Just wondering if anyone has used the Earls Dry Brake Couplers for the connection between caliper and hard line? Opinions?

Just ordering my lines now and thinking using these might save rounding nuts/ time and money.

No dry brake connection is dry enough to use on brakes. They will all let some air into the lines. Probably also going to raise severe laughter from those who decide what is legal and what is not. Fancy disconnecting someone's brakes by just reaching in and giving a twisty-pull?

Break, not Brake. lol.

Yep, if your talking about the coupler.

Brake = the things that make your car slow down

Break = smash / destroy

So we're talking about break couplers on brake lines....

Says in the description you can use for brakes, oil etc just have to choose the right part number.

It's for the time attack car so basically doesn't have to be road legal.

They work and they work very very well if your using the high end versions not the cheaper fragola ones.

There is no need to bleed brakes they have an air pocket chamber built into them that you can purge if need be but I've never had to do it.

We use them on brake lines, clutch lines, fuel lines on the super cars and extend the use to attessa lines etc on GTR's

Earls aus don't keep any of them in stock though as they are an extremely slow moving component.

If you place a decent order they may air freight them over.

Just what i wanted to hear Brad. Thanks for that.

Have you got a contact in the US you deal with as while the Dollar is pretty strong against the US i might get them along with all my Fuel system fittings.

Thanks

Summit normally stock the common size ones -6 &-8 they can get the larger ones easily enough.

However by the time you pay summits retail (or trade =retail -10%) then freight and taxes,for myself it works out cheaper to buy from earls aus and wait the 6days. So I rarely ever buy direct from summit.

Retail here is far more expensive though having the warranty and support is worth it

Unfortunately due to martin's (earls aus owner) agreement and franchise structure we can't buy direct from earls, Weldon or tilton despite the dollar.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
