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.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
