Brake Line Question!!!

[rps13drift]

I searched but couldnt find a definitive answer. I ordered stainless steel brake lines for stock style caliper(Q45) but the company sent me z32 conversion lines http://forums2.freshalloy.com/images/smilies/mad.gif Is there any way that these will work or should i just send them back?
thanks

According to spl's site, the stock banjo's are the same as the Q45. The 300zx uses the IF fitting. Get in contact with the company you bought from and get an exchange.

yeah, the z32 lines seal at the seat, i doubt a copper washer would seal right without the proper flange on the threads. just get the right ones.

Also, you might wanna invest in a 10mm flare nut wrench if you haven't already.

I rounded the sh*t out of one of my hardlines today, even after soaking it in PB Blast.

And get a good set of flare nut wrenches. I have some normal Craftsman ones and they open up with any force.

Honestly,

If the Q45 fittings are banjo fittings like on the 240sx, I don't see why it wouldn't work. As a matter of fact, I put my old 240sx calipers back on my z32 converted brake system, removed the banjo bolt and then plugged the z32 lines directly in.
