I don't have OEM front and rear sport brake hose part #s but they are different than the base brake hoses. I installed aftermarket braided stainless lines.

You are better off just ordering the kit from Z1 it will be cheaper and you have different rotor and brake pad options. You can also get the cheaper Infiniti calipers with their kit and have them sent to Mike the powdercoater for a custom color.

Hope this helps. :tiphat:

thanks! great reference... i probably will go with Z1, you just never know what other deals you may come across on these forums though.

rep for you! :)

Here's more detail on an install and another way to cut the rear shield without grinding it off:

Install Akebono Big Brake Kit on 370z or 350z

^Cotter pins came with brake pad kits from nissan.

Ah, makes since as we used Project mu pads. Nissan/Infiniti wanted 7 bux each for the cotter pins I hear. We found another source.

old thread sorry, BUT, I just have a question, The fronts look like a direct swap once going with ss braided line. My question is the back. Do I still have to go to Nissan and buy the brakeline hold down bracket (55286-1MA0A right rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket & 55287-1MA0A left rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket)? or does the new ss braided line have a tab to mount it? this is like my only confusion lol

The answer is NO, if you go ss lines you dont need to buy the brackets.
