- So unfortunately these situations happen, you take your car to a professional to get a good job done, and they leave your car in a much worse state than it was before. Sadly I paid a company to fit my hydro handbrake and it was not only a bad, but a dangerous job, so today we are fitting the hydro handbrake ourselves and re-doing it properly, I should have just done this in the first place!
So here is how to properly install a hydraulic handbrake to a nissan 350z!
I had a bad feeling watching them install, thanks for letting us know we will stay clear
I was thinking very similar
The hand brake and foot brake systems really should be entirely separate from each other to prevent these sorts of issues turning into complete brake failure while on the road.
Deffo something down the line I’ll look into
If an inline hydro setup is done correctly and with quality parts it will be just as reliable as before.
Yep I agree.. I think you get a second caliper carrier for the 350/370z’s then you can run the hydro directly to it.
Modern vehicles all have tandem mastercylinders as standard so he would never have lost all brakes anyway he would still either have the fronts or the rears depending on how he's routed it
i remember watching that video and thinking that guy fitting it seemed a bit off.. no smiles no banter or even plugging his business.
That's so true. Plus he looked like he'd Rob your grandmar
Lee I think you have been very fair in your approach to this issue at the beginning of the vid. As someone who takes pride in every interaction I have with people, I would be embarrassed with the work done. Even if it's just advice, being wrong when someones safety is on the line beats a few quid.
Lee totally agree with everything you have said, being a driver also, I would suggest from now on anytime you have any work done to your car you check it out yourself before doing any type of motorsport. Us motorsport drivers should always check the work really before taking any vehicle on track just for your own piece of mind really!
Well done Lee good job , hate it when you pay and trust a business to do the right job and they can’t be bothered
Wow, astonished by the work. Fingers crossed they see the error of their ways and get back in touch
It’s perfectly fair to call somebody out on bad workmanship. When you pay hard earned money for work it should be done properly!
Mate you need to shame that business. What happens if they do it to someone else . Brill vids
Imagine if it’s someone else exactly dodgy b*stards
They are in the installation vid
Driftforce.
Totally right. What if they rip off a pensioner or disabled person
@@Sendit1118 is it actually drift force as I was thinking of using them ?
This is why I do jobs myself. I'm glad you got it sorted 😉
I would personally use a dual calliper bracket (Gktech makes one) and have the hydro and normal brakes on separate systems, giving you two points of failure. It would also make driving it to and from events much easier as you could drive the car as normal as any Zed owner is like (trust me, I also have one) 😉😂
Well done Lee ,boss job mate, that company are a disgrace, you could've been hurt or worse 👌💪🤟❤️
Lee don’t forget to put some paint or something over those exposed holes and then cover them otherwise you’ll be sending your car off to rust city pretty soon
Totally agree paid for my clutch doing for a 3 part clutch kit. They never told me that all they did was change the clutch itself and thats it and to top it all off my drive shaft flange thrust washers were snapped to bits. If u want something doing, do it yourself 👍
So glad you have it sorted. Like you said we all make mistakes but for them to act how did is so wrong
That's absolutely shocking work.. I'm a mechanic was the owner of my own garage for some time.. you should of named them aswel.. dangerous mugs
Driftforce ....watch the installation video 👍
Thats frigging appalling! So many issues there thats its obvious Drift Force or whatever they where called dont know how to make brakes. The shoddy routing is just apathy towards their work, the lack of grommets is lazy and short sighted but the actual leaking unions is the scary bit that means people should know who the cowboys are. I'm taking an educated guess from experience they have done one of two things, either they have used the wrong tool to make the ends of the lines concave rather than convex or visa-versa or they have used 3/8 UNF unions in M10 cavities which will fit but are very loose and come apart with pressure in the system (this may also explain the rounded off nuts if they used a metric spanner on an imperial fitting).
Its absolutely shocking though and well done Lee for showing what can happen when people who don't know how to work on brakes, work on peoples brakes!
Ha! Its funny when my instincts are right. That place looked dodgy just from the state of their work space and the way they were putting the lines in 😳
Not always the case obviously and a ford main dealer actually rounded my wheel nuts and sent me on my way only to find out when I got a puncture on the M25 and couldn't get my wheel off 😡
Sorry you experienced this but these people are out there and we should share their work so they don't get away with such shoddy and dangerous work
Your 100% spot on get rid off them
nice, at least we all know where to send our Ex's to for their brakes changing now 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, that response from them is crazy. That's like going for an oil change and them putting back the original oil back in. Then when you you find out and voice it with them, they say "well you didn't supply new oil" 🤦🏽♂️
Mistakes can and should be rectified. Every single RUclipsr should follow your example here.
