Hi Guys,

I've searched and searched this topic endlessly on this forum and on the web but I can't find any straight answers.

Can you guys advice on Braided Stainless Steel Brake lines for my 2003 V35?

Questions I have are:

1) Is it 4 or 6 brake lines that I need?

2) Is the 350Z kit the same as the V35?

3) I assume the kit for the G35 is the same as the V35?

4) Does anyone know if I buy a reputable kit from Ebay/US e.g Goodridge/Stoptech/HEL would still be ADR approved? I know the HEL website specifies you need to select ADR Compliance when shopping. Btw, the HEL website does not have the specific kit for the V35. Closest is 350Z - hence question 2.

5) Would Brembo or Non Brembo brakes have any impact on the type/number of brake lines?

I really appreciate any comments/advce/experiences on this! Thanks!!!!

Yes G35/V35/350Z are identical in terms of Brembo brakes. From memory there are 4 lines. I bought StopTech braided lines and they are good. Not sure if they are ADR though - but they do have whip test stickers/high quality ends - is a cop really going to pull you up on this? But I guess if you ever got defected it matters.

regency in SA is harshly against braided lines. their reasoning is: you cant tell if the rubber core has cracked or perished.

i did hear that there is a brand that is approved.... dont know if thats just a rumor tho

Lol, teflon won't perish like rubber. There is no law telling the owner to replace 40 year old brake lines but new replacement braided teflon ones don't pass? Regency are a pack of knobs.

As long as the lines are ADR approved and marked as such you should have no issues.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
