SS clutch lines and drift buttons!!

[NemeGuero]

Does someone make a complete SS clutch line that replaces the hardline and the soft line? (I deleted the damper box so I don't care about that ish)

or does someone know what end fittings to use so I can just make one?



and secondly... who has a drift button and wants to give me measurements?

Inner and outer Diameters and length.

And before anyone says anything, I have free access to a machine shop and free aluminum stock so its free to make for me.

[k's_silvia2.0]

i can measure tonight but hook it up with a Neme prototype.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

i've seen some ss hardlines only sold on ebay with a master cylinder, i know of someone with that setup on an rx7, no probs yet

[NemeGuero]

f'sho!!

you get me those measurements and I'll make you one free. Just pay chipping.

what? I want to know where I can buy a SS clutch line.. not a replacement hardline.

[MegasquirtCA]

Thanks for the link!

PM me some more details on what you want made and maybe we can work somefin' out.

[MegasquirtCA]

Vacuum log/manifold pretty much just a rectangle with holes drilled.

Cheapest I found was from Voodoo for $25 for 6 ports and $21.95 for 4 ports.

Enjuku has a hardline replacement. It looks like a SS clutch line but longer, just hook it to your current line and bam. They sell both. Master to loop, and loop to slave. $40 bux each. Look it up.

[NemeGuero]

Dunno if there are drill bits long enough to go all the way through the block.
Cut away looks like this, right?

taka has them for $65 for the complete I think.

[MegasquirtCA]

Yup exactly like that.

Yea the Taka one says MC to SC. Im sure you can build one for a lot cheaper. The shop I go to would probably do it for $25-$33 I just dont know the thread pitch.

[NemeGuero]

I'll spend the extra money on not having to build it myself. haha $65 aint bad.

If I have the 6 1/8 taps at the machine shop I'll do it.

[MegasquirtCA]

The holes on the end are 1/4 NPT, and the 6 holes are 1/8 NPT I dont really think I need 6 ports I could get away with 5.

[NemeGuero]

I'm gonna make it dildo shaped.. and it won't be painted. lol

[blownmotor]

just bend the stock line straight to slaveand replace the rubber line one to ss

[NemeGuero]

Wtf are you talking about?
did you read the thread?

I want a SS line to replace the stock hardline.. I already eliminated my damper box.

and I found one on Taka. So STFU

[blownmotor]

fucking pointless to get a ss line when stock hard lines already do their job and the hard lines are already mounted in place and you're changing it to ss line because why your dumbass the likes to have some clutch line flopping around when the stock lines are perfectly fine

No FUCKTARD. I'm replacing the line to eliminate it as a suspect for air leaks.

and it only flops around if you do half-ass work. All it takes is a simple ziptie or 2.

I bought an Earl's replacement clutch line from FRSport.com for $41.64 shipped.

Earls Stainless Steel Clutch Line (http://www.frsport.com/Earls_Stainless_Steel_Clutch_Line_Nissan_S13_S14_S 15_p_1221.html)

[unicoladron]

Neme,

Agency power makes a really nice braided line that is wrapped in some black plastic protective shit. they make a long line for "AT to MT" conversions and a short line that is probably for people who eliminate the dampener box. i actually accidentially bought both of them,and it worked out great and it's the perfect length when using both.

short line:

sweet. I'll hit him up.

[Rayne]

Thats just the short line. Well I guess that is what I get for being too tired when I sent in the order. No big deal...I know a pick and pull I can get the stock hard line from. I guess I will up grade later.

[Dream240]

taka has them for $65 for the complete I think.

dammit, I bought mine about a year ago, for 80. Oh well. Works great though, you have more than enough line so that you can move the slave around when you need to. There's no tightness in the line at all.

[unicoladron]

yes, you should definitely get both of the lines. they work perfect.

[s13silvia123]

few years back when i did my swap i had someone made me a complete SS lines for me. i'll get some pics up for ya. nothing ever went wrong for me. i had it for almost eight years now.

[vvtisupra]

sweet. I'll hit him up.

just found out he is at SEMA so you might want to give him some time

[NemeGuero]

thanks for the headsup.. was wondering why he hadn't gotten back to me.

[g6civcx]

Why are you even asking? Taka Motorsports for the clutch line.

[vvtisupra]

cuz ash > takamotorsports

For me I just like Ash's personal touches on things. He's a 240 owner and a hachi owner, a 510 owner and an ASE certified Mastertech, not to mention he's worked at Bakerprecision a while making custom lines, for daily cars and trucks to full raced out cars and trucks. Yah pretty much when I need to do lines I just go to healtoeae86 (aka ash)

[Neejay]

The Agency Power auto-to-manual line is the full thing (MC to SC). That's all you need. Look at the fittings:

http://www.agency-power.com/catalog/images/ap-240conclutchline1a.jpg

$40 :D I plan on getting one, because I bent my hardline the wrong way and I can't use the clutch bracket with my SS clutch line...so mine just dangles.

EDIT: errrr...looks like Im wrong? That guy on the first page said he's using a clutch line + this long one.

[MURPHY]

so the agency power one does pretty much this. so for 80$ you can get from the CMC to the slave

[Neejay]

^^^Not sure now, I thought it did, but the guy on the first page said he's using both?????

