I think i asked before about the fitting of these but how easy are they to do and would they put presure back on the brake master cylinder when plumbed in?

if its plumbed in wrong then yeah you bet! dunno bout them silly nissans but on a cam theres a single line goin to the back and basically you tap into this so your hyro is in line with the brake system,not t ed of it but in line ,im not very good at explaining so look up the newbies section on driftworks and theyve a faq for hydro handjobs

on nissans its basically into the rear line out on the master cylinder into the hydro wand an out of that into a t piece by ur diff that goes off to either caliper...simples :D

Its a S13,its all striped out so wouldnt worry about that.Can you fit them in vertical position,ive seen most guys with them like that must be easier to use having it more or less in front of you.

Have to get wheels as no.1priority mate,ill contact you again wen i have a few bob,if you are outa stock then it won't be the end of the world.

how long would it take usually to fit them.
