I'll be interested in stashing one away once the longer lines come in and have been fitted on some members' cars with confirmation that it works

 

As soon as someone confirms it won't fit on a 5th gen, ie 2000-2003, or the new longer one will fit, I'll mail it back.

It's a PITA for me to get to the post office nowadays, so I don't want to mail it back until we know for sure where/what the problem is.

 

paymen sent,

thanks again

 

Next Batch of lines has arrived!

I measured them out and they are roughly 17 - 17 1/4" long end to end. This is 2 " or a little more longer than the old one, and should fit great according to what everyone has said. The orders that I have been holding will be shipping with tomorrow's mail, and once I get the returns from those who want the new line I will be sending them out. Thank you to everyone who has ordered! Help to keep this going, spread the word on these clutch lines!

 

Is there a writeup on the install for this by any chance?

 

**Edit**

The length of the "upper" line on an 02 is 13"
I don't see a lower line in the system, all other lines seen below are hard. So at least for the 5.5 gen there is only one hose and it looks like the original shorter line was intended for 5th gens as I doubt it's different between 3.0 & 3.5

 

derrick, how long are the shorter ones and how do I specify that one when I order.

 

great info maximaman! When you order just let me know the year of your maxima and that should be good. Before sending out any lines to other 5th genners though I want to hear back from someone who can confirm the correct length. It has been difficult to get accurate length measurements on these things as you can tell!

 

I measured from the center of the banjo bolt to the threaded end of the Hard line on the other side of the lock plate. I use a flexible tailors tape to take the measurement. Granted this is on a 5.5 gen, so any one 2k2 or 2k3 is good to go with the shorter one.

Alex, you might want to check yours before you send it back. The hose is right under where the stock air box sits, and the lock plate & bracket are mounted to the trans mount. The other end connects to the top of the trans, very easy to access

 

maximan, so you're saying that the one i currently have should be fine?

 

Yup, Your injen may be in the way but the hose is right under it on the top of the tranny. You should be able to see the lock plate & bracket at the tranny mount, that's where the hose connects to the hard line. Also I rounded up to 13"...

 

ah, no wonder i couldn't find it...stupid injen.....will find somet time in this soon-to-be-cold weather...thanx.

 

Great info maximaman! UPDATE: for all 5.5 gens keep your lines! You may actually have the right length. Wait until PoLo or another 5.5 genner can let us know if the line fits correctly on their car!

 

VQuick and my lines are on the way. They shipped out yesterday. I'd expect them Monday.

Is it possible to get a SS line to go from the master to slave cylinder?

 

yes it is just figure out how long it needs to be. mine was done with my 5spd swap

 

Yup Hal, exactly what JDM said, it's all about length. the end fittings are the same right Frank?

 

Wait so let me get this straight....this new line replaces both parts of the soft lines and goes straight from master -> slave? Or just the lower?

 

It replaces all of the soft lines but it goes from the slave cylinder to a hard line which goes to the master.

 

mine goes from teh master to the slave

 

The line here available replaces all the "soft lines" which is the most important part. the line hal and frank are talking about would be custom made and replace the "hard line" in addition to all of the "soft lines". This does not have a lot of effect on the clutch feel, but what it does do is it gets rid of a lot of the loops and space that the hardline takes up.

 

UPDATE 10/26/04: maximaman777 has done some research and has informed me that the line originally made appears as if it was made for the 5.5 (or VQ35DE) gens. This is probably where the confusion has come from. Anyways, if you have a 5.5 gen you have the right line already and have no need to send it back. Thank you to maximaman777 for the info!

 

Derrick, when can we expect our orders to come in if we already paid? 5.5 gen here (3.5L) Paypal'd you a couple weeks ago.

Rob

 

Hey Rob, sorry it has taken so long for your order. I have been holding on to the 5.5 gen's because I want to make sure I ship out the right length line to you guys. Now that we know, your line will probably ship out tomorrow as well as all the other 5.5 genners waiting. Thank you to everyone for your patience throughout this!

 

Thanks...I meant to get to it this past weekend, but no luck. Hopefully, this weekend.

 

just got it, thx for great deal

 

Maxima8624: Glad you like it, thank you for your order and support!

 

has anyone confirmed the size on the 2000-2001 cables?

 

Hey Matt 01se, the 2000-2001 cables are the same as the 4th gen vq's. it's the 2k2 and 2k3 ones we were investigating, but that's all been cleared up now.

 

how can i get one of these. $25 still, right?
has anyone seen any brake lines in a group deal. the only ones i can find are like $120 shipped.

 

lines are available just send payment and include what car and part you are paying for and your line will ship out!

 

payment sent. thanks for setting up such a great deal. let me know if you set up a GD for brake lines too. or even contact info so i can set one up. thanks

 

Has everyone sent their old lines back that wants a replacement one? I have only received a few back which have in-turn shipped back out already. Are there any more coming?

 

Hey man I got our lines back Thursday. Thanks for the quick turn around.

 

No problem Broaner, thank you for your patience throughout this!

 

Thanx Derrick,I'm glad the short one work for the 5.5 gen also.
