Hel Stainless Steel Braided Clutch Line Group Buy


Recommended Posts

I have no idea man. You got a link? I could never find whether it was a replacement of the whole line or just the rubber line. In theory though there is no need to replace the hard lines since they can't expand.

Too easy Ben, glad to see the QLD guys are getting them today.

Yeah I wasn't really sure on what the GTR line replaced since it was a different length than the GTST one. But I figured you GTR boys have some weird funky setup due to the AWD hence it being different :P

I think the GTST one replaces the block, but I shall soon see.

Well, I got one for my GTS-t, not the GTR..... Box is marked "suit 32 GTS-t" but I've been looking this morning and I'm mildly confused. lol

Let me know what you guys find?

Oh yeah that's right, you had a GTST kit, my bad :P

My mate has his engine out at the moment so i'll quickly dummy fit the clutch line from the master cylinder and see how it all fits.

So here is the clutch install on my mates GTST.

As you can see it replaces the entire factory setup :D

Here is the massive factory line removed.

For those kids keeping track of their cars diet here are the results:

Factory setup - 828g

New clutch line - 97g

Weight saving of 731g

Not bad ay :)

It's finished man, hence the pictures above of them fitted.

If I do one again i'll let you know.

Groovy!

My engine and box is out at the moment so I couldn't get a picture of it in my mind. That's a great weight saving! I'd spend an entire day trying to save that weight elsewhere :D

Yeah it's pretty decent. And in reality it would probably be closer to 800-900g because there would be less fluid used in the new clutch line compared to the amount that runs in the factory line :thumbsup:

Mine landed yesterday, with the brake line.

Cheers Phil, muchos gracias!

That looks awesome getting rid of all that factory crap lol will be much neater. Will have to put mine in on the weekend. Pics help alot

Thanks again Phil :)

Thanks guys.

I'm going to look into whether HEL would do some custom made braided lines to replace the four brake lines on the firewall (for ABS models) or two brake lines on the firewall (non ABS models) that go from the master cylinder.

No real "performance" benefit but I figured for the good prices we are getting these at it would be a nice looking mod in the engine bay :) I've seen a few pictures of guys that have done it and it looks quite good.

I'll let you guys know if some of you would be interested; I know one of my mates is very keen.

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
