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

knew something was different

cheer bud i will change them over and it should be fine

i will test it out tomorrow hopefully all goes well :)

turbo line should have a little metal line at the end of them that goes into the caliper

with out it you'll have pull the olive out of the caliper and use your na lines

trying doing a google search on silvia 4 pot brake upgrade using stock lines

it will make you feel better about doing it

yes everything your saying now makes sense

i checked it and its is a banjo bolt

i actually remember it had a piece of metal with a simple fitment on the turbo brake when i got it

so what does removing the olive require?

cheers guys appreciate all the help :)

I used a self tapping screw

screw it into the olive tight then pull it and the olive out with plyers

i ended up doing this today and got them out

all went well not leaking

butt the brakes feel shit now and are very soft

ive been pumping it for a while now and its still doing nothing

ive filled up the brake fluid etc.

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

How can you distinguish a series 1 and series 2, R33.

Mine is a 1996 and i think there was a change in that year but don't know what the difference is. I have no rear wiper.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
