im screwed! brake hardline broke!

[sunnys14]

i have a S14 SE with ABS and the brake hardline coming out of the brake master cylinder ruptured and broke from my top mount turbo hitting it. its the hard line that controls the rear brakes (the hard line farthest from the firewall) theres only 2 lines coming out from the master cylinder for ABS cars instead of 3 for NON ABS cars.

does anyone have a replacement or know where i can get one? i tried a junkyard but ABS s14s are pretty damn rare....

[Sir]

just make one.

^ Can you be a little more vague?

1 out of 10 posts on Zilvia is actually helpfull to a noob.

1.Go to your local Autoparts store (Pepboys, Napa)
2. Bring the old line to match the fitting thread, and size.
3. Carefully bend the new line to the shape you need it.
They sell them in different lengths and fittings. I've bought clutch hardlines from Pepboys, so if you have one I would go to them.

(They keep them in the back, so ask a few different people for them, most autoparts workers are fucking idiots.)

if he's got a top mount, he can figure out this too.
Sorry if I give people too much credit, but its just a brake line. its really not that hard.
I would also route it so that your brake lines aren't next to turbo. Not only for clearance but also for heat reasons.

The easiest way is to get in touch with Harp at Taka Motorsports. He will set you up with very high quality stuff for just a tad more than what you would pay for parts alone. Plus you don't have to fool with it and he'll give you all the tech support you need.

I use him exclusively for all my plumbing needs now. His site is: http://www.takamotorsports.com/

Email him what you need and he'll take care of you.

I have a full set of hardlines off an ABS S14. Send me an offer through PM to make it worth my time and it's yours.

Bending your lines about a pipe is a suggestion.

interesting. why bother with abs anyways. I dont think it saved as many lives as it was intended to. Not saying it killed anyone either. But unless you love slamming hard on the brakes, I think you should get rid of the abs unit.

+1...I haven't had any car that had ABS in it yet. Yeah I know, they're all pre-1995 :D

just go to a NISSAN dealership and get one. might have to wait a few days but sounds like you have a second car. its only gonna be like 10 or 20 bux for a line that short i think.

either buy somemore tubing and bend a new one... or just flare the ends and use some rubber hose (I would choose option 2 haha)

[wootwoot]

it is seriously easy to make one...come on.
