Hey guys,

tried posting this Sunday but wasnt working on the forums

the cars been off the road for a few days and i need help with getting it back on

i was selling my non-turbo calipers and i needed to put the turbo ones on

so i unbolted the non-turbo ones and bleeded the lines

i then bolted the new brake lines up to it and started the car whilst pumping the brake

but the brake fluid had gone everywhere

i bolted them on tight, so does anyone have a clue to what could or may have gone wrong

cheers

what do you mean by "the brake fluid went everywhere".........you didn't pop the pistons out by leaving the pads out by any chance?

nahh the brake pads were in

does the hole from the brake hose (the end nipple bit) need to be alligned with the nuts hole through it so the fluid flows through it?

the problem is photos really cant explain the problem because all i can show is a brake line going into the caliper!!

im just trying to see if people may know whats wrong with the line because i was told a staight transfer of lines should be fine and just bolt it in

i did exactly that and the fluids squirting everywhere and the problem is my car isn't movable!! do you reckon RAA would have a clue what it could be?

RAA doesnt fix up home DIY gone wrong...

Did you bleed the lines when you fitted the turbo calipers on?

Can you trace where the brake fluid is leaking out from?

yes i bleeded the line and fitted the new ones on

i then tested them out when i was completed and they leaked from the nuts where they meed at the caliper/line.. which is what i touched

all that needs to be done is bolted in

diff diameter brake line connections?

unsealed bleed nipple ?

-D

might be worth checking if the NA brake lines have different connectors to turbo brakes, i doubt it, but it is a possibility.

also s1 and s2 R33 brakes may be different

line are different

same as on s13

need to pull the olive out of the calipers if your gonna use the na lines

almost 100% on this but never worked on a na so chime in other dudes

best option would be to use turbo lines though

do it all up tight

what suburb you in? need someone to look at it?

i did the 2 nuts up tight

i live in kensington park around a 2 minute drive from the parade

cheers for the advice

i actually noticed while doing it that the hit had a hole hollowed through it and the nipple had a parrallel hole in it which delivered the fluid..

i was thinking do you reckon they need to be alligned?

What needs to be bolted in?

Is the caliper installed over the rotor?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
