Braided Brake Lines

[rs88]

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

Thanks Guys. Appreciate your quick response! So Non Brembo and Brembo makes no difference in regards to number of brake lines?

no, but I doubt non-brembo would fit brembo so would be a specific order.

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.
