Yes I will be able to get them for a WRX, however you will have to wait for the next group buy if you don't mind waiting. As soon as this group buy is over (within the next week or so) I will open up the next group buy.

i'm 100% in for the next group buy :cool:

can you pm me when you start the next one?

Cheers

together with the clutchlines!

Hahaha yeah, yeah ;)

I actually sent them an email for pricing for the clutch lines so will hopefully get back to every one soon regarding that. As a quick rough price so people know what to expect it should be under $50 delivered Australia wide, but will give an exact price once I receive pricing.

I also need to find out from them whether their clutch lines replace everything from factory (around 70cm) or just replaces the small factory rubber line (around 10cm). Hopefully their kits replace everything, but once again I will give people updates on all of that at a later date.

Lets finish this one off first :D

Just a heads up

Have you actually received any photos of each model brake lines to show exactly what they are suppling?

Not the generic pic's they show on the website

The reason I ask, I just received a set of lines from Hel Australia. The are totally wrong. They do not have any of the factory style mounting blocks on the line. When I contacted them, they have told me they cannot supply them at all and can not help me. So now I have a pile of crap that is usless.

I ordered R33GTR fronts and the rears were suppose to be R33 GTST. I have a AWD stagea with skyline calipers, hence the odd combination.

I actually ordered them thru a site sponsor on here, so I will not name them. Need to sort it out with them for a refund.

Hey man, I have not seen exact photos of the GTST and GTR kits, however I did a bit of research before hand on the UK forums and others and never read anything about people having dramas to fit them. To my understanding they are the same fitting wise as to any other aftermarket braided line kit. I tried to ensure I was only ordering kits for specific vehicles and hence I didn't order any Stagea kits as I myself was not sure what fitted what. I'm sorry to hear for your problems, hopefully none of us have any dramas and you sort yours out.

Not to long now :)

I would also be interested in pics of actual product. Want to know if the r33 gtr lines bolt right up to the caliper (using bango bolt & eyelet - assumption made from the pic), or do you need the small peice of hard line from the caliper as with stock rubber lines.

Once I get the kits (any day now hopefully) I will install mine and post heaps of pics in a DIY thread. Hopefully there is no dramas with fitting and it is pretty straight forward.

You are right though, the GTR uses a hard line behind the caliper, where as a GTST does not from my understanding. So not sure how the kits go with bolting up within the different models. If anything I would assume they retain the hard line on the GTR since a hard line wouldn't expand like a rubber hose would, but I do not know, just my assumption.

Nothing yet :( I'm waiting on a reply about the tracking number so I can see where it is at. However I thought it would be here allready so hoping tomorrow.

Just a safety note guys, if you haven't worked on or fitted brake parts before make sure you get some professional help.

Its not a hard job but done wrong you may end up in the sh1t.

No point in upgrading your brakes and then not fitting or bleeding them right and doing damage, or worse still, crashing.

Lol yeah probably a good point. My DIY will help but as you have said, if people aren't confident don't do it yourself and then blame me :P

Also guys no kits today, am a bit pissed off about it and they still havn't replied to my email regarding the tracking number. Guess I can't do much other than wait.

Really sorry guys :P

Nothing guys. The lack of communication now is becoming irritating. Still no tracking number has been sent to me so I don't know how far off the kits actually are. I'm going to email them again now so please bare with me. Once again sorry for this delay guys, but we shall get there in the end.

Righteo guys, still nothing and I aint happy. I'm calling England tonight to see where the f**k these brake lines are. 2-3 days delivery my ass. Havn't had a reply from them for over a week now even though I have sent three emails asking for the tracking number. I'll let you guys know what they say.

Keep cool guys, last time I got something from England it ended up coming by sea and took 3 months.

Its a big company, so the goods will arrive sooner than later.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
