Modshack and I are going to install our GT Motoring Challenge stainless steel brake lines tomorrow. We'll try to take some pictures and post them this weekend.

I'll post some pictures later today. Everything went great with the install except for the rear passenger side. Apparently Nissan uses Gorillas at the factory to tighen all the nuts and bolts on the 370Z. We ended up with a cross threaded end on the hard line that runs from the caliper to the block. It was on there so tight that we could hardly get it off. It may have been cross threaded when it was installed. We ended up having to order a replacement hard line from Nissan. I'm still waiting for it to come in. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

As for the Challenge stainless steel brake line kit though fit and finish are first rate and it fits like a glove on the three sides that we finished. One trick though on the rear is to remove the hard line from the caliper before trying to break the hard line loose from the block on the OEM soft line. That way you can put the block in a vice and then loosen the nut on the hard line where it connects to the block.

Crazy Looking Connector on the OEM front brake line. Not sure why it's made this way as the one piece replacement line seems to be a much more logical choice.

Rear OEM Hard Line (which runs from the caliper to the block at the end of the soft line and replacement stainless steel line)

Rear OEM hard line and soft line in the vice so that they can be disconnected from each other. It's much easier to remove both before separating them rather than trying to disconnect them on the car.

Sucks about that part being cross threaded :(
