  1. hey duncan - yeah its already at max now - so im going to give it a go on Thursday - and if it doesnt hamper the braking and heeling - then ALLLLLLLL GOOOOD!
  2. On the R35 BM size - confirmed Fitting Size = M12 x 1.0 R32 Fittings Sizes = -3 JIC Cost so far: Brake Master - $189 Brake Booster - $149 3M of 10mm Silicone Hoses - $34 Aluminium One Way Valve - For Booster - $13.50 HEL Custom Lines below - $150 Left Fitting -Swivel Male Left Fitting Size - M12x1.0 Left Fitting Angle - 70° Right Fitting - Swivel Female Right Fitting Size - 3/8" x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Right Fitting Angle - 45° Length - 20cm I rounded the nut on the master for the old R32 brake line - it was completely seized - so i decided to custom 2 lines from Master to the ABS unit. Front Master Port - $75.00 Left Fitting - Fixed Male Left Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Left Fitting Angle - Straight Right Fitting - Swivel Male Right Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Right Fitting Angle - 70° Length - 97cm - extra 1cm Rear Master port - $75.00 Left Fitting - Fixed Male Left Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Left Fitting Angle - Straight Right Fitting - Swivel Male Right Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Right Fitting Angle - 70° Length - 91cm - extra 1cm This is how the line will roughly look like: This is roughly how it looks out of the car ^ i have made a few adjustments to the Angle of the BMC Fitting - as well as threw the adapter away cos it was the wrong size - and remade the whole line again. But it looks very similar - the most updated line specs is above This is how i plan to run it - please use imagination a bit - i will take more pictures once its installed. But the 2 lines will run across the firewall similar to the original hard lines. Confirmed the Plug is the same as BM57 - its quite hard to get the plug - it is shared with a LOT of different cars - R35, Pathfinder, G35, Subaru WRX, Ford Fiesta - but its almost impossible to buy one - and 100% impossible to get in Au I found the details in the thread below - have to thanks to @BK for ALL the research he did - especially in where to purchase. MOTORCRAFT WPT-1385 is the part number - meant for Ford. Wired up - it will fit perfect. Below is the Final completion - remove the 4 nuts in the car cabin at the brake - and remove the R32 BMC and Booster R32 Right booster R32 and R35 U Clevis and - the one at the bottom is from the R32 GTR - MUST reuse this for R35 Booster There is a Spacer for the R35 that looks like this - this will not need to be used - it should be mounted directly on the FireWall Just use the Gasket and put the Booster on the Firewall Roughly how it looks when mounted up This is the complete work - with 2 sets of Custom HEL lines. Once installed - i found the following - the brake pedal is slightly lower than the R32 Original Overall it was very easy to do - and a massive learning process for me. Had a lot of help along the way from @BK and @Meap that did all these first. I hope whoever that attempts this moving forward - this Post will help you. The biggest problem i faced when doing this was the BMC Fitting size and how to run the lines. As well as old rounded lines on original lines. The brake pedal 100% feels firmer and more solid - i will be doing a track day on Thursday - will report back after. Good luck!!
  3. Few questions - just want to make sure i did it right. @Meap @McGarryR32 The “U” the clevis pin goes through is shorter on the 35 but can be swapped over for your original one as they’re the same thread. (regarding this) do you notice your brake pedal sitting a bit lower than the stock height? i had to adjust the switch lower so that its touching. i have adjusted the bolt to the end of the U but the pedal is a bit lower - is it the same for you guys as well?
  4. Thank you so much - appreciate it!
  5. hey mate - question - did you use the spacer form the R35?
  6. nice! would love to attend - any newie boys wanna go together?
  7. hey mate have a question - do you use the R35 aluminium spacer? from your pics it doesnt look like you do but jsut need confirmation
  8. All good guys - most helpful thread ever. I am doing a R35 Brake Master and Booster Conversion - Its the same sensor. Just one question - Is there Polarity for the wiring - or it does not matter @BK thank you for all your help

  11. Duncan why do you have so many things for sale!
  12. Coming along rather nicely - so i will document a bit here to assist this post. (All Prices in AUD) Hopefully the hoses are long enough - looks long enough... On the R35 BM size - confirmed size = 7/16 - and for the R32 Side = 3/8 Will attempt it soon when my Brake Fluid arrives Cost so far: Brake Master - $189 Brake Booster - $149 HEL Custom Lines (made a mistake here - should have gotten the Left Fitting as a Male 7/16 - then i would not need the adapter below) - $120 Left Fitting -Swivel Male Left Fitting Size - 7/16" x 20 UNF (-4 AN JIC) Left Fitting Angle - 90° Right Fitting - Swivel Female Right Fitting Size - 3/8" x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Right Fitting Angle - 45° Length - 20cm 3M of 10mm Silicone Hoses - $34 Aluminium One Way Valve - $13.50 Brake Tube Adapter - Male 7/16 NS, Female 3/8 (this is unnecessary cost - i made a mistake when i ordered the HEL lines) - $34.70 I rounded the nut on the master for the old R32 brake line - it was completely seized - so i decided to custom 2 lines from Master to the ABS unit. Front Master Port - $75.00 Left Fitting - Fixed Male Left Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Left Fitting Angle - Straight Right Fitting - Swivel Male Right Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Right Fitting Angle - 70° Length - 97cm - extra 1cm Rear Master port - $75.00 Left Fitting - Fixed Male Left Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Left Fitting Angle - Straight Right Fitting - Swivel Male Right Fitting Size - 3/8 x 24 UNF (-3 AN JIC) Right Fitting Angle - 70° Length - 91cm - extra 1cm This is how the line will roughly look like: This is how i plan to run it - please use imagination a bit - i will take more pictures once its installed.
