yep, there was a chap over here in Australia who had the new brake line configuration on his later model 370z.

my clutch line install got messy too. the stupid union nut on the hard line had corrosion right at the tip/base of the threads. No amount of penetrating oil would get in and with the limited space, a flare wrench could not budge it. i managed to finangle a regular ring spanner on there and that didnt help either.
In the end i hacksawed off the offending section and hammered a 6pt socket on it, rattled it off.

The hardline will be eventually replaced but i ended up creating my own solution to get the car back on the road. It involves -4AN braided hose

Thanks to all for replying. The front lines are making contact with the suspension components. The line is intact, but the rubber material that protects the lines broke a bit. I inspected the lines, wheels, surroundings and no leaking was found and the line is still in good shape. I left the car today and should get it by tomorrow. I requested the instruction to at least throw them a bone with pics and instructions. Im also wondering how they messed up with something like this
