Techna-Fit Stainless Steel Brake Lines (Cheapest Prices Around)
$80 SHIPPED
Texas residents pay 8.25% sales tax.
I'm selling BRAND NEW Techna-Fit Stainless Steel Brake Lines for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gen Maximas. 300ZX Big Brake Kit upgrades are also available. I can also get them for other cars for similar pricing; reply here if you want more details.
The lines are also available in different colors:
Red, Blue, Black, and the regular Silver. There is no extra charge for the colors. Clear coating is also available for no extra charge.
I also have the 300ZX conversion lines for the 4th gen and 2000-2001 Maximas. Please PM me or post here if you are interested in those lines. I can ship a kit of just the 300zx conversion lines for the front or I can ship a combo using the standard rear SS lines. The price is $85 for the conversion kit with stock rear lines, or $45 for just fronts; prices are SHIPPED.
These are brand new, DOT certified, Technafit lines that retail for $115 plus shipping. Now you can have them for $85 shipped.
Why do you need stainless steel lines?
Stainless Steel Brake Lines are an extremely cost-effective way of increasing your car's braking feel and performance. From the factory, a car's brake lines are made out of rubber. Over time these rubber brake lines wear down and become weak, possibly even broken. If a brake line breaks or leaks, brake fluid begins to leak out at a very fast pace. Brake systems use brake fluid and pressure to push calipers or drums together, effectively slowing down your wheels. If you run out of fluid due to a leak or break, you will lose all braking power and the ability to safely stop your vehicle. Stainless Steel Brake Lines use a stainless steel braided sleeve with high quality stainless steel connections. Stainless steel can handle the elements and constant use, providing you a more reliable and safer braking solution.
In addition to safety and longevity, Stainless Steel Brake Lines increase your braking performance and braking responsiveness. Factory rubber brake lines expand when brake fluid is moved through them, resulting in a mushy, soft brake pedal feeling. The expansion of the rubber lines during braking also reduces the braking power sent to the calipers or drums, reducing the effective power of the brakes. Stainless Steel Brake Lines are much stronger and do not expand, resulting in maximum braking power sent to the calipers or drums.
These Stainless Steel Brake Lines are D.O.T. (Dept. of Transportation) approved and made to MVSS-1006 specifications. Many aftermarket brake lines and stainless steel brake lines are not D.O.T. approved.
Stainless Steel Brake Lines are extremely affordable and are one of the best aftermarket values out there and cost much less than OEM rubber brake lines.
Below are some pictures of the 6th gen lines. You can see they're factory sealed and impressive quality. They also come with all the necessary hardware:
Please reply to this thread if you are interested. If you want to purchase, visit http://www.centexracing.com/cars/nissanmaxima.html and begin shopping. Specify the color you want in the checkout notes.
For installation instructions, you can follow the instructions on maxima.org: https://maxima.org/shoptalk/sub_modi...es/index.shtml
I personally think Motul is overkill on the brake fluid unless you have upgraded rotors and plan on racing. You can pickup a few bottles of DOT3/4 brake fluid at your local auto part's store for about $1 per bottle.

Yeah I wish you hadn't either. Goodridges are nice but so are these. They're teflon lined, lifetime warranty, etc. I don't know why people pay more for Stoptech or Goodridge when they can have these for $90 shipped. $130 for Goodridges is a good deal based on what I've seen.
If you have any friends interested, you now know where to send them. I have lines for a lot of popular cars.
Thanks,
Brian

Explain??? I had the Stillen's on my Maxima and I popped one but it was because of my sway bar bolts being installed backwards. I then had rubber OEM ones put in and they tore only weeks after I installed them. Then I realized I had a problem with the sway bar. The Technafits are extremely high quality and your's is the first I've heard of any Technafit break. They have a lifetime warranty, are DOT certified, and have Teflon coated internals, you can't beat the quality of that.

alright first off let me say how much i hate my technafits........ reasons following.......... the fitting at the end where they bolt up to the caliper are WRONG, they push the line into the cv joint and rip it, secondly i was the one that had the line go pop on the highway...... i wish i had spent the extra dough on the goodridge lines.. i am speaking from a 5th gen point of view, dont know bout ne others and to top it off technafit was not willing to replace nething!

panda_1,
Sorry you had a bad experience with Technafits; like I said previously this is the first problem I heard. I wonder if you ordered the wrong set or if the wrong set was mailed out by mistake as they do make a 5th gen part that should just bolt-up. I think someone may have shipped you the wrong part which explains the situation. Obviously if the connector doesn't match then it's not the right part, I don't know why you continued to try and install them when they weren't naturally fitting.
If you would've bought them from me, then I would've made sure you would have got a replacement or a refund. If you want me to talk to Technafit I can see what I can do.
For everyone else, I know a lot of people running Technafits and haven't had any problems.

