Hey,

 

All my brake pipes are corroded to hell and leaking (non runner project car). I've replaced a lot of brake pipes before no problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has some advice/opinions if they have had it done? I have a pipeline diagram and have a pretty good idea of whats going on.

 

As far as the actual connections at the rear go though, the corroded nuts and awkward access don't look too good.

 

I'm wondering if anyone has actually rerouted their new pipes instead? I.e. drilling holes at either side of the boot for the new pipes to be sized and fitted easily.

 

My main worry is the rear pipes, as they don't have their individual pipes from the ABS actuator. Instead they share one pipe which has a splitter. I wouldn't want to create a braking imbalance from pressure travel distance.

 

Cheers

You two still at it! Sort it out like men instead of bickering on here like a couple of little girls.

 

Doesn't look good people reading this kind of crap.

Anything to do with balaclavas and baseball bats in Yorkshire, by any chance....?

Please don't tell me you're on that God-awful UK NISMO 300zx facebook page. I removed myself and blocked any further invites from that page. It's utterly tragic - if ever there was a reason not to own a Z32, it's all on that particular facebook page! :rofl: :lol:

Nope, it was two other well-known traders. :p

About removing the prop from the diff (R230)..

 

Tried to bend the corners (circled in cyan) to try ease it up but still completely solid.

 

Any suggestions, other than removing the prop at the front end?

 

Cheers

Cheers mark. 25 years of corrosion had taken away any colouring, but all about that sweet spot. Off now!

 

Thanks for the help all. Should be a doddle from here
