One more update:
TIL that the brake line into the akebono caliper is a flare fitting, and the akebono has a specially designed inlet for it. So despite fitting dimensions being the same, the hard line just slides in and out and leaks. Rookie mistake on my part.
Got some stoptech lines for both the 370Z and GTR coming tomorrow. The GTR one has protective sleeving on top, and I'll see if it works better.
