Finally got round to fitting the rear Hel braided lines
heads up on these really,bought direct from Hel as stated on there website and speaking through email and calls these were the right kit until i removed everything to find that the bolt caliper end was too small and the wrong thread :(

100% the wrong brake line.  It might fit, but doesn't mean its correct.

The kit I bought myself was for the R32, definitely been sent the wrong lines there mate! These are how mine sit:

[toosmiles]

Damn!
these were direct from Hel and i personally spoke to the manager after the first set was wrong and he said oh yes there definately correct as weve sold this kit for years

[th3_f15t]

I've had a few issues with Hel in the past, but seeing as the 4motion system between the R32 and 6R is the same, just use R32 parts.

The rear brakes lines are the same, doesn't matter if it's FWD or AWD, if I recall correctly. Just the fronts are different.

This is my rear brake line. If I remember well, my mechanic had to do some work to it so it'd fit correctly:

cant understand why Hel were adamant they fit,the first kit didnt fit as the bolt was the wrong thread and too small so they sent out the correct hoses free of charge next day which are now fitted perfectly
id presume they still do the same job?
ive had no problems with them

I'm no mechanic but those hoses eliminate the caliper hard pipe and should do the job well too.

thats what Hel said m8,the main reason for upgrading as thats the weekest point they say

Well after my first 1/4 mile run at 12.5 secs ive decided i need a better map to my plug in revo,quite pleased with this tbf,running full weight compared to the other cars with no spare tyre and no back seats
Ill go custom R-tech map and run there full pcv delete as my partial charcoal can/catch can install isnt fully removed,then still getting parts together for a turbo build
A good friend installed some nice Corbeau Rss seats for me this last few days also,needed to go reclining with being a 3dr,i dont want to make the car unusable so people cant get in the back,even if no-one really sits in them anyway lol
my main reason i wanted to change is for the weight saving,ive got 5.5kgs per side off,11kgs overall so im happy with that,quite comfy and loads of support :)
