Originally I thought we’d just merge this tubing back into the factory tubing but Nick Hunter of 5523 Motorsports had a different idea. We went back and forth in some heated debates, but eventually Nick won out… His skull and shrunken head tattoos can be awfully intimidating at times.
To clean up the engine bay and free up valuable real estate on the fire wall, all of the OEM brake and clutch lines were removed. The brake system was entirely recreated and routed through the interior using Earl’s Performance Products stainless tubing and black ano tuff fittings. At the same time, 5523 Motorsports couldn’t resist redoing the plumbing for our fire systems.
At this point, nothing remained of the factory brake system and even our aftermarket steel braided lines were ditched in favor of Zombie spec replacements.
5523 Motorsports made all new brake lines using Earl’s Performance Products -3 stainless steel Speed Flex line complete with a PTFE liner. Again, with corrosion being a concern, stainless steel Speed Seal banjo fittings and hose ends were also used.
Our resident MotoIQ hand model proudly shows off one of Project 240SX LSR’s new brake lines made from Earl’s Performance Products stainless steel fittings and braided line. 
A quick disconnect dry brake was installed in-line with the clutch line to allow for easy removal of the transmission without having to unbolt or bleed the slave cylinder. Typically a Stubuli branded version of these can cost a pretty penny; however, Smiley Racing Products makes this version that is more affordable.
