For those with SS lines
I bought a set of brand new SS lines for a 6th gen Max, and when I received the package I didn't exactly know what these valve looking things were...can someone please en-lighten me?

I've heard both ways from 2 different people. The one that I am familiar with is the first one, but a fellow orger told me that the "criss-cross" method is needed for the 6th gen Max. Finally, has anyone experienced any problems with SS lines, such as deforming, rubbing on cv boots, and so on? thanks in advance :ben: Dan |
Those are banjo bolts and copper gaskets. They attach your brake line to the caliper. You bleed them RR-RL-FR-FL.
|
alright um.......I feel like a total tard for asking this...but is what showed up above just for the front brakes, or for front/rear? Are all the "kits" just for front conversions? I have never really noticed this, so I feel kind of stupid now. :rotz:
|
There are 4 lines there so you have a complete kit for all the way around. Just match up the lengths as you take them off.

Project,
All Maximas are four line systems, two front, two back. Some cars, mainly, higher-end sports cars with bigger rotors/calipers (multi-piston) carry more lines per brake. For instance, the 350Z has 6 lines for the front brakes, two for the backs (total of 8 lines), hence why they're more expensive. |
aha! gotcha! thanks everyone for the responses and for not bashing me :angel:
|
a rule of thumb for bleeding brakes is you want to start on the caliper farthest away from your brake master cylinder. Hence in the case of the maxima: RR, RL, FR, FL

as for schrale...I did not get a service manual when I got my car, so I don;t have one! :Prinz: jk |
You have to buy the service manual, its not given to you.
Although you can download some for free at www.phatg20.net I'm not sure if they have any 6th gen ones on there yet |
I thought the FSM said RR FL RL FR

sweet! thanks guys!

yeah they look like bleeders..

Is it worth the investment and time to upgrade to SS lines? Ive already upgraded to the 2K4 brakes, but kept the stock brake lines. Also, using RTP slotted with Hawk HPS pads. Braking power has increased, but Im wondering if replacing the stock lines with SS lines would improve braking power/response that much anyways. Comments appreciated.

bump please!!

It also minimizes brake fad while under constant pressure---auto-crossing, spirited driving, and so on.

It's a "trial" program, but if I recall correctly it doesn't actually make you pay for it when the trial period expires. Either way, it should be good enough to open one FSM .rar. |
