i'm trying to install the callipers from my front clip. I've got the rotors and callipers mounted....just a little confused on what i need to do as far as hooking up brake lines.... should i use the 240 brake line and the hollow bolt that screws into the back of the calliper... or should i try using the hard line that came with the brakes... only prob using the 240 brake line: it's a pretty tight stretch when the wheel is turned full rotation outwards (all the way right/ passenger side ...all the way left/ driver side) ... any suggestions?

Will the 300z lines work with the skyline callipers? and if so... where would be a good place to start my search

The s13 lines will work if the crush washers are good and it does not leak. I ran mine for a couple weeks that way. As far as the conversion lines several shops sell them. Check the sponser links. If you need them fast my experiance is go with heavy throttle. They have been the fastsest for me and with the least amount of problems.

DO NOT USE STOCK LINES WITH 300ZX BRAKES.the caliper is designed to be used with a inverted flare brake line fitting and will leak or possibly come undone if you use anything else.it is dangerous to do that, do not use stock lines on 300zx/r32/r33 calipers.

I'm not planning on running the stock lines.... i found a great deal at SPL for some inverted flare lines for 45 chungs... so i'm taking that route
