so i bought z32 rear conversion stainless lines, ive got all the spindles, hubs, everything swapped over, all i had left to do was put the calipers on and screw them in.. or so i thought... the stupid stainless "conversion" line doesnt seem to fit the flare? its like the stainless line is just slightly too small and the flare wont catch, it just spins on the edge of the thread... my hands are torn up and i spent the last 2 hours flipping things around, trying new angles, etc, and all i did was leak out all my brake fluid...

am i missing somehting? i searched the net and havnt found ANYONE having ANY problems with the ss conversion lines... and BOTH left and right sides are like this, there is some weird *** metal bend that i cannot figure out, then a fitting that will not screw on to ANYTHING...

i think some one sold you the wrong lines. if i am correct it sounds like a 350z line. i think the whole is slightly smaller. could be wrong on that

I agree, I did this not to long ago and my lines fit on perfectly.

Is it possible you got z32 lines for the front and 240sx lines for the rear? I'm asking you because ProjectNissan sells 2 different sets. One for all z32 lines and one for z32 front and 240 rear. It's because some people only swap the front. Anyway, it's obvious that you got the wrong ones. You shouldn't have any problem if you got the correct ones.

All z32 lines

z32 front & 240 rear

You might want to talk to Robert @ ProjectNissan or Kuah @ SPLParts.

Mine didn't come with the gold parts either, little different design I guess, although I would have liked the BLING!!!!
