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!!

Great post!

If you want the brake pedal higher, you can adjust it at the threaded rod/clevis. If you have run out of length the rod could be modified/lengthened

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!

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄

      Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
