The hydro SHOULD NOT be used as a parking brake, because the pressure decreases over time. For an event on flat surface i dont see it being a problem, but if you are daily driving and parking thats a big NO NO. (At least i wouldnt chance it)

does the proportioning valve work? if it does how do you install it?
i just installed the PSM inline setup and am having a really hard time bleeding it. it hardly slows the car down. (stock s13 calipers w autozone pads) i ordered EBC yellows to help |

Was wondering what people thought about $220 kits with lines done? Seems somewhat like a reasonable price no?

The cylinder has to be compressed either way...so if you change the pivot point of the handle (so the pivot is above the MC) you would reverse the way the handle would have to move to compress the cylinder. Hope that made sense. |

Any info on the mount. I would like for mine to be in that location but sit lower down on the tunnel.

Damnit... was working on something similar but of course home made. Thought I would be able to share the idea lol. Damn
Looks good though. Explained the same thing to him basically.

It should fit. All you may have to do is maybe re-drill the holes with the slightly bigger bit just for some le-way of space. Normally S13 metal tranny rings fit on S14's as well so shouldnt have much of an issue. If you do though, just try the redrill as the changes will be very small.

ok so i have the parts shop max in-line setup. i have stock s13 calipers w autozone pads. i was finally able to bleed it using a Mityvac vaccum bleeder. my brake pedal feels firm again, no sponginess or anything, and the psm handbrake barely slows the car down. my stock e-brake locks up the tires just fine. any ideas?
i think swapping in better pads will help but if my stock e-brake locks them up right now i dont see the use of the in-line setup. i think ill start saving up for the dual caliper setup :-( |

You have two hand brakes? Hydro and the stock wired handbrake? If so, the stock handbrake will lock if you pull hard enough unless you have already stretched the cable. Hydro handbrake will of course lock the rear brakes because its just like slamming on your brakes but on the rear only. Replace your stock cable and make sure its on tight but not tight enough to engage the brakes. Hope this helps. Unless the pads are completely worn down, it wont be the pads. Goodluck.

ok so
-PSM hydro in-line only slows the car down even though its been thoroughly bled. -stock cable e-brake locks them up fine so i dont think its an issue with the brake pads |

Something tells me you are bleeding it incorrectly. Have had many friends have the same issue and that was the cause. Try putting a hose into a small water bottle down to near the bottom of the bottle. Mostly use a vacuum line. Fill the bottle with brake fluid about a quarter of the way up. Just make sure its above the end of the hose and connect the other side of the hose to the brake bleeder. Then you can leave it open and bleed without having to worry about air getting sucked back in.
Also, make sure to start from the caliper thats furthest away from the master cylinder which in an S14 (not sure if S13 is the same but I dont doubt it) it would be the drivers rear caliper.

For RHD, you would just flip it over.
Looks like they updated their links. https://www.levelrideconcepts.com/lr...BjjCLjOjhDxTG0

-i had the PBM inline, i welded the brake in place with the cylinder off to make sure the seals didn't mess up then installed the lines. bled the lines over 5 times. confirmed with PBM i had ran the lines properly. the hand lever was super firm but would not lock up the rears what so ever. only when it was raining it would slightly lock up the rears, -i tried to completely remove the cable handbrake to ensure there was nothing interfering, no dice. . i switched out for another set of used s13 rear capipers with auto zone pads. . no dice . .i did talk to PBM they said they would work with me if by the time i order 300zx rear calipers and it does the same thing they will try and figure something out with me . . .I was thinking its an isolated incident but your story sounds exactly like mine

I am a bit curious on exactly what lines one would need for a dual caliper setup, because you can't use the factory hard line anymore. I am assuming just buy another rear hard line and mount it with the factory line. Thanks for any answer.

You can use hard lines if you want, it would just have to be the same as the factory setup where its a hard line to the back and into a Tee fitting, then goes out to both sides, at the ends, they change over to a flexible line and connect to the calipers. Thought its just easier to pay the extra amount to get flexible lines at the start, you can do it either way.

It would require a completely different set of lines from the hydro to each caliper...the stock lines would remain untouched. One line off hydro. Tee one line into two, one going to each caliper. Done |

How does a proportioning valve affect a in-line Hydraulic Handbrake setup?
I know a proportioning valve controls/limits the amount of fluid that can pass through. Therefore allowing you to change braking bias front to rear. I notice that some people use them, while many do not. What are the pros and cons? |
