Hi,

This doesn't seem to have come up for a while. Anybody know if anyone has ADR-approved braided lines as an "off-the-shelf" item for series 2 C34?

I have been through dozens of topics and had lots of correspondence with companies who say "we only have Skyline on the shelf. But if you send yours in, we should be able to copy it...".

Not an option for me. Does anybody have lines for the stock series 2 C34 brake setup (auto RS-Four)?

thanks

DaveB

Just a random thought, try checking the part numbers from Nissan to see if they share common parts between the models? I dont know the answer but it may help? :)

Thanks Raymond. I don't have FAST so if anyone is able to oblige... I'm fairly certain that the Stagea lines are unique though. It's been established elsewhere that they're not the same as '33 or '34 (mainly because they're a different length, and I think the stagea has an extra hard line). Oh and banjo vs threaded fittings etc.

if you can wait a few months, gktech said they are going to be doing them soon

adr approved are silly cheap like $130 front and rear or something ridiculous

thats the suit r33/r34 btw but we should be able to use them by reusing our banjo bolts

That sounds good Bob... last time I contacted Maltech they said they only did series 1. Do they really do series 2 now?

Tom I'm pretty sure R33 and R34 lines are too different to use, besides just the banjo bolts? I seem to remember they are too short and lack an extra hard line section which the stagea has... can anyone confirm?

Sorry didn't realise they were different - but they still might have some. A lot of people were into it about 3 or so years ago - maybe email or phone them

yeah i think gktech said that they are making a braided line that replaces the intermediate hard line

so theoretically, they should be similar to stagea ones, im running r34 brakes with stagea lines, so the reverse may well fit

i'll try and be the test mule!

if your not desperate for them you could stand to save a fair bit of money

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
