Well on Rock's car he has all the RHD ABS stuff and everything even thought it doesn't work. I got some Japanese metric style brake lines from Autozone and removed the rear brake line from the master cylinder to the ABS pump. I ran one line from the master cylinder to what should have been the 'in' port on the the staging brake, normally this would be the reservoir port. The 'out' port goes to the ABS pump which then runs to the rear brakes.

I was gonna bypass the pump and go directly to the small junction block bolted to the right side framerail, but I couldn't get the damn line off. So on your setup just run to that. On S13's that junction block is located just above the right side framerail, on the inner wheel-well.


I am pretty sure I had everything plumbed properly but when I first tested it, it was sending fluid the wrong way, so I had to switch it. Either the staging brake has some internal passages and a very interesting way of pumping, or I just got confused when I first did the lines.

What I wrote above is the proper way to route the lines for a girling cylinder though.
