Love it, but I don't think IM use Google to translate on their site.

You will get a different translation if you cut the auction portion of the url out of the address bar and put it into Google Translate (or just into the address bar in a new tab if using Chrome).

wow. loads of hours gone into Uni this week. 7x lectures to write out into revision note books takes a long time!

throw in practicals/tutorials/workshop assignments & Ive got it cut out for me !!! doing well though, and importantly Im enjoying it.

bloody brake line. had front braided lines made up Dec last year, today found front left has split where it screws into the caliper.

the line is like 40cm long - how long should it be? I reckon it is 2inches too long.

its obviously too long as it has bent itself into a right angle at the caliper fixture for some reason, and the metal fitting (joining line to banjo) has rubbed on the compressed line. not happy - dont really have the time to waste on it.

Good to hear your course is going well Brendan, was a gutsy move to go and do something completely different.

Best of luck mate; amazing how much easier it is to knuckle down & do the study when you actually enjoy the subject matter.thumbsup.gif

As for your lines; the last ADR approved braided lines I had made; had a short rubber sleeve crimped into the swage; to prevent exactly what you're talking about.

Do you have an OEM to use as a sample?

Thank you dale!

Yes its a huge challenge - Im not exactly a 'sciency' type but I'll be trying to put in my best efforts. Very tiring, but Im enjoying applying myself to the task Ive set for myself; we'll see where it goes. Ive got my goal, a vision, and need to work at the little weekly steps in getting there.

I noticed the lines that were made up (ADR approved) uses a metal sleeve instead of the rubber sleeve. On full lock over a speedbump or spoondrain it must be knocking against the swaybar link bracket, or thereabouts. Looks like I'll have a pair of custom banjo-type lines made up end of this week, to lose that 1.5inches that protudes out of the caliper with screw-in type lines. Must be a space/fitment issue due to the caliper brackets and 322mm discs I run; obviously puts everything out of kilter compared to the stock setup.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
