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

knew something was different

cheer bud i will change them over and it should be fine

i will test it out tomorrow hopefully all goes well :)

turbo line should have a little metal line at the end of them that goes into the caliper

with out it you'll have pull the olive out of the caliper and use your na lines

trying doing a google search on silvia 4 pot brake upgrade using stock lines

it will make you feel better about doing it

yes everything your saying now makes sense

i checked it and its is a banjo bolt

i actually remember it had a piece of metal with a simple fitment on the turbo brake when i got it

so what does removing the olive require?

cheers guys appreciate all the help :)

I used a self tapping screw

screw it into the olive tight then pull it and the olive out with plyers

i ended up doing this today and got them out

all went well not leaking

butt the brakes feel shit now and are very soft

ive been pumping it for a while now and its still doing nothing

ive filled up the brake fluid etc.

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

How can you distinguish a series 1 and series 2, R33.

Mine is a 1996 and i think there was a change in that year but don't know what the difference is. I have no rear wiper.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
