I'm pretty sure you need to order adapter lines.

Hey man, yeah I confirmed with Enjuku that the conversion kit they sell for the Z32 brake caliper upgrade basically have the same fitting for the R32 and Z32 caliper(the inlet on both model calipers is the same thread size and pitch).

I think they charge 55 dollars for the front lines, and I would imagine something similar for the rear lines.
You could also find a local shop that makes custom hoses and lines (preferably one that does good, reputable or well known work) and see if they have the capability to make DOT approved brake lines, and you might be able to get them custom-cheaper.

If they can't make custom brake lines because of the DOT approval situation, then they probably make clutch lines at any length, and with whatever size fittings you need ~cough, cough~

BUT, I want to add that you are putting your ability to stop and possibly save your life or someone else's in this shops hands. And I wouldn't want to imagine if you got in a wreck and somebody found out you had custom 'clutch' lines made that you were using for brake lines, lol.

I mean honestly, I would rather just spend a little bit of money (when I have it) on something with some sort of guarantee. But just throwing that out there. And there are a ton of awesome reputable dealers that sell this product, so just google it.

Hope that helps.

Find a complete pair of 300zx break lines, I've had to do before when I was waiting on stainless steel lines. The 300zx line should be screwed into the hard brake line that is coming into the wheel well, other than that plug and play
