I recently picked up some skyline brakes to put onto my 240 and I wasnt sure if I needed to get conversion brake lines like with a 300zx conversion. Any idea?? ---

What skyline brakes?? I have r33 gts-t brakes all around and I needed new lines. If you dont need them for whatever reason I would still recommend getting new ones because I can guarantee your old brake lines are almost rotted out. ---

^ Agreed. Brake lines are cheap enough. If your going to do a job, do it right. I wouldn’t drive a motorcycle without a helmet, nor’ would I drive a car with rotting break lines. ---

Ya thats why I was wondering cause I dont want to reuse the current one but are the oem fit stainless lines good for the r32gts brakes or do I need those conversion lines. ---

Get proper conversion lines for 240 to Z32 calipers. They will work perfectly and fit like a dream. Do NOT get cheap when it comes to brakes. Why must people be cheap when it comes to things that save your/others lives? ---
