dave5526 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I've been doing some searching on both Google and past threads on here and can't seem to find a definitive answer... are the brake hoses for all MKIV's the same, or different for some models? I've seen several threads on other forums where people have said they are all the same, but I have a set of stainless steel braided hoses I ordered from HEL a few of years ago for the MKIV and one end of the hoses doesn't fit (IIRC it was the caliper end, but it's been a couple of years since I tried to fit them). Trying to get to the bottom of whether HEL sent me the wrong hoses, or if there are different hoses for different models. Most of the hoses for sale (including the HEL ones when I bought them) just seem to say "Supra JZA80" or similar without mentioning whether there are variances by engine type and UK/import, but I've seen one US site that lists different sets for TT and NA models so I suspect they aren't all the same and I have a set for a UK TT. If there are different ones, does anyone know where I can get a set of brake hoses (preferably braided stainless steel but good quality ruber type will do) that will definitely fit an import NA? Had it MOT'd today and this is all that's keeping it from being back on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave5526 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Cheers, thats the kind of posts I've found but I hadn't find that one where a few people are sure they are all the same! The fact that the hoses I ordered from HEL don't fit my car, plus the link below were making me doubt it - if you scroll down the page to the Powerhouse Racing hoses there are two parts listed with different SKU's, one "Front & Rear Brake Lines for MKIV Supra with N/A Rear Brakes" and one "Powerhouse Racing Stainless Brake Lines for your Mk4 Supra with TT Brakes". http://realstreetperformance.com/Shop-by-Engine/Supra-Brakes/ Will get a wheel off and have another look at what the probem was, it's looking more likely that HEL have sent the wrong hoses, happy to order more but didn't want to do so if they were just going to be the same.
