You want stainless steel braided lines for RADIATOR hoses??? Why in the hell would you need that??? Are Are you sealing off your radiator that's made out of depleted uranium??? If the PSI in your cooling system is that high that you need SS lines, you have other issues...

If you're going for looks, that's another issue, but you'll just add weight for nothing...

weight aside, braided lines arent that popular for radiator and cooling systems on these cars, i find you see that more on domestic cars. You should try colored silicone hoses, they add some flair to your engine bay while keeping functionality!

Z1 Silicone


also, if you wanna add some bling to the bay you can get an upgraded radiator and throw a grounding kid it? Z1 offers a lot of this stuff, heres theyre cooling section with a few extra items that could interest you.

Cooling


overall i dont think youre going to find much braided lines for the engine bay, maybe braided slip covers? and as far as i know, those arent that great for your car. Maybe look on ebay for universal fit stuff that you can cut to size and see what size connectors you need. I tend to stay away from ebay stuff, though. You get what you pay for and all. Good luck none the less. hope you find what youre looking for

You are going to have to use slip on style if you want braided hoses. I used the Russell kit from any local autoparts store on my 350Z
