OK, all the guides i've been reading have said that you need two clutch lines: a long hard line, and a smaller flex line. I have a stainless steel braided flex line, but I can't seem to find the longer hard line anywhere. The flex line goes from the slave cylinder into the hard line, right? If anyone could point me in the right direction on where to buy the hard line, that'd be great, thanks!

well, depending on the year, the one i have show in the one for the S14, you might have to do some bending, because you arnt going to be using the clutch damper thing. so that should be the part you need.

Awesome, thanks a lot! Are they both the same piece? I noticed one is from the Master Cyl, and the other is from the connector, so does that mean I need to buy both?

Well I bought an Agency Power clutch line and it goes directly from the Master to the Slave. Is your steel braided line not long enough to reach?

Also when I first did my manual swap I didnt need anything other than the hardline and the small rubber flex line. The flex line should go straight into the hardline.

the hardline from the master is just that. It's like those lines you see coming off your brake master. Just the one from your clutch master is a single long one. You'll probably have to do some minor bending at the bottom to make it fit but that's not hard to do. Get the stainless damper loop eliminator line from somewhere like SPL.

well, i just talked to the people and they said that they most likley couldnt ship it becasue its a big part(like a 5foot by 3 foot box) and he said you would need both of them, but i do know a custom stainles braided line, that cost like 65 bucks, it goes all the way from the master cylender to slave cylender.

the site is http://www.takamotorsports.com click products at the top and go to clutch, sroll down to nissan and its called MC to SC Clutch Line

wow so this allows just one line to be used directly from the mc to the sc eh? That sucks for me, because I bought the Taka clutch line, then i got another clutch line by accident that was almost the same thing. SO now i'll get this 65 dollar one and have two extra clutch lines laying around. lol. oh wellthanks very much for the help everyone!

sell them on here, im sure someone dont want the little rubber line that comes from the factory, i know i dont, thats why im gonna get that line. and it should give exceptional pedal feel because it braided stainles the whole way.
