Is it even possible (and cost effective) to get the short OEM hard line that attaches to the front caliper itself? The pipe nuts on mine are well round and were a pain to remove to get caliper off. 

I already have braided lines up to there so before I fork out for another set of braided lines just so I can delete the hard line I figured I'd see if anyone knows a part number or aftermarket option. Tried searching and all I get is braided kits lol. 

And obvs if they're gonna be crazy money I'll just have to get new braided lines to make life easier

 

Cheers

Part numbers are 

46245-05U01

46246-05U01

Amayama says they are non available and out of production

Everyone just replaces the hard and soft lines with a single piece braided line

Actually looks a bit different, mine is gtst and just goes like 2 inches downward curving. 

However if the gtr one is discontinued then surely the rest are too so I think I'll have to bite the bullet and just change for a single piece braided line. Cheers for your help

Yeah this is what I was looking at, think I'll have more peace of mind just biting the bullet

It's also the work of 5 minutes to make replacement hard line pieces with a flare tool and 6" of bundy tube.

This is true but I don't have any of the above, I work on stuff that's much bigger as a career so don't really find myself making brake lines or anything similar. 

There will be a heap of mechanics that have tooling to make up hard brake lines. I would bet that any workshop that specialises in older cars, say restoring old MG's, would have tooling to make up hard lines. It should be cheap and easy to get something made up for you. 

Having said that, I don't know anyone that has bothered to make up hard lines when there are braided lines readily available that do the same thing.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
