The actual gas line itself from Nissan is special order. You can have a shop bend and flare a line for you, as I did.

martino is right , you cant have rubber the whole way because it can be cut from debris ect.  
you can buy gas line from any auto parts place by the roll for like 30 bux and bend it your self.  
if you wanna get fancy and flare it princess auto has a flaring tool for 25 bux

Having done this on 4 S13’s I found that if you remove the hard lines carefully you can make your own replacement lines using the originals as a guide and using a bender and a flaring tool. Buy the tool that can double flare for your brake line since you likely will have to replace all 4 lines when you start removing them.

We used 1/4" for the fuel supply and return - 3/16" for the vent line and 1/8" for the rear brake
