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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
