Hey guys

I'm organising a group buy for a full kit (front and rear) of HEL stainless steel braided brake lines.

aw11-kit.gif

All HEL hoses are legal to be fitted to any vehicle worldwide and have FMVSS-106, ADR, LTSA and DOT and TUV approval.

These kits cost anywhere from $150 - $200+ in Aus.

If we can get ten (10) or more kits than the price will be $115 Delivered Australia wide.

Now most of us have factory brake lines that in some cases can be 20 years old for R32's and 15 years old for R33's; for optimum performance, these are due for replacement! However a factory replacement set of rubber brake lines costs more than this group buy price!

To put it into perspective a Nismo braided brake line kit from Nengun will set you back over $300 delivered so this is bloody cheap. I was prepared to pay more than this but this price is fantastic.

I'm going to be purchasing a set with this group buy myself and will post up pictures of the installing to assist anyone with the installation. I will be using Motul fluid which I recommend every one does and the combined upgrade with a good brake bleed should provide a great pedal feel. If you're looking at changing your complete brake fluid soon, you might as well do the lines at the same time.

Some information from HEL's website:

http://www.helcarkits.co.uk/

Despite what the salesman tells you - every modern car has compromises, normally instigated by accountants rather than engineers. One such compromise is the materials used for the brake hoses on your car. Rubber hoses or mild steel fittings are cheap but we all know how rubber hose bulges under pressure, allows brake fluid to absorb water vapour from the atmosphere and that mild steel fittings rust....We manufacture a complete replacement stainless steel brake line kit for any car which is fitted with a hydraulic brake system and as we only ever use stainless steel fittings for the automotive marketplace so we can offer the HEL Lifetime Warranty on all brake line kits.

Manufactured to the highest possible industry standards by Hose Solutions and a carefully selected trained manufacturing outlets, the HEL Performance car brake line kits are brand new to the tuning market, building on the worldwide success the product has had in the motorcycle market for the last 10 years.

Incredible value for money for premium quality braided brake lines.

When you buy HEL Brake Lines, they will be:

• High quality, 100% stainless steel, non-corroding braided brake hoses.

• FMVSS-106, ADR, LTSA, DOT and TUV approved.

• So reliable that they're used in many high performance, racing and custom cars.

• Coated in a wipe-clean PVC cover with a choice of 19 colours.

• Included with a fitting kit if needed, HEL stickers and a lifetime warranty as standard.

These are braided brake lines you can 100% trust in any type of car. Your braking will feel smoother and stronger. That spongy brake feeling will be eliminated, making your brakes crisp and responsive.

So whats available? Well here's the main Nissan import list, however heaps of other kits are available so if there is a different car kit that you want, send me a message and I'll see if it is available. No R34 GTR unfortunately.

• Nissan Skyline R32/R33 GTST

• Nissan Skyline R32/R33 GTR

• Nissan Skyline R34 GTT

• Nissan Skyline R35 GTR

• Nissan Silvia S13

• Nissan Silvia S14

• Nissan Silvia S15

• Nissan Z32 300ZX

Now the HEL kits are available in a few colour choices. However to order each car kit with different colour combinations from England is going to cause dramas with mistakes so I would like to avoid this. Therefore I would rather have all ten kits the same colours so no mistakes are made (if you REALLY need a different colour then PM me and maybe ill look into it but I would rather not for every ones sake). Therefore the colour choice can be voted on but I think it should either be black, silver or clear. At the end of the day who really cares about the colour, but each to their own.

I will keep the group buy open until Sunday 25th April 2010.

After 10 people are gathered I will need full payment within one week, Sunday 2nd May 2010 into my bank account. I will message every one with my account details and ask that you reply with your full mailing address. I will then transfer the money to the supplier once all the money has been transferred and the kits will get sent via FedEX within a week of them having all the kits ready. I will receive the kits and then send them out to you ASAP so you should see them within a few days after this. ETA should be early May if everything goes smoothly.

Please bare with me as this is my first group buy and I hope things will go smoothly for everyone. If you have any further questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them.

Admin, hopefully I have included everything I require into this group buy, if I have left something out please let me know before you lock the thread.

Thanks guys.

Phil

Guys I now realise that waiting three more weeks is probably going to get 50 kits sold at this rate lol. So i'll give it a few more days and see where we are with numbers. If we start to get into 20-25 kits, I think i'll end the group buy at that amount if no one has a problem with this and it aint breaking any rules. I'm just getting worried with the high amount of kits mistakes may be made and customs might start to be a problem. Also I don't know if they just keep 20 kits of each model on the shelf so don't want to cause delays if I give them an order for 30 GTST kits lol.

If we still have a lot of interest and people have a problem that the group buy was closed early I don't really have a problem with doing another one after this one to keep people happy.

Also I have had a few people enquire about clutch line kits and if there is enough interest I could do one for that if people are keen.

With regards to the colouring of the PVC tube, I have decided from seeing every ones comments and talking to friends in the group buy we shall go clear tubing. This means the natural colour of the stainless steel braided line will be visible. Hopefully this is ok.

Thanks guys

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By kindaruined · Posted

      hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
