I need a front set of rubber flexable break hose's to pass my RWC because I have braded lines at the moment. I have booking @ VIC roads tomorrow morning and the only place so far I can source them from is ENZED but they need to be made and tested and will not be ready untill Monday. Anyone know wher I might be able to source these parts from?

I have already rang:

Nissan Australia (2-6 weeks)

Brakes Plus - No Idea

Enzed - best so far

Thanks...

PM sent to blind_elk.... your a lifesaver.

I can do a swap after I have passed RWC. I braded all round but found some rears and was having trouble getting the fronts. Once I pass RWC I will put the braded back on. How stupid is this law? Braded are stronger and I cant work out why they need to be changed.

Cheers - let me know when your ready.

My braided lines have an 'Earl's' label on them, but they won't have the appropriate ADR markings which will be the problem...

Maybe we can do a 'rotation' on your rubber ones Greg - my GTR has braided lines so I'll need to get some rubber ones to pass RWC as well.....
Maybe I should hire them out for RWCs

This is the best thing about this forum... quick solutions, knowledge and ppl's good nature to help out another. I'm now sorted and it's only taken a few hours. I thought that I would need to re-book my registration at VIC Roads for a second time. But it looks like I may be cruz'en this weekend.

Sorry about all the spelling mistakes B4 I CNBF editing now and I was in a hurry.

Thank again to Greg >> aka blind_elk

I will give them to SteveL once I'm done with them.

The reason they don't pass ADRs is because they can frey and theb cut somebody working on the car.

It's not on the actual hose, but at the fitting.

You have to get specific hose ends and stuff.

They CAN be road worhty, just with the right fittings.

Well? Do you have a registered car?

I must be the most unlucky person in the world :rant:

I went bright and early this morning to VIC Roads and fark'en DOTARS have not advised VIC roads of my Australian issued VIN No. and it's not on the database so I can't register my car untill someone updates the database. I had my DOTARS import approval sent to me on the 9 July 2004.... you would think that these government departments could get something as simple as typing 14 numbers into a database done in 4 MONTHS. FARK!!!!!

Hey Bass.....you sure about the ADR fraying thing?? I was under the impression that most weren't compliant as they don't have enough expansion in the wall of the 'pipe'. ie brake lines are supposed to expand under pressure load to a certain degree and most braided lines don't expand enough.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen you can buy ADR compliant Braided lines for Commodores somewhere.

I remember reading it in a Street Commodores magazine or something.

Robin - bugger. And after all that running around yesterday to get it all OK. FN bureaucrats! Hope you gave them a massive serve.

ant95GTR (and others), it's actually to do with flexing at the joints. If you get a ADR-compliant hose, I think they have a teflon outer, only a couple of cm long, to move the flex point away from the joint.

Check out latest Zoom for an article on brakes in general, but also covers ADR-compliant braided hoses.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
