ADR sleeves arrived and they are finishing off the kits as we speak. So lets pray that they get sent out to me early next week!

We're nearly there boys, just hold out a bit longer on me lol.

I sent off an email asking if we have a tracking number yet so we will see, they should have been sent but since I havn't received an email I have my doubts...

As to the "mounting blocks", the lines look like they do in the picture on the previous page. That's pretty much how all the aftermarket brake lines I looked into seem to come (Goodridge, HPI etc)

However I don't understand and maybe you can explain it to me as to what you are reffering to by needing mounting blocks. Here's a picture that shows the rear brake lines on a GTST and to me it seems like fairly straight forward swap?

The front lines are pretty much the same thing however they also attach half way along since they are a lot longer and hence what the little sliding mount on the lines is for so you can put it into position where you want.

Hope this clears some things up? Like I said they are ment to be a piece of piss to install and don't require anything additional to be purchased.

Hi PHIL,

Mounting BLOCK`S ,

I did ask you about these as i have STAGEA S2,& are line`s are 830mm long & have 3 block`s in are set up,

These Photo`s will show you what a few are on about ,post-36964-1277350628_thumb.jpgpost-36964-1277351110_thumb.jpg,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

So that is on the front of a Stagea? I could have sworn my front was mounted differently. Damnit i'm going to have to take the front wheel off and have a better look at it. As the rear, from the picture I posted above, looks like a piece of piss to swap.

Hi PHIL,

Yes front Series2 ,

Great, thanks for that Phil. I didn't really understand what the mounting blocks were because I had a look at my stock brake lines and they look pretty much exactly the same as the braided ones (obviously rubber though, not braided lol). I just wanted to make sure that you needed mounting blocks for braided lines to stop them rubbing against other soft lines or something like that, but now I'm fairly sure that it is a fairly straightforward swap.

i thought these would be a peace of piss to install as well, the fronts are easy as, the rears are a pain in the ass for me to try undo the line from the bracket, if i knew this before attempting to install i'd go get a quote for somewhere else to install. i ended up nearly stripping the nut on the rears. not trying to put anyone off doing it themselves, but i let those bastards soak in wd40 for ages applying a bit more every 2nd day and still no luck, maybe its just my brake lines and no one will have any problems. just some input. thats for a 33gtst to.

These incompetent c*nts are really testing my f**king nerves now. Once again no replies to e-mails and i'm going to have to make another international phonecall if I don't hear from them by tomorrow. This time im letting loose, I just don't give a shit any more.

Righteo got a reply boys. They have been completed and are boxed up, just awaiting FedEX to pick them up. If they are not sent out this week we have been offered a £500 refund so it is safe to say they will get sent in the next couple of days.

This nightmare is almost over! If the kits are wrong/missing parts/for a motorbike/don't fit/you get a Honda Accord kit etc than I am off to Mexico!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
