Josh@STILLEN · 06-25-2009, 09:13 PM

Is there interest for a GB?

Anyone have pictures of the actual Goodridge lines?

I got mine as part of the Stillen brake kit, but it is the whole snake that goes all the way back to flare connector on the body. Our cars have a hard line that goes to the hub so I'm not understanding why they would want to replace a perfectly good hard line. There is no part number on the piece so I can't check using that.

The hard line is specific to the location of the inlet port on the OE caliper. Since the new caliper has a port in a different location, the OE hard pipe will no longer work.

A full kit picture is in post #18.

I am sure there would be Josh.

Josh@STILLEN · 06-26-2009, 02:55 PM

Working on it now.. There is a difference needed with the Akebono calipers, but nothing huge. I'll post details when I have them.

Josh@STILLEN · 06-29-2009, 03:37 PM

So the Goodridge lines are being worked on ASAP. There just needs a minor change to one of the banjo bolts off the non-sport kits to accommodate the new caliper. Kit will be very similar to this:

Josh@STILLEN · 06-29-2009, 03:39 PM

Side note: The kit pictured above (Part #GOOD22034) fit the 370Z non-sport.

Yeah that looks suspiciously like it will work with the stock brackets and attachment points, too, which probably makes routing and travel stuff simpler.

Josh@STILLEN · 06-29-2009, 04:25 PM

They mirrored Nissan's design with the block fittings.. adds cost, but will bolt up like OEM.

sensi09 · 06-29-2009, 05:18 PM

Other than the brackets, is there a reason why the goodridge lines cost more than other lines. Other than brand name, is the quality better, because in some cases, they're almost twice the price as other brands.

Since the 370Z has a hard line to the caliper you can use the M35/45 line kit minus the extra flex line to the caliper. The 2 cars (M35/45 and 370Z) share the same hub. I just learned this when I installed the 370Z sport calipers and rotors on my 06 M45 as a direct bolt on. No brackets were necessary and the line routing is darn near identical. I think I've even seen some retailers selling the M35/45 kit for the 370Z already.

Can you confirm that the M35/45 SS lines will work on the 370Z sport?

Ken in AZ · 07-28-2009, 11:56 PM

Well the 370z ss lines from concept z worked on my M45 - can't see why they wouldn't go the other way
