Flexable Break Hose's R32 GTR... where to buy URGENT!!!

[RTFGTR]

I need a front set of rubber flexable break hose's to pass my RWC because I have braded lines at the moment. I have booking @ VIC roads tomorrow morning and the only place so far I can source them from is ENZED but they need to be made and tested and will not be ready untill Monday. Anyone know wher I might be able to source these parts from?

I have already rang:

Nissan Australia (2-6 weeks)

Brakes Plus - No Idea

Enzed - best so far

Thanks...

I've got the set I replaced on my GTS4 - you're welcome to use them. PM me for contact details.

Are your hoses ADR-approved, or are they Jap ones?

[SteveL]

Maybe we can do a 'rotation' on your rubber ones Greg - my GTR has braided lines so I'll need to get some rubber ones to pass RWC as well.....

What did ENZED want to make them up ??

[RTFGTR]

PM sent to blind_elk.... your a lifesaver.

I can do a swap after I have passed RWC. I braded all round but found some rears and was having trouble getting the fronts. Once I pass RWC I will put the braded back on. How stupid is this law? Braded are stronger and I cant work out why they need to be changed.

Cheers - let me know when your ready.

My braided lines have an 'Earl's' label on them, but they won't have the appropriate ADR markings which will be the problem...

blind_elk is offline.... anyone got his number?

[blind_elk]

Not offline! PM'd you.

Maybe I should hire them out for RWCs

This is the best thing about this forum... quick solutions, knowledge and ppl's good nature to help out another. I'm now sorted and it's only taken a few hours. I thought that I would need to re-book my registration at VIC Roads for a second time. But it looks like I may be cruz'en this weekend.

Sorry about all the spelling mistakes B4 I CNBF editing now and I was in a hurry.

Thank again to Greg >> aka blind_elk

I will give them to SteveL once I'm done with them.

yeh, yeh...typical....anything for a buck :)

The reason they don't pass ADRs is because they can frey and theb cut somebody working on the car.

It's not on the actual hose, but at the fitting.

You have to get specific hose ends and stuff.

They CAN be road worhty, just with the right fittings.

IT PASSED I HAVE A RWC

I am booked in for registration 8:30am @ Vic Roads

Thanks again.

[blind_elk]

Well? Do you have a registered car?

[RTFGTR]

Well? Do you have a registered car?

I must be the most unlucky person in the world

I went bright and early this morning to VIC Roads and fark'en DOTARS have not advised VIC roads of my Australian issued VIN No. and it's not on the database so I can't register my car untill someone updates the database. I had my DOTARS import approval sent to me on the 9 July 2004.... you would think that these government departments could get something as simple as typing 14 numbers into a database done in 4 MONTHS. FARK!!!!!

Pirtech in Thomastown are good for rubber hoses, I don't know if they definately make the particular ones you are/were after but they probably do Decent guys that are not out to rip anyone off from my own experience.

Hey Bass.....you sure about the ADR fraying thing?? I was under the impression that most weren't compliant as they don't have enough expansion in the wall of the 'pipe'. ie brake lines are supposed to expand under pressure load to a certain degree and most braided lines don't expand enough.

[Bass Junky]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen you can buy ADR compliant Braided lines for Commodores somewhere.

I remember reading it in a Street Commodores magazine or something.

[Bass Junky]

Shit luck about the Dotars thing.

[blind_elk]

Robin - bugger. And after all that running around yesterday to get it all OK. FN bureaucrats! Hope you gave them a massive serve.

ant95GTR (and others), it's actually to do with flexing at the joints. If you get a ADR-compliant hose, I think they have a teflon outer, only a couple of cm long, to move the flex point away from the joint.

Check out latest Zoom for an article on brakes in general, but also covers ADR-compliant braided hoses.

[Bass Junky]

There it is.

I knew it was something like that.
