Stainless Steel Brake Line Install - Detailed Walkthrough on a 370Z

[@flipmode00]

This is the best one I've seen so far, love the fact you take time to show everything in details. Love it

[@Dynmawr]

Thanks! Needed this for my Z1 brake upgrade

[@videomaniac108]

This, along with Hotchkis anti-roll bars, were a couple of the early mods that I did to my Z. I'm looking to go with the Akebono two-piece aluminum rotor hats for my brakes when I need to have a brake job done.

Thanks for the detailed video

Thanks for this dude! Let's get you to 10K tonight!

[@abdominis21]

How’s of holding up?

[@jesussallopez]

Nice. Thank you!

[@thecarizon504]

Lmk if you have any questions doing this yourself!

[@kevinherrera3992]

Thanks for vid !!

[@hjs7816]

Thank you for your video

[@USMCGUY2020]

Did u have any issues when turning the wheel all the way to either side, since the lines look to be routed in a way that added alot of bends and they might not be able to move enough for the wheel to turn without pulling on them hard.

[@thecarizon504]

I haven't noticed an issue yet. Next time I take the wheel off I will inspect for damage. The lines are equal length and run the same path so they should realize the same stresses, if any, placed on the stock hoses.

[@USMCGUY2020]

please post an update video on how they are holding up. Thanks.

[@roundearthshill248]

@@thecarizon504 have you had a chance to pull the wheel off and check for rubs? Lots of people have had rubbing issues with these Z1 lines, but maybe they didn't route them the same way the OEM line is like you routed them. I bought the Z1 upgrade kit a few weeks ago, I've installed the pads and rotors but have been nervous about the lines and fluid for the reason of the rubbing issue.

[@thecarizon504]

@@roundearthshill248 i had no rubbing issues but I also zip tied it in such a way that it doesn't rub on the control arms or strut.

[@Awsomostmaximum]

Thanks, doing a big brake kit and needed an idea how to route the lines. Used the same path, but turned the front wheels left and right to get a visual for adjusting the slack...

[@the370zguy]

Im your first comment 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@thecarizon504]

My man. 👍

[@odysseus2k7]

Did you torque the banjo bolts to 12lbs?

[@thecarizon504]

Not quite just did it to roughly the same tightness as when I pulled them off.

[@Z33Garage]

Has anyone gotten updates on if Z1 has replaced these chinesium bolts they tend to send people?

[@thecarizon504]

They are not great... to put it politely.

[@Z33Garage]

@@thecarizon504 I have the lines for my 350z in a bag to install em this weekend I'll prob just reuse the factory banjos

[@Brian-cb3ce]

The Akebonos dont have banjos?

[@rogeliomartinez7847]

the banjo bolts torque spec is like 12 15ish idk why u did it to the point it snapped....your issue not z1

[@luispina317]

Just put these on today. Not to confident on the fronts. How have yours held up

[@thecarizon504]

Yeah, the fronts are tricky to route, mine began to rub. I reangled the brackets, used a couple of zipties to control its positioning a bit better, and wrapped the high risk areas in electrical tape until I can come up with a better solution.

[@roninmantis7584]

Enjoy your videos, but you should probably wear rubber gloves when playing with brake fluid. I would also like to see how your front brake routing job works after it's been on the road for a while. Routing is always a concern when changing the original design.

[@thecarizon504]

Agreed, rubber gloves are recommended. I have been bad about this when handling fluids and mean to change that habit. I will have to do an update on the ss lines after I have had them on for a while.

[@sharpemang]

Dude you are awesome!

10:24 creepy face made of seam sealer

[@tedtedness184]

AND No review on how the braking personality changed?????? You should added a small update of your findings on if it was all worth the upgrade.

[@OGYELLOW]

My z1 banjos snapped as well. Poor quality

[@theemekanix]

No zip ties required. You routed them incorrectly.

[@Ant-hg2qk]

How do you do it then
