What bolts do you use to mount the 300zx brakes to the s14 kunckle? stock s14 caliper braket bolts or the 300zx bolts?

Also does any one know the size of the s14 hard brake line?

Use 300zx bolts. The 240ax ones are longer and will grind into the rotor.

It's the other way around. I just did z32 brakes a couple of days ago.

To answer OP's other question, the hardlines on the s14 are 10mm. Make sure you use a flare nut wrench to prevent stripping the head, and use lots of penetrating oil. Even using a flare nut wrench, I stripped mine and had to order a new hardline.

Oh it is? My bad then. But yeah I learned the hard way. Everything installed, I try to pull out and front weeks wont budge.