Yeah Rochdale my area 👍 have a look at cowm leisure for your off roadinng in your Lanny
Just dispute the payment. Shocking workmanship
should do what dmo did to Fabien
Ive been around the drift game in the UK for years, and can honestly say ive never heard of drift force before.
Did you comment before watching? Lol
@@leebo130 Skipped ahead, changed the comment now mate
@@vmks6580 skipped ahead, changed it now
That’s not a mistake lee thats f*cking idiotic workmanship, absolutely disgusting and damn right dangerous, the state of those brake lines and the fact they’ve not even used any grommets or sealants to make it all at least “look” like they know what there doing is beyond me!..you would of thought that any customer going to that company for work doing they would supply some grommets etc its appalling, some companies shouldn’t be “trading” if that what you can call that, glad nothing serious come of it and that your safe!..surely it’s comment sense that the hydro and foot brake should be completely separate🤔..obviously not🤣..think I speak for everyone when I say cheers for the heads up to stay clear of them cowboys😅..cracking job bro, keep smashing the content👊🏼💯
Everyone makes mistakes, but it's how you deal with the issues is what makes the difference.
Mate it could of been the last mistake Lee ever made if he went into a wall at 90mph
That's not a mistake, that's a botched job by people who shouldn't be in the trade.
That’s not a mistake is just not giving a shit
@@gymbruh1824 or causing a multi car car crash on the motorway
@@jaytc2003 exactly bro
paid a local company who deal in auto electrics.
had my car for 2weeks with a roof fault.
Got it back and found various screws missing/not done up.
simple thing to get wrong ffs
Amazing how they can call themselves drift force and not even fit a hydro
Jesus wept....what a state.
Hi, for that to work, you will need to to delete the ABS, other wise it will release the preshir on the brake that is looking,, they will fight against each other.
With regards to the holes that are drilled in the car with no grommets/sealant applied, unfortunately copper is very soft and if I was a betting man I would put money on the copper pipes being far softer than the metal that the holes are drilled through, so there is only one winner here, the metal. Worst case scenario would be a severed copper pipe caused by friction from the steel that the holes have been drilled through. Severed pipe equals no fluid equals no brakes.
Wow man. Looks like a child did it😂 fair play for battling through dude.
That work is appalling, the holes in the floor are a ticking time bomb, but those flares were shocking. I always leave enough on to cut off and redo a flare if I'm not happy with it. I've never seen copper pipe corrode that fast either, but the more expensive ni-cop pipe is supposed to be a much better option
You probably have but don’t forget to plug the holes left and under seal them!! Don’t want more rust!
That garage should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!!!! I do all my own work on cars now, Took my car in because it had a misfire at idle and was told it was a fuel injector which they wanted to charge me £350 to change 1. I changed all 4 myself which cost me £114 for genuine Bosch one's only to find the garage ripped all the wiring to the fuel injectors showing exposed copper. I repaired the wiring and the misfire was still there, I changed the spark plugs, coil pack and the misfire was still there. I opened up the engine and found every single screw to the cams were loose. I removed the cams to check for damage and luckly there was none, put the cams back in, tightened them up in sequance and the misfire was GONE and now it runs lovely. I was determined to fix it myself because the AA and garages couldn't fix it and my mum had cancer, needed the car to go to the hospital for chemotherapy, she died sadly in December 2022 but I'm proud of myself for fixing it.
If it's regarding safety you should name and shame them. You have the right to, plus you'll be protecting others from getting the same happening to them
Drift works
Formally
JOKE WORKS 😆 🤣 😂
Weren’t you there with them helping them do it? Either way proper bodge job that
From the amount of bodge jobs I've had from garages I've completely given up on them. Do it yerself and you know it's right
Lee, the car is looking mint You had it re-sprayed or something 👍☹️
even tho we all know the company responsible for this from watching the installation video BUT they should be named and shamed to prevent it happening to someone else and maybe resulting in a catastrophic brake failure could be fatal!.. the whole reason you wanted it done properly was for the peace of mind knowing it was done properly.. glad you got this before it was too late going sideways on track towards a wall! FLUMPING COWBOYS 🤠 ugh
Could tell they bodged it on the video just chucked it in
Love watching your videos mate this car need a rear spoiler body kit your the best mate I'm glad you sorted this before u or someone else got killed
Lee bodgewood 😂😂😂
Great video Lee Lockwood you done a great job buddy
Them lines are shocking 😱 a week old where they get the pipes from wish ?
