Hey guys,

tried posting this Sunday but wasnt working on the forums

the cars been off the road for a few days and i need help with getting it back on

i was selling my non-turbo calipers and i needed to put the turbo ones on

so i unbolted the non-turbo ones and bleeded the lines

i then bolted the new brake lines up to it and started the car whilst pumping the brake

but the brake fluid had gone everywhere

i bolted them on tight, so does anyone have a clue to what could or may have gone wrong

cheers

what do you mean by "the brake fluid went everywhere".........you didn't pop the pistons out by leaving the pads out by any chance?

nahh the brake pads were in

does the hole from the brake hose (the end nipple bit) need to be alligned with the nuts hole through it so the fluid flows through it?

the problem is photos really cant explain the problem because all i can show is a brake line going into the caliper!!

im just trying to see if people may know whats wrong with the line because i was told a staight transfer of lines should be fine and just bolt it in

i did exactly that and the fluids squirting everywhere and the problem is my car isn't movable!! do you reckon RAA would have a clue what it could be?

RAA doesnt fix up home DIY gone wrong...

Did you bleed the lines when you fitted the turbo calipers on?

Can you trace where the brake fluid is leaking out from?

yes i bleeded the line and fitted the new ones on

i then tested them out when i was completed and they leaked from the nuts where they meed at the caliper/line.. which is what i touched

all that needs to be done is bolted in

Have you put the little copper washers back in??

yeah i put the copper washer back.. thankss for the advice though

Did you put a little sealant onto the thread of the nuts before you tighten them in?

nah i didn't what sealent would you recommend? thanks for the advice

diff diameter brake line connections?

unsealed bleed nipple ?

-D

might be worth checking if the NA brake lines have different connectors to turbo brakes, i doubt it, but it is a possibility.

also s1 and s2 R33 brakes may be different

thats truee

i will have to look into it cheers for the advice

line are different

same as on s13

need to pull the olive out of the calipers if your gonna use the na lines

almost 100% on this but never worked on a na so chime in other dudes

best option would be to use turbo lines though

do it all up tight

what suburb you in? need someone to look at it?

i did the 2 nuts up tight

i live in kensington park around a 2 minute drive from the parade

cheers for the advice

i actually noticed while doing it that the hit had a hole hollowed through it and the nipple had a parrallel hole in it which delivered the fluid..

i was thinking do you reckon they need to be alligned?

yes i bleeded the line and fitted the new ones on

i then tested them out when i was completed and they leaked from the nuts where they meed at the caliper/line.. which is what i touched

What needs to be bolted in?

Is the caliper installed over the rotor?

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
