So the idea is to bleed one set of lines completely … either RR and FL or RL and FR), beginning with the longer rear line, and then turn to the diagonally opposite set of lines, again beginning with the rear line.

This no longer applies to any modern car. All cars 2012 and after are mandated to have stability control, which means they need a 4 channel ABS system to control each corner independently. A 4 channel ABS system means there is a hydraulic brake line from each caliper to the ABS pump. Most cars had a 4 channel ABS by the mid 2000's and all 370z have had it.