[NemeGuero]

Yeah, I'm wondering if the agency one is too short by itself..

[Neejay]

It's 52"...I just sent AP an email.

[NemeGuero]

I don't know how long it needs to be, so that info means nothing to me. hahah

[MURPHY]

ok... so it deletes the damper and acts as a clutch line too? wow...

EDIT: I see you're in Japan? Do you have an actual silvia/180sx? or a USDM 240sx? Of course the length would be right if you had a RHD one haha

[MURPHY]

sileighty_85 no more neutral rep for ya

surprised it deletes both. wth's the point of them selling a clutch line then...

[Neejay]

OK, got a fast repsonse from AP:

The conversion clutch line replaces the hard line and we recommend using the

for those who dont' want to ditch the hardline but don't like the rubber line anymore..

[MURPHY]

^^ well duh. cause that means more money for them

[Neejay]

^^ well duh. cause that means more money for themYeah, that's what I was thinking. lol

But sileighty_85 has a RHD 180sx, so of course that line would be the right length.

[NemeGuero]

Yeah, I'm just gonna have Whats his face make me one.


And WHERE the fuck are my measurements for the drift button dude? lawlz

[MURPHY]

pm me a price when ya get one for that line. i might want one too.

yea but that's 48 inches so the agency power one will work.

[Neejay]

According to that, he only used a 4ft line...the Agency Power line is 52" = 4.3ft = WIN

that would be tight but expensive

Nah, I keep bugging him about it but no go.

[k's_silvia2.0]

[Sonic Motor]

I can help you get some SS clutch lines. I forgot the price, but its around $30ish??

PM if you are interested. I was gonna help a friend start a group buy or something for it, but i dunno if ppl are interested. then i saw this thread haha...

[NemeGuero]

You better get on it! haha j/k


I already paid for the other SS lines from healtoeae86... thanks tho

[k's_silvia2.0]

I sent you a pm.

[NemeGuero]

I got it. I have a few ?s though on your dimensions..

like this?

[johngriff]

Neme,

F the drift button, way too unreliable.

Just pull the locking mech out of the ebrake, park in gear.

I've had those stupid buttons unlock mid bullshit, its not fun.

As for the SS line, best mod to clutch system. Bleeding now will take 2 mins, instead of 45, pedal feel is a "little better", not tilton good, but not nissan bad.

Well ive had mine in for a year with no problems.I supplied him with the dimensions for the exact one i have.Hey you got it Neme?

[2iv0 sx]

Wow I wanna get this conversion done now. Thanks for the link vutony! Looks like earl's ss lines are simple or might just go with the agency power

Let me get a button too!

[johngriff]

Yeah, I am kind of "no frills" and "no mistakes" what you do with your spin turn knob is your own business ;)

[NemeGuero]

I'll make a thread for Neme's Buttons. hahaha

I don't know how much Aluminum I can use for free, but I'm sure buying a piece of extra stock wouldn't be too much. Al is like $3 /lb.

[k's_silvia2.0]

Im first inline.;)
All gonna be silver or can you get anodized?

[NemeGuero]

Na, I don't have access to an anodizer. Yours will be free since you're helpin' me out. Others I'll probably just charge shipping.

[vvtisupra]

what a coincidence just talked to ash and he said your hose is done and being sent out tomorrow

[NemeGuero]

Sick. He said he was gonna ship it tuesday but whatever. lol

thanks for the update vvtisupra

[k's_silvia2.0]

Any prototype pics yet?

[Slidin240Wayz]

I ordered the Agencer Power line from 240sxMotoring on Tuesday and received it on Wednesday.

52 inches it is.

Holler!

[NemeGuero]

Yah, I just finished making the first one. You gave me CRAP dimensions. hahaha

You used a ruler and eyeballed it, huh?
I got close, but the button needs to grab the original button more (which was the purpose of the rear dimple).. I gotta drill it out more and then it should work.

It'd help if you could get that pic to me.

the finish looks much better in person.

That, and I suck at taking pictures and the flash is hella bright.

[k's_silvia2.0]

Gotta bore that out and make it about 1inch deep maybe a lil more.Looks good though.

[NemeGuero]

Dude, you're terrible.. the whole part is barely longer than 3/4 inch. hahaha


Yeah, I gotta push the drill through about halfway through the neck of the part. Woulda been easier to do before I parted the piece from the stock though!! Now I gotta grab just the hat in the 3 jaw and thats not gonna be fun.

Get me those pics!!

[bejota180sx]

can i get in one of those if they work? doesnt have to have any finish or colors or anything just sumthing when i go for a run stik it in there and keep moving and take it out as soon as im done (in case i have to park on a hill or sumthing) if you make any extra ones tell me ill see if i can find the $$$

[NemeGuero]

haha, good, cuz they won't have any finish. I don't know how to annodize.

I don't think you can remove it and just have a working e-brake again, cuz you have to release the return spring.

This doesn't keep your e-brake from working.. you push it in and it stays in and the e-brake releases by itself.

You can pull the button out to lock the e-brake for parking on hills.

[NemeGuero]

I'ma close this thread and make one for just the buttons.. I might have to talk to Kevin though cuz it may be a "vendor" thing..
