Yes that's what i thought and hope too. .. just to add , gtst calipers are going in so I'm thinking i should be safe as i read on another forum the NA has a banjo type fitting to be attached to the NA calipers ? Maybe that could be the reason why compatibility is only for the gtst because of the calipers... Well i hope it'll fit...

I'll reply here rather than PM, so the (my) answer is findable by others later, assuming it's correct of course.

I would say that the chances that the "car" side of the brake lines would be better than 99.9% sure to be identical, regardless of whether it was an NA, a turbo, a 2dr or a sedan.  Both chassis (2dr and 4dr) came as both turbo and NA, with the brakes appropriate to the engine.  So I wouldn't worry about that.

If you're putting turbo brakes onto an NA car, then yes, absolutely, the only sensible thing to do is use the turbo flexible lines.  They will definitely match the caliper, where the lines for the NA brakes will almost certainly not match the caliper.

umm yeah, they were probably removed with the brake lines.  they are short hard lines with male fittings at both ends which would allow the female at the caliper and the female at the braided line to mate up

you'd be better off with a conversion package to the 324mm gtr discs. If only you were in contact with someone that has those discs, the GK Tech caliper adapters, the calipers machined to suit, and with GK Tech braided lines, all for sale as a package.....rather than a2m'ing around with stock brakes.

oh wait...I have that :P

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
