Hi all,
It's been a while since I've done much contributing (two jobs, wife, kid, dog....) however I acquired a new DD (14' Q50s Hybrid) which has given me some free time to take my time tinkering with the G.

That said I decided to try a new brake setup and have long wanted to put in SS lines. I have a 2013 with manufacture date of 08/12. If you haven't read other threads, Nissan/Infiniti made slight alterations to the front brake lines after 06/12, meaning quick searches for G37 brake lines often lead only to pre 06/12 lines.

I researched tirelessly and narrowed down to Z1 & Goodridge as I wanted lines that follow the OEM pathway. There is a nice review and DIY for the Z1 lines by Ape Factory. The only downfall I saw to these lines is there is one extra potential place for leakage as there is one extra point of connection.

Front connections go like this with Z1: Caliper-Hardline-SS Line-Block-SS Line- Hardline-Master Cylinder.

As good as an option this seemed I was really intent on finding an answer as to whether Goodridge made lines for 06/12+. The Z-Store online showed a line but the number listed didnt translate anywhere else. I was able to eventually find the proper part number which is 22077. It was pretty easy to source but usually only listed as a 370z part, however they are interchangeable if you have the big Akebono brakes.





Comes with everything you need: 2-Front lines & 4-Clips, 2 Rear Lines, 2 Brass Blocks, and 2 Clips
(I forgot to include the brass block in the picture but it also included with the rear lines)

I ordered a set and got them installed this weekend. Fitment is perfect front and rear, following the OEM path exactly. The difference between Z1 & Goodridge is that there is one less connection point.

Goodridge Front connections: Caliper-Hardline-SS line/Block/SS line-Hardline-Master Cylinder.

The lines and block are all one component.

The rear lines are the same for both Z1 & Goodridge, the connections are:
Caliper-Hardline-Brass Block-SS line-Hardline-Master Cylinder.

Here are some pictures:

Thanks for setting up this specific thread, it's sticky'd as it deserves to be!


Is it just the front lines that changed slightly after 2012 models? And if so, do you know the part # for the models prior to 2013?

Thanks!

 

Thanks Brad! Hopefully its helpful for guys looking to make an upgrade. I know I spent more time than I care to admit reading and re-reading threads and combing the internet to find a definitive answer.

Everything I have read the front lines are the only thing that changed. I believe that part #22075 covers the pre MY2013 sport brakes.
