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?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
