Hey guys! Need some help ASAP! I have installed r34 gtt rear calipers to my stagea and today my pedal went straight to the floor and fluid was pissing out!

Just wondering if anyone knows if r34 braided brake lines will suit the stagea hard lines or if I have to get them custom made? I though I may as well replace the standard lines with braided ones incase the leak is coming from the stock line!

Thanks in advanced!

You'd be better removing the lines & getting your local performance brake shop to replicate them in Braided line; it's not as expensive as you might think.

Hi there, pics of the end fittings or of complete hoses, front & rear perhaps?

On my 260RS the front braided lines were easily sourced from Japan however the rears had an odd mounting block type fitting at each end which I could not find in braided configuration. My solution was to use R33 GTR style all round & make custom brackets for the rear lines, doing away with the block to chassis weird end fitting. Also, I have a surplus pair of new unused Nismo front braided lines part number 46200-RSR45. These may only fit wgnc34 260RS. (Dunno) Open to horse trading.

Did this little exercise a few years ago now, 2007 & have had no issues. Some say it is naughty to mess with things (brakes) that should be ADR approved so my suggestion is you go with what Dale said earlier. Maltech in Victoria do braided lines for the people who want them. Could probably pin down your leak no doubt, at the same time. :)

From the pics attached you will see my problem hopefully. I could only source rear braided lines with a mounting block on one end & conventional round connection on the other, hence rear bracket mods. I did go to Maltech for some trial rear lines, sent my old rubber lines as a pattern but the supplied result was unsatisfactory. I could not stop them weeping fluid so I sent them back. I realise the answer in the workshops is to reef the tube nuts up until the connections stop misbehaving but this was anathema to me. (wrong) Besides, I had already tightened them up as far as I was prepared to go without stripping the tube nuts.

Tread your own path as they say.

Cheers GW :miner:

    • 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!
