Ok...I bought the kit from someone off this board. Anyway, I don't see how you can use Maxima brake lines on 300ZX calipers. The Z calipers use hard line with flare and nut fittings. The Maxima use the ring and bolt fittings. I'm confused. Maybe there are different models of calipers for 300ZX TT.

the early 90 NA calipers are thinner than the later model NA calipers (which are the same as the 90+ TT calipers), but the brake lines are the same, regardless. Pics of SS brake lines for the Z32:

I don't know about the fitment, so I'll let someone who's done the conversion jump in.

The lines are the same. I bought SS lines for a Maxima and when we compared them at the shop, the fittings work just fine with the calipers.

Here are some pics of the caliper. Can some one tell me if these are the right ones.
