Braided Brake Lines

[konect]

Hi folks,

Finally took the cef for a spin after 4 months of being on jack stands and noticed the passenger front brake line leaking.

I'm going to purchase some braided lines for it but wondering if there is a difference between Nissan models. I've got R33 front calipers with what I assume is the standard hard lines.

Any recommendations about which kit to get?

Thanks.

Take a pic of your brake line and I'll tell you what it's off.
When using 33 calipers, dudes roll one of two ways, some will shorten the banjo bolt so it will fit into the caliper properly, others will remove the olive fitting inside the brake caliper, that way the stock banjo bolt will fit all the way in and seal.

You could use R33 lines and not have to modify anything, only problem is that the line won't mount onto the caliper like S13/A31 lines do (they use a clip that slides in, R3x lines bolt in)

Here's a pic, sorry its crap, I was too lazy to jack the car up and take the wheel off. I'll do it if you can't see the important bits....

Those are R32/R33 Skyline brake lines.

For the fronts, standard S13 lines will work as long as you remove that little fitting down in the thread on the calipers.
S13 lines don't have that box thing half way, it's one line from hard line to caliper with just a slot on the middle for the clip to clamp it into that mount in your pic.

Rear brake lines all same same.

Awesome, thanks mate!

I found out HEL do an S13 kit for R33 calipers too. Which one do you reckon I should get?

Same price so I'm thinking the S13/R33 one might be easier to put in.....

Too slow. Ordered the S13 > R33 lines today. See how they go...

Way to slow, but I've been running that HEL S13 -> R33 kit with a set of R33 GTSt calipers for the last 5 years, haven't had a problem with them.

Obtaining replacement discs... that's a different story!

Finally got around to fitting these (still haven't bled them - #jackstandlyf) and went together ok but there is a lot of thread outside the caliper.

I spoke with HEL and the said it will be fine as it only needs a few threads to fit in there. Apparently they use the same fitting for multiple vehicles so just use a really long one.

* Random comment - I put "my g o d" in this post and it changes it to "my rajab" how odd!
