M35 Braided Brake Lines.

[scotty nm35]

Im about to order a set of braided lines in from the UK, just wondering if the 350z has the same length lines front and rear. Anyone changed them over?

HEL have colored lines with stainless fittings for $120 delivered from UK, looks like the best deal by far.

AFAIK they are different. the fronts are longer due to the front driveshafts

[scotty nm35]

Is there any that do fit? I can get custom ones made but they don't have stainless fittings, only zinc, and they are 3 times the price.

[zei20l]

try www.maltech.com.au for custom lines. they are fantastic quality (used them on 2 S15s) and will make up pretty much whatever you want

G`day Guy`s ,

i have contacted Phil about GroupBuy & Stagea Line`s

As S2 are 835 mm long with the 3 block`s, so he`s going to see what they may cost ,

Not sure if MN35 are same so may be you will POST up few Photo`s & give us some Size`s ,

cheer`s Chuckie.

i bet you M35 brake lines are different, being that they are different cars and all

[richzx]

How much shorter are the 350z lines? If its just a couple of cm would that really make any difference once the line is pressurised?

[zei20l]

i think its because we have a front driveshaft, and the line bolts onto a different spot, and needs a slightly different length to make it to the caliper

[rb26stagea]

assuming they are the same; I may have made an error and bought non-brembo braided lines for my V35.... If this is the case, I'll pm you: they cost me less than the advertised price you stated...

[chuckie]

Guy`s any hope of PHOTO`S of your LINE`S ,as i need to get some size`s of then to see if there same as S2 or S1 ,hope to see some soon

cheer`s Chuckie.

[chuckie]

ok i have the Photo`s of S2 stock line`s they are about 830mm long with block conector`s & hard line.i know the Block`s are a fixing block so whether we really need them ?,iam not sure they are really needed as long as we have something to tie them with to keep out of harm`s way,ok so may be SOMEONE with MN35 will give me some feed back so we can LOOK AT the GROUP BUY ON BRAKE LINE`S ,

Cheer`s Chuckie

Well, going by the illustrations in FAST, NM35's share front brake lines with one other car... the V35 "S.4WD" from 2001-2004.

[scotty nm35]

They are definitely different Chuckie.

I will get Maltech to make a set up for me, then hopefully anyone else will be able to order a set through them.

can you take some Photo`s & post them up with lenght`s so we have some idea on what were looking for ,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

Did you guys end up getting braided lines?

I thought I read something about Scotty and Ironpaw getting G35 Stoptech lines and making them fit, but a bit of searching hasn't found anything. Maybe I was imagining it?

Is it even worth worrying about for a road car? I'm about to get some stuff from the states and they have reasonably cheap G35 lines, wasn't sure if I should do it when I did rotors and pads. Maltech et al seem to think the life of a rubber line is 6 years, so mine will be well and truly past that...

[scotty nm35]

I had Maltech quote a set for me, it came to $700. I decided to go the G35 lines. I havent fitted them yet, should be this week when the Brembos go on.

Ironpaw's lines went on fine but they dont just bolt up like the stock ones...

[bigkevracer]

Whats the difference in fitting?

[JayM35]

forgetting the 4wd, would 350Z lines fit a rwd M35?

I'm sure you'd be ok; the 2WD front end is the same as a V35/Z33 front end.

I've sold a number of V35/Z33 front bars to go on 2WD M35's Perfect fit ; no issues.
