SS Clutch Line

I've been searching around for a stainless steel clutch line for the VE, but have had no success in finding one. Is there anyone that makes them? I saw one for the VQ that bypasses that tiny box with the bleed screw, but it looks like the incorrect length.

The same guy who sells the ones for the VQ sells them for the VE as well. I haven't installed mine, so I have no idea if it is the correct length or not.

Same benefit as a ss line for the brakes. Less flex in ss vs rubber line. And if you are running an ACT clutch kit, it can only help

So for an OEM clutch, to simply switch from rubber to SS there will be a negligible difference?

Let's say you need one.

Price a new one from Nissan
Price a superior one in SS.

Make your decision.

I think they are $23 new or something like that.

Heck I might even sell mine, but it will be a few days until I take it off.

I got ripped off on a group deal, i think i paid 26 bucks!
I'm kidding... It was well worth it. It fixed a clutch leak i didn't realize i had. Very PREDICTABLE clutch diengagment and engagemant.

Did anyone else here get rid of the cluch line cooler when they put in the ss line? I did, but I changed too many things at once to notice the difference (clutch, master, slave, line, trans, etc)

Where did you get it from? or where could I get one from for that approximate price?
