Serban 08-09-2005, 11:15 PM After work today I start putting some steel braided brake lines on my car. I get to the back, get ready to bleed that line, and notice a leak from under the car. Turns out my rear driver side brake line cracked....so now I gotta find a way to fix it :mad: Will 08-09-2005, 11:17 PM After work today I start putting some steel braided brake lines on my car.

I say clean it up and hit it with the flux core if your feeling confidant. otherwise JB weld might work temporarilly, but I would gob it on all around the line. EDIT: I was mostly kidding about the welder. Do you need help? I could come down and help out if you need some parts or JB weld or something, I dont sleep much ;) Jaketips42 08-09-2005, 11:32 PM Man, I need to move to FLA and hang with all the SR20 guys. New England sucks. What the hell is a Serban? Will 08-09-2005, 11:36 PM Man, I need to move to FLA and hang with all the SR20 guys. New England sucks. What the hell is a Serban? its his badass first name. tell me you would pick a fight with a guy named Serban, haha :rofl: Serban 08-09-2005, 11:43 PM Hey Will, thanks for the offer, I left the car at a friends house, I'll see what fittings I can find at work tomorrow, I already cut a piece of the line out to try and crimp it shut, but that didnt work out.. nismo91 08-10-2005, 12:00 AM Serban you can look at the positive side. You caught it in time and you were not at a track. This could have been a lot worst. After work today I start putting some steel braided brake lines on my car.

You caught it in time and you were not at a track. This could have been a lot worst. Serban doesnt like the track, because he always breaks stuff, imagine that Serban 08-10-2005, 12:09 AM Well, last time I went, I didn't break anything...couldnt even break a better 60' time....lol Corbin 08-10-2005, 02:25 AM better than blowing a rod any day. SENTRASER 08-10-2005, 03:39 PM IIRC you have to drop the front sub-frame(the part the front control arms bolt to) down a bit to get the brake lines up there. That sucks that you got a crack...the only reason I've contemplated changing thel ines out is because of the head of the 10mm nut for the brake line was rounded off. Serban 08-11-2005, 04:55 PM Well, my NX stops good again, and better than ever. I had Ian in Miami fix the brake line for me. Turns out those cheap braided lines ended up costing me double what I paid for them :rofl: Peanuthead 08-11-2005, 05:08 PM Well, my NX stops good again, and better than ever.

Just because of the circmstance or truely because of the brake lines? 1QKB13SE-R 08-11-2005, 05:19 PM Ian is da man! blairellis 08-11-2005, 08:47 PM Why was that? Just because of the circmstance or truely because of the brake lines? Heres my take on it. He bought the lines for X amount and then had to pay to have the hard line fixed for about the same as original X amount. so X times 2 = double x ;) PUN Intended for those who understand :D Serban 08-12-2005, 09:39 AM Heres my take on it.

I know I threaded mines wrong when installing the big brake kit. What the hell is a Serban? HAHAHAAHAHA :rofl: :D :rofl: Serban 08-12-2005, 10:33 AM LOL...i dont know how I missed that part...yeah, I'm a Serban. I was destined to drive an SE-R. :rofl: b13magoo 08-12-2005, 10:41 AM glad to see you got my fave nx going again.. SENTRASER 08-12-2005, 01:36 PM So the question is still yet to be answered....how was the line fixed? Serban 08-12-2005, 02:44 PM A new hard brake line was made from where the old one broke. http://www.timgilles.com/photogallery/5.48prefabbrakeline.jpg Something like that, bent to go around the frame, and joined with pieces 301-3 and 306-3 http://www.tjtrailers.com/store/media/hydraulic-fittings.JPG I'll probably be getting under the car today, so I'll get a pic. | ||
