i've just changed my front rotors on my 13' Nismo.
I noticed that the brake lines running to the calipers were rock stiff. Maybe the (High-rigidity brake hoses for 13' in the brochure) is in fact true.
The tutorials/youtube DIY videos did not seem nowhere as difficult and their calipers seemed to swing out very easily
this made it really difficult to swing out the Caliper because all the lines were rigid, even with all (3) 12mm bolts securing the brake lines bracket removed.
I had to give a little force to slide the caliper out of the rotors.

Made me feel like i was going to bend those brake lines connected to the caliper. anyone noticed this too?
