danger_supe Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 just had the lines checked on mines last week after reading this post and thankfully they look ok. not bad for 16yr old i guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 what unions to buy for the copper replacment pipe?? can i get them from toyota or do i need to get them from somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Just found this same issue on my car luckily off the road for a ground up restoration. I would just like to point out that my lines looked absolutely fine from front to back, until I removed the plastic cover on the rear cross member. When you check yours make sure you have the cover removed! These are a few pics I took whilst under the car, sorry for the quality (iPhone) these are with the subframe removed.

When you check yours make sure you have the cover removed! . The same on my 16year old UK SUPE. 16 years of salty winter roads and the pipes looked fine until you removed the plastic cover on the rear cross member.

Andy Blyth Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I've decided to replace my brake lines - I was just going to inspect them but I thought that I might as well replace the lines given the amount of work and access needed to do a proper inspection. Surprisingly enough, my brake line looks OK where it crosses between the rear subframe and the fuel tank. It's the fuel return that is the worrying one here. Looks like I'll be replacing the fuel lines as well! For future reference, the car is an import, 17 years old. It was imported when it was 10 years old. Elsewhere, the lines look fine, just a light dusting of a white powder like in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lebish Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for the post. I have just bought i 1995 supra. I will get them checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikbrunt Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 A bit of an old thread revival here I know... however my NA supra has developed a fuel leak due to this issue; is the only way to fix it to install a whole new line from front to back? Is it not possible to cut the pipe past the area of corrosion and put in a union so that you just replace the rear section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 They're not hard to do anyway, just a bit fiddly at the tank end. Just replace the lot, then you won't have to worry about them again Btw, there's loads of plastic clips that snap easily, I'd replace any that do, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikbrunt Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Bugger, I thought that may be the case. So can you buy the lines pre-made/bent from Mr T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 just got round to checking my brake/fuel lines today on mine and im pleased to say all is well!!!! (1993 supra na) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest civictyper2004 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I think i may have been struck by this too. Got to check it out tonight but there is what i believe to be brake fluid leaking out just to the left hand side of the driver side rear wheel. Luckily i noticed it last night and didnt get half way down the motorway before i found out about it - its coming out quickly too - got a nice tub full of fluid under the car now lol. Smells like brake fluid as well, not petrol. If its petrol im draining the tank before i lose it all, its expensive dont you know lol.

Sharpie Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Very happy to find my 15yr old pipes in good shape today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ree Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Great thread, I will be checking mine next time Im at my garage. And replacing anything that looks remotely corroded Im guessing one of the main contributing factors to whether or not this will happen on your car, is if it was a JDM import from the north of the island (lots of road salt in winter) or driven alot on UK salted roads. I would be very interested to know if someone who owns a USDM version, living in texas, has any signs of corrosion on their lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraGZaerotop Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 this is why you should keep more of an eye on your 20 year old motor fella this is scary stuff fellas, my next big brake would have been exiting the M6 at Lancaster (post house) where i tend to leave it late, for anyone who knows this turn off its VERY tight and VERY unforgiving, to be honest i am now after the event just realising how serious this could have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Guys, I'm about to get the fuel line replaced as mine is leaking where it has corroded under the plastic cover.What are all the parts(numbers) needed to replace this please? I've had a look,but can't see them listed anywhere. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
