On the rear of a 510 the stock brake tee is different on one of the sides. 2 of the sides are inverted flare 10mmx1.0 the third is 10mmx1.0 but has no flare it is the rubber line that is straight cut and uses a washer as a gasket. I wanted to know is there another Nissan that uses a tee but has all 3 sides inverted flare 10mmx1.0 ? I got a Toyota one that is, but the threads are too long and the nissan/datsun brake line nuts are bottoming out and it is causing a leak. I could cut the Datsun nuts off and put the Toyota ones on my lines and re-flare them but getting a new tee would be easier than flaring old brake lines on the car.

the 240Z has one in the rer, it splits the main rear line to the 2 sides, all 10 mm inverted flare, right next to and above the diff to the passanger side

I found one a while ago, thanks though . The back of a J30 has the one I needed, someone had already pulled the diff so it was easy to get to.
