When I do my RHD conversion on my S13 240sx I am going to need to somehow find the rear brake lines for a 180sx (at least this is what I've been told). Does anyone know where I could obtain these? I've seen websites for businesses that say they can custom make brake lines for any application, which sounds like a good option, but I know if I tell them I need rear brake lines identical to the JDM 180sx they are gonna be like so I'm not sure how well that will work either. This seems as it will be my only major speed bump in the conversion. So if anyone could help me source the lines that would be great.

Thanks!

the rear brake lines are the same as ours..the hard lines on the other hand you can get from someones empty clip, along with the master cyl. then you cna just make a fitting to connect and run the lines down the frame rail. ....sound good?

Ok, now do I have to get the hard lines from a RHD clip? If so wouldn't they be included on the clip that I order. Sorry, I'm just a little confused. Thanks alot for clearing matters up for me.

i think he said u can get it from a front clip

Thanks, I thought that's what he meant but when he said:

The whole, "someone's" part threw me off, I thought maybe it was something that I would have to get seperate from my clip.

well i didnt know you was gettin a whole clip for your swap. so i was just saying you could gett he parts off someones elses. you are Golden with the clip. you'll have everything you need to make it happen

Cool, thanks alot for the help rudeboy. Once I actually get the clip and get started I'm going to make a very informative and picture filled website following each step that I do for the swap and the conversion. I'll post it on the board as soon as I get going.

You can buy straight lengths of hard line with the proper fittings on the ends and then just bend them to your application. That's an option if there are no suitable hard lines available pre-formed. Most don't come with that nice coating that Nissan puts on their lines though.

Where can I buy these hard lines you speak of?

Thanks!

To get the proper threaded ends I have to go to a local place called Foreign Autopart. I don't know if it's a national chain. I haven't had to buy any for my S13, but did have to for my S12.
