I recently removed the Rotora BBK that I had on my G35 because I am returning it to stock to sell. Now I have purchased a factory Brembo brake setup to re-install. I have the rotors and calipers installed and I am trying to re-connect the brake lines. I left my stainless steel brake lines in place when I removed the Rotora BBK. The Brembo brakes that I bought did not have the "banjo bolt" in the back of the calipers so I bought 4 OEM ones from the local Nissan dealer.

My problem is this, all of the banjo bolts will thread into the Brembo calipers but they will not thread far enough to make a snug connection with the caliper. All of the calipers have the same problem.

Is the problem the "banjo bolts" that I bought, the stainless steel brake lines, or the threads on the calipers? And what should I do?

Thanks

 

I would try and get Stoptech bolts if those are the lines you have, I used them on both stock and Brembo calipers (I wonder whose rears?) and no problems

 

I was afraid of that. I included the Rotora bolts with the BBK. Looks like I'll have to find some!!

My parts are everywhere

 

get a few more washer to slide on there.

i still have my stock brake lines, wanna trade for those ss lines, i have some goodrich lines but those look nicer.

 

More washers would be another way to go as well.
Today I've got to try again to get off the alternator pulley. Looks like I'm gonna have to drop the alternator.

Thanks for the offer on the stock lines but at this point I just want to get everything back together. All I've got left are the brakes and the alternator pulley. I think I'm gonna just try and find the Rotora bolts or buy some more crush washers and call it a day.

Matter of fact.. If I could talk you into helping me with these last two things (pulleys mostly and just finishing up the brakes) you can have the SS brake lines for the stock ones. I'll throw in dinner too..

 

me?

im down for helping out, what do you need?
