I assume you only want the braided lines for the look of it - because there is no mechanical reason to use braided lines for this application.

Budget for $20-40 per fitting and $50/m for the hose. You will need at least 4 fittings, possibly 2 more depending on what fittings you have on the separator. You also have to think about how you are going to connect the hoses to the cam covers. To do it properly you need to thread the cam covers and screw in a nipple of weld on an AN fitting as shown in the second pic (add 2 more fittings).

Dude go to Pertek i done mine an dmy mates braided lines to our catch cans... It aint cheap tho dude... for 1.2m of braid fitted was $190, with the four weld on threaded fittins (2*rocker covers, 2*catch can = $26) plus the two 90 degree screw on fittings are $28 each for the rocker covers, $18 each for the straight fittings for the catch can... as i sad totalled $190. Once ya do that and then braid ya oild and water lines to the turbo and a few others it gets very exspensive, ya better off jsut using a colored silicon based tubing. Looks good and works. I have since taken my braid off the catch can and just run black silicon tubing and cops don't like the the braid, it makes it look to serious under the bonnet.

Cheers for all that guys, its good to get other perspectives. I might bar the autobarn option, if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it properly.

I just like the neatness of the braided lines, and in regards to police.... I have other illegal/defectable things on my car that are more expensive so it doesn't really bother me.

GTS4G> Problem isn't with other exspensive parts dude, cos usually they have no idea about mechanical stuff, its only things that stand out that catch their eye and defect. I have a big turbo, FMIC, filter, huge BOV everything and they said nothing, had no idea what it was when they popped the hood said yeah its all fine, except braided line he asked what it does and was iffy when i said its just looks, cos i didn't want to reveal its there to take the extra pressure its bearing. I had a Super AFC-II on the dash, three gauges up the pillar, boost switch with 'Boost' next to it, and they proceeded to defect me for my exhaust being to low to the ground as i sparked when i went over a bump :S Thats how smart they are.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
