That's why I went premium. Rubs etc scare me on a brake line. But mine are rusted solid now so a blow out failure could happen anytime too. :tup:

:facepalm:

More joints to fail is not superior to a hypothetical possibility of rubbing, which would only happen if you didn't spend 5 minutes ensuring that everything was routed and secured properly.

I just ordered the non-premium lines from Z1 at their recommendation. Their reasoning was the connection blocks just add another potential leak point. Made sense to me, not to mention you save a few bucks :tup:

Well nissan and millions went into multi joints so...

And you can't spot rubbing through metal collars. I think this is a terrible design!! I'll take OEM style thanks.

So don't use those collars, you're a smart boy, you can figure out another solution. I believe in you!


You can take whatever you want, but adding more places for leaks or failures to occur over a simpler and lighter design is a step backwards. That's plain and simple fact. :tup:

OR.. or.. stay with me.. use the collar with a rubber grommet designed for these sorts of applications. :rolleyes:

Bumping a great thread.

I can wait to track my Z... my car is ready... Z1 brake lines, Motul brake fulid, stoptech brake pads and Swift springs... :p

Oil cooler? And which pads?

i still have the oem one but im going to buy the Z1 25 rows oil cooler soon... and the pads are the Stoptech Street Performance for now... when i have to change the brake pads trust me...im going to buy the Ferrodo one ;) like i do on my STi :tup:

Man this thread is awesome! Since my last miesly post I have upgraded to a custom 40 row tall oil cooler with thermo plate and stoptech cross drilled slotted rotors, "race/street" pads and steel lines (pro kit) taking out a lot of OEM steel line and yes.... Rubber grommets at the rub points... Stance coils and upgrading the OEM camber arms to SPL/SPC whatever big *** camber arms. Looking to put in aftermarket control arms up front and tighten the suspension overall. There on some toyo rcomps as well for racing only. Still just doing autocross but the driving is way better than I ever expected. Will be moving from Kentucky to the new england region (Massachusetts) soon. Hope to get some track time in starting in spring. I am learning so much reading all of this over again from start to finish. Thanks!

25 row is not enough for track btw, run atleast a 34 row

for some the 34 isnt even enough

I have a friend here in PR with the 25 rows in his Nismo and he dont have any issues with the Temp using the 25 rows.... Anyway the heats here are just 5 laps per heat... ;)

But thanks for the tip my friend....

Other thing that i want to install are the sways bars... Any recommendations???

I put my eye on the white lines for now
