Hi Everyone!!

My car is a 98 ER34 GTT I had recently upgraded my stock brake line to NISMO brake hose, and using Endless brake fluids. I find out after driving there is oil leak from the bottom of the car, does it happened into any members car in here?? Need Some Help ASAP.

Yes, it is critical to know whether the leak is brake fluid or not before you drive the car again.

If you sit in the car and pump and then hold the brake pedal, does it slowly sink to the floor? If so you have a brake fluid leak somewhere that you need to sort out before using the car again.

And if you aren't sure, get a mechanic to check it.

Check the brake fluid reservoir - is it low? Follow the leak back to the source. One of the lines may be a bit loose, but you should use a flare nut spanner to tighten it as open enders can damage the fitting. If fluid has leaked onto the pads you'll have to replace them as well.

I had same problem when I had my Nismo lines fitted, I didnt notice a leak but I noticed 24hrs after my fluid was about 4mm below the max line. Mechanic tightened up all 4 corners and since then I haven't lost a drop

This thread is a clear example of not f**king with stuff when you don't know what you are doing. You could have killed yourself or someone else if the brakes failed and without fluid they fail. Next time you need work done to critical parts of the car like the brakes either know what you are doing or don't f**k with it.

Sounds harsh but seriously count yourself lucky your car ain't written off or worse.

Mechanic tightened it up. f**king hell... domokun.gif

haha you sound so mean, but I didn't change it myself, the car was in the workshop for few upgrade and the guy from the workshop told me there is oil leak after the lines were fitted, so I just want to know what cause the problem. if anything lead you to misunderstand sorry for it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
