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...

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...

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.....
Maybe I should hire them out for RWCs

:):D

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.

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.

Well? Do you have a registered car?

I must be the most unlucky person in the world :rant:

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

      That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.

Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
