Line Lock Kits

[Shaun]

Hi,

There is a group buy going for the B&M line lock kits, and i was just wondering if any of the drag racers out there have installed them in a skyline. The reason im asking, is because a place i was going to buy one off ages ago said that i'd need two kits to make it work on a skyline. I dont really understand why, but it turned me off the purchase.

I just wanted to confirm whether this is correct, and ask where on the car have people installed the solenoid and cut the brake line.

Its kinda related to forced induction.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Does your have ABS?

My 33 only had 1 line to the rear so i cut into that about under the drivers seat. Easy. Ive had if for a few years now. Better option than burning out the rear brakes

only need one, also if your using it to lock on the front, or lock out the rear, you must reverse the flow path depending on what one you choose. If you locking out the rear install it in the reverse of the flow direction on the valve.

Yeah, mine has ABS.

I just got under the sar, and there is only one line going from the front to the rear, then it splits to each wheel via a distribution block.

Ill upload a pic of this block. Good to know.

Its a very small diameter line to flare though; i wonder how hard it is to install.

Hi mate,

Not line lock related but I would be sheilding those braided lines in the picture. Recently had a braided line get rubbed through which was zipped up against a small hard line just like in your pic.

Guys you don't put them right....

You must put this solenoid in your front brake line.

If at the brake master cyllinder there are 2 line for the front brakes you need two line locks if you have only one line you need one line lock.

The differense is if the car has or not abs but I don't remember which has two and which one!

You put the BRAKE pedal!!!!

You push the bottun!!!

Leave your brake pedal and forger it...!

Feel free to PLAY with your clutch and your throttle pedal only...!

When you finish the burning.... push again the botton...

AND.... GO!!!!

If you put them in the rear line you still need to push 3 pedals with two foots

Problem with that is what if you want to crab walk (aka crawl forward) while doing a burnout. Ide rather have to heel toe it and be able to do rolling burnouts than a boring stationary one

Ps. Installing one of these at the moment. Watch the fittings you put in to them cos they are american and require a special tapered fitting to seal properly. Got an adaptor from a brake parts store but not before I wasted time trying to make my own lines.
