got my lines this arvo.

Fitted already, just gotta wait for my callipers to come back from rebuilding :thumbsup:

Thanks for the awesome Group Buy

*Thumbs up*

got mine the other day just opened them today to fit them and noticed they don't have ADR tags but do have FVMSS tags which is the european ones is that normal? are they still legal for our roads?

PM sent. Yes they are legal, those are the ADR sleeves that we discussed in the first group buy thread.

hey PM-R33, mine have the black tags on them as well, i assume this is that ADR sleeve you speak of? Is it possible to chuck up a picture of what the ADR sleeve looks like so we an easily confirm?

It's just the black sleeve that has the wording FMVSS-106 on it at the end of each brake line, that's it (you all have them as I checked each kit to make sure). Part of ADR is to have that sleeve on there but it isn't just that sleeve that makes it legal, it's the way the entire lines are constructed.

I went over it a bit in the old group buy thread but at the end of the day I am only limited to my own research I have done on the subject, if any one wishes more technical information about them just call Hel Australia or Hel UK.

Is it best to go to a brake specialist to install the braided brake-lines.

Who in Brisbane?

Have never done this and don't want to screw this up else it might be the last thing I ever do !

How may hours to do front and back replacement on a 1996 non turbo skyline?

Whats a reasonable cost?

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
