N300TT

Hopefully you drooled over the zed engine :tt2:

didnt mean to affect anyones business but i just thought i was a serious problem i.e no brakes no stopping. Im sure thousands of kits have been sold all over the world and only a certain amount have had problems. I just posted it up so people would check the brake lines.

Not sure if anyone on here uses the HEL BRAKE LINES (i know they make them for the 300zx) but check your brake lines asap. I normally dont copy paste things from other forums but think this a very important issue. From another forum: ATTENTION ALL HEL BRAKE LINE USERS!!!! CHECK YOUR HEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINES NOW!!!!!!! This was bought to my attention by my customer when he went for a MOT test. My customer drives an Accord Type R. I fitted a set of HEL braided brake lines to his car less than 11 months/10,000 mile ago. During the MOT test visual inspection, the MOT tester points out that his brake lines are cracking, then it went onto the brake roller test, when maximum brake pressure as applied, one of the brake lines burst and squirted brake fluid all over the inside of the wheel. Instant failure. The old brake lines were refitted to get the car through the MOT. This is when i got the phone call about the situation. I went to check out the brake lines, and whilst i was there, i thought it would be a good idea to check over 2 other cars that i fitted HEL braided lines to. heres the pics of the offending items on the ATR. The 2 other cars were: Accord Type R and Integra Type R. The ATR had the HEL brake lines fitted less than 9 months ago, with less than 6000 miles on them, The ITR had the HEL brake lines fitted less than 6 months ago, with less than 6000 miles on them. BOTH of them showed signs of cracking/splitting. The ATR had 1 brake line (OSF) which was cracking in the same place as the ATR which failed on the mot. the ITR had started cracking on both front brake lines where the brake line support bolts to the suspension. pics of the 2nd ATR brake lines offside front brake line pics of the ITR brake lines offside nearside The fault seems to stem from the design. namely the support bracket which bolts to the suspension. the OEM brake line has a bracket which is at a fixed point on the brake line, whereas the HEL brake line has bracket which slides up and down the length of the brake line. When the HEL brake line is fitted, and the bracket bolted onto the suspension, the problem occurs when you turn the steering wheel. as you turn into the brake line, the brake line does not slide in the bracket, but as you turn away from the brake line, the brake line is pulled tight as it slides in the bracket to stretch as the caliper moves further away from the chassis. but as you turn back into the brake line, the tension isn't released, the brake line isn't fed back through the bracket and over time, it seems this is what is causing the cracking/splitting, which leads to it eventually bursting. I have sent an email to HEL to see what they have to say on the problem. but in the meantime, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CHECK YOUR BRAKE LINES!!!!!!! i'm relieved that the ATR brake line burst on the MOT rollers and not on the road when braking hard with his baby daughter in the back seat. but quite suprised that HEL lines would fail after such short duration of usage.

dont keep hold on, if i'm not mistaken its only meant for icy/snow conditions for the car to start in 2nd gear.

Yeah i reckon you should do that, its a private car park so you can clamp them (as long as you not charging people i think) clamp it, leave your contact number and when they come to collect it ask for V5 lol.

might aswell put some pictures up while your at it, i want to see it now lol .....:D

cant say i recognise that car.

sounds a bit dogey....probably good to get some pictures maybe someone here might recognise it. Maybe this thread could me moved to the Zed related section as i think more members will see it. Good work x3nato

At this point i normally would say Portugal....but they are playing really really sh*t at the moment that i didnt even bother to buy the top this year lol they wont even go past group stage. (they drew againt Cabo Verde last week :crying:) So i think: 1. Spain 2. Brazil 3. Argentina

i wouldn't bother (but thats my opinion)

iv read quite a few bad threads with regards to ZTech work....im guessing people will tell you to get your zed back asap

insure it as classic...cheap insurance even on a jap import :D

colour and rims seem very familiar to a zed on the forum, but just cant remember which one......:whistling:

Could't agree more with Si, the rear of the car looks great (even better with 99 spec :drool:) round lambo/ferrari type lights totally ruin it for me :thumbdown:

some seriously nice parts :D the right side vent, is that a sat nav you've put in?

i dont like it lol don't think it suits the car think this one would of looked better with your quads :tt2: but everyone has different tastes of course

yes their is.....my dad wants one :tt2:

i put TR1's on my civic yesterday, they were recommended to me so thought id give them a ago. No faults so far.

congrats!!! :D happy days

Try camskill, i ordered some tyres for my civic yesterday afternoon and they're already on my car. Only 15" but at £126.36 delivered for 4 Toyo TR1's im not complaining :D

that's exactly what wheels size and tyre size my father has on his BMW so im guessing that's the correct tyres for them. Where you buying your tyres from out of interest?

having ronaldo made it crap :lol:

2-3 working days :tt2:

zeds in Portugal tend to be between 14-20k euros!!! cheapest iv seen is 12k with a blown engine lol

:lol:
