Need Help With Brakes

[skyline_freak_r33]

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?

[Bridgy]

How'd you bleed the lines without a caliper on?

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?

[Jap_star]

maybe take a few photos and pop them up so we can understand bud

[skyline_freak_r33]

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

Have you put the little copper washers back in??

[typevu]

Did you put a little sealant onto the thread of the nuts before you tighten them in?

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

thats truee

i will have to look into it cheers for the advice

[Tangles]

do it all up tight

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

[1400r]

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

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?

^ no they dont

[1400r]

lines are banjo bolt style correct?

round hole bolt goes in the middle ?

means its s13 style = wont work with olive in the hole