Best hydrobrake system is adding a dedicated caliper separate from the braking system
Nice and close to the exhaust too👍🏻
Propa job done in the end well done pall
Decent work lee well done mate 💪🏼
Jesus. Why I do almost everything on my car my self (unless it’s alignment etc) hate paying for shit like this
Chrisfix does an amazing indepth video to fitting a hydro, maybe they should take note from it
So here's my take. The fact they let you drive that car away knowing what a bodge and how dangerous it is, is disgusting.
People make mistakes but that is no mistake. Corner cutting start to fiinish. They need to be shamed, not only is it a bodge but that could of potentially caused a serious accident. Garages that carry out that standard of work should not be open.
This is why I don't like going to a lot of garages.
Brilliant vid pal sorry I've not been on for for a while been going through a rough spot hope you are doing great
KWJ ALL THE WAY. that was a massive bodge from start to finish, I wouldn't want a set of AMP cables running like that never mind break lines, that was bad 😳 😬
❤
They looked a set of rough bodgers when I watched the video, was surprised you used them?
glad you got that sorted lee defo didnt look brill first time round looks great now
If you want something doing right. Do it yourself 💪🏻💯 even if you struggle like fuck like me 😂
That garage reminded me of crest motorsport and we all know what happened to them..
Driftforce cowboys , hit them up for holes in your car and leaking pipes they will be happy not to help ya fix any issues 😂
@Lee do you know what t pieces and spec/size of the lines you used? I want to install my hydro and I’m not paying out for extra brembos and duel mounts
Drift Farce 🤠
Rite bodge job that lad !!!
6:47 wow those flares are absolutely atrocious
Great video 🙂👍👍
The quality of the work is shocking. I’d be reporting them to whatever professional trade groups they profess to be part of and refer also to trading standards. This could have had fatal consequences.
No reputable company would do a job like that, let alone on a vehicles braking system. If anything had happened and you had been in an accident due to brakes failing, I'm pretty sure the insurance company would be very keen to find out who's handy work that was? End of the day, you can't mess with your brakes and is the exact reason you took it somewhere to be done as you wanted it to be safe to drive. Did the correct thing high lighting what's gone on 👍
That's proper shocking
The garage looked shonky as fuck 😂
fair on you as you gave them chance to reply but yeah some people would take quick cash then actually building something up which can result in having more customers
I have used drift force loads and never had no problems and I’m still living so all good
All good? After see there work on here. Rather you then me 😅
How can they say "it's just how it is on 350's".. Seems it can bolted to any car, regardless of wbat it is, just a case of being professional in your work. Well done Lee😉.
Front tire is damaged too....
Happens way to often,but don't worry they will get what's coming to them. In the video where you did it. You tried to do a nice thing and go ce them promotion, but now that promo will come back against them as they will be known. Others may have used them because you have, so these videos are needed to ensure people don't have the same bs
Put some rivnuts in and bolt those T pieces down please. Lol
No wonder they're leaking!
Best Content ever
You need 4 big chunky rubber blocks for that lift and it will be bloody unreal!! Shame about the issues you’ve been having, in the process of trying to open my own garage. Shame they didn’t try and help with your situation.
The council would of done a better job 😂
Mate the way u did it craps on their way even if they did it right
Great job lee
No wonder they had problems bleeding the hydro when it was first fitted COWBOYS 🤠 YEHAA
Thank you Lee xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well done guys !
Main thing this is not safe. U can loose your live if copper pipe rubbed through. How a workshop can do something like this
Wow, hopefully didn't cost you much for them to make a mess like that. Maybe try a vacuum bleeder if it looses peddle again
cowboys and nothing else.
What in the bodge job... That installation wasn't a mistake, it's just pure laziness and carelessness.
@lee Lockwood is that a wilwood 0.7?
I reckon they thought you were going banger racing not drifting…. What a bunch of cowboys name and shame them, save another poor bastard from getting ripped off/killed!
It’s no wonder they were leaking at the hydro because those flares are terrible
Yes bro another great vid
Drift Force?…more like Fart Force
Looks like someone couldn't be arsed to be at work. Glad it's sorted - how is it even possible for someone to fuck up so consistently on a single job?
From my own personal perspective working in the trade, that is absolutely disgusting and beyond terrible, how they could've sent you out with a car in that state is beyond, I don't blame you for outing them due to their stinking attitude aswell.
If it was a person's first time fitting that they would have done it better than them, a supposedly professional garage. I'm stumped at how someone can get that so wrong, it's really basic stuff
Well done son
Fuck me, Stevie Wonder an apprentice down there?
Go on Lee!
If you don’t tell people this guy could kill someone! Be responsible dude!!!
