Yes, I will be getting a 15/16 280ZX master, probably from Arizona Z Car with the brake order. I am leaving the old 7/8 cylinder on there now for safety sake. No need to let dirt and dust in.

Satin black finish looks good!

So the purists may not like this, but I wanted something unique.
The bare lines are for brake fluid, the red lines are for fuel and the black line is vapour return.
This was a huge pain in the butt to get lines bent and shaped just right. Flaring was a cinch (thanks Chris!) but the heavy lines were a chore.
Just the engine bay, clutch and front brakes to make up and then the lines are complete.

You've gone to a whole new level, Mark.  Looks fantastic!

I like it Mark. Nissan should of raised the bar and done all Z car lines like yours! It makes good common sense and looks great too!

Thanks everyone! I found a really nice metallic red that matches the anodized AN fittings in the engine compartment. The brake hats and coilover suspension all match the same red too.

'Please put down your HVLP gun and step away from the rotisserie with your hands held in sight.'

p.s. Where is your brake proportioning valve?

LOL, the stock valve is in the engine compartment. I will probably add the wilwood model there too and run it wide open just to have it in place if needed.

Woah, that is awesome!
