning to track the car at all, you're playing with fire if you get the ADR lines.

What about light track work with ADR approved lines, just afew times a year at the track. Still not recommend them? It seems for the price you get ADR approved here, you can import Nismo/APP lines for about the same price.

oh no! my brake lines are going to explode. As are the lines on every car sold on the Australian market....

You'll be fine moodles. I've used maltech lines for years in a couple of different cars for plenty of track work

referring to the group buy ADR lines as they were crimped in the wrong way. i don't know the specifics, but i can't speak for any other lines outside of the group buys ADR ones already mentioned in this thread

i'm pretty sure if you got braided lines made up by maltech, etc, they would be a different design to the group buy ADR ones from Brake West

The round fitting is what's called a "banjo" fitting. You will also need banjo bolts and copper washers (2 per banjo fitting) to complete the job.

This only applies if you've removed the double flare seat from the bottom of the brake line threaded hole.

Hey Dale,

How do you remove flare seat from the threaded hole off the calipers?

I swapped R32 Sumitomo GTR calipers (flare fitting) for R32 GTS25 (banjo fitting) and intend to use the existing hose with the banjo fitting at the end.

Looks like I may be able to get away without having to remove the flare seat, but not 100% sure if banjo bolt with bottom out against the flare seat.

Also, when you went banjo, did you machine the mating surface flat?

Thanks,

Sam

Hey guys, are HPI brake lines from Just Jap any good? I've never heard of HPI but they seem to think its fairly reputable Jap brand. A set for an R32 GTR is going for $399. What do the nismo ones go for?

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
