Are you planning on installing yourself ? If so please do a DIY as I'm interested in doing it also..

NewYorkJon34 03-11-2011 10:45 AM

I have a shop that does all my work for me, it should be a pretty straight foward install tho

daisuke149 03-11-2011 11:04 AM

The installllls really easy. Its bleeding / replacing the fluid that takes time

NewYorkJon34 03-11-2011 11:08 AM

I have 2 1/2 bottles of that motul fluid, that should be enough right?

uh yeah.... plenty

I ordered the Z1 lines, and then sold it because the ZSpeed HD CSC comes with the new lines pre-installed. I'll let you guys know in July once all the work on my car is done.

Nope, it replaces the hard lines as well.

What would one use to insulate the clutch line from over heating?? Besides adding different fluid i mean.

It already has some wrap on it stock. Just take off the stock stuff and re-wrap it around the new stainless line. You don't have to go overkill on it.

The Motul is RBF600.

I had a spongy clutch pedal and the Z1 stainless steel line along with the higher temp DOT4 fluid fixed it. I can't recommend it enough.

Personally, I installed the line while I had my cats off. I couldn't imagine trying to get in there to unclamp and unscrew the stock hose with those things in the way. Pain in the ***.

yup, i tell everyone i know, for how cheap this mod is, its reallly reallly realllllly nice and worth it.

ChrisSlicks 06-26-2012 03:12 PM

The #1 thing is swapping out the fluid, it doesn't hurt to do the line but high temp fluid plus a little bit of insulation will make 99% of the difference. Put some MOTUL RBF600 in there and bleed it nice (which can be a bit tricky) and it is a huge improvement as things heat up.

The clutch line runs at a much lower fluid pressure compared to the braking system so the SS can be considered a bit overkill. It's cheap enough though, so if it makes you happy go ahead and do it at the same time.
