Braided Brake line

Today my front right braided brake line popped and all my fluid leaked out. Luckily it happened half a block away from my house. Question now would be where can I get a replacement as I have the Z32 BBK? I got one awhile back through Matt Blehm but his site is no longer available. Are the Z32 and maxima brake hoses the same? Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks but i really need to know if the fitting end from the 3rd gen is the same as the Z32 or not? Dont want to buy a line that is strictly only for a Z32 and not fit to the metal hard line from our 3rd gens.

I'm no expert , but I know they are different. Z32 caliper use double flare fittings, not a banjo bolt. Are your hoses one piece or do they have an extra fitting at the caliper?

Search for 300zx or Z32 caliper conversion hoses/ lines. I found some for a 240 pretty quick.

Off the top of my head I can’t remember and it has been raining here in Miami so I haven’t been able to take my wheel off and check. I do know my hose is a one piece when I initially did the conversion. I did find the hoses for a 240sx/300zx conversion. But if the 240/300zx fits then I’ll get it but i need to know if those are the ones i need?

You'd have to get the length of your current hoses and compare to whats available.
