Help please, am i missing anything??

Dragon_Ball_Z · 06-24-2015, 02:22 AM

Hey guys, I have a base model 370z that i want to do a brake upgrade on. Can anyone please tell me if i need new lines? I was told that base brake lines won't work even though i have SS BF Good rich sport lines. I was told the sport lines won't work without buying new oem sport rubber lines. Is there anything I am missing for the conversion? I also have the new dust shields! Any help is appreciated

The banjo bolt for the stock caliper is too long for the akebono, looks like you have everything but are going to need the shorter banjo bolt. z1 may have it, other than not sure where to get it from.

Thank you trips, Also guys i just ordered the banjo bolts. I was told that i do not need anything such as hardline for the front calipers, is this right?

Are the brake lines the same? Anyone know? Do I need metal hardline brake lines for the front??

Call Z1. Maybe they can help you. But the comment above about the shorter banjo bolt may be the answer; not sure.

If I were you, I'd go to someone like Z1 and buy upgrade lines that will for sure make this work.

I got upgraded lines in the pics above. Just not sure if they were missing anything.