I've ran and/or sold about 500 of these lines, and on only one occassion do I recall having an issue and it was installation related.
I run these on my car, which will be ran in NASA SRX class, and I love them. They work and they are affordable.
<--- Maxima.org has some cool smilies.

Panda, were these lines I sold you? I've sold probably 200 sets of these so far and have yet to hear of a problem with them as well.
they shouldn't be anywhere near your CV joint, and if they were from being too long, it's easy enough to zip-tie them to the strut or something else out of the way.
99% of the time these things pop is from installation/user error.
only ONCE have I seen a line leaking, and it was from a poor crimp on the line and was replaced for free by technafit.

hi Brian,
Do these lines have a PCV sheath over them or they bare?
As well, did you post this in another Nissan forum? I could have sworn I saw it somewhere else.... Do you have any for a 3rd gen Maxima SE and other Nissans (eg. NX2000?)
Thanks,
Jason

I have a set on my way from Brian right now. I am not going to install them right away, but I will when I need to redo the brakes. I'm 100% confident these will work with no problems as longs as they are installed correctly. Ive dealt with stainless braided high pressure line on a constant basis for the last 10 years, and Ive rarely seen a line break that was not due to it rubbing on something. Those lines I did see break (2) were under 3000 psi constant pressure in a high vibration, high stress enviroment (helicopter transmission pressure line)

i didnt buy them from matt, and they were the correct ones for my year, irish44j has also had issues with them and there is a 7 or so page thread regardgin issues with them. the problem with them is not the length but the banjo nut at the end, it bolts fine but does not have the proper angle to clear the boot.

Well it appears Technafit responded by reworking the part slightly:
Josh, I have looked at the site and the picture that was posted. I see that there could be a problem, we were not aware of any problem. No one ever told us of this issue, we sell a lot of these lines. I believe that the issue can be solved very easily, by putting a banjo with a with a different angle. So that it clears the CV boot better, also we can put a clear cover on the hose for caffe protection. For the guy who lowered his car, the lines should have been made shorter, obviously when you lower the car, the lines become too long and will rub somewhere.
We stand behind the product that we make, anyone with a problem with the front brake lines is welcome to return the lines, for replacement ones. I would someone to try the replacements before we do this. Please let me know, if you are interested in testing them, or if you have someone else in mind.

The complaints some members have about him not retro-fitting the exact oem style fitting to me seem reasonable, but Stuart's response makes sense. Goodridge doesn't even have the OEM style fitting for the same reason. Thanks for pointing us to that thread as it was even informative to me. The last post of the thread seems to show that everything fits fine and dandy with the revised ones.
mtrai,
Let us know how your install goes!

I ordered these lines with the other GD on brake componenets. I am very pleased with them, and I would definitely recommend them to other Max drivers. I've had them on a few thousand miles, and I'm experiencing no 'fade' in brake power. So, if you do not have these already, I would definitely get them now. My $.02

i have a set of these on my maxima for over 2 years F+R now.. I bought a set during AutoMax_95's very first GD.
i've used them with 3 different FRONT calipers (same as my speedbleeders, they transfered right over, and should be packaged together as ultimate brake assessories IMHO) first i had them on my stock 1-piston 4th gen calipers (they helped but brakes still sucked) then i had them on my A32 Cefiro Dual-Piston Calipers (much better definitely an improvement!) and now i have them on my 300ZX 4-piston calipers (now i have great brakes)
there is a big difference in pedal feel with them (SS lines) and with the 300zx calipers the maxima stops on half a dime, and i still have 16in rims for the nice quality ride and light wheels.
I've never had any issues with the lines, i had them before i was lowered, and now that i am lowered still no change. i must have taken off my brakes/calipers over 15 times, bending the line, and hanging on the line, and NO problems with the 4th gens whatsoever.
+1 for Good Brake Lines

I bought a set last year and moved and never put them on. I am honestly going to either sell them for now and re purchase them later or just wait for the factory warranty to expire. I would hate to sit on these for another year if someone could use them.
10-24-2005, 10:16 AM

then i had them on my A32 Cefiro Dual-Piston Calipers
Got mine in the other day. It was shipped very quickly. Thanks BrianV.
I remember seeing that 5th gen thread about hitting the CV boot. When I install I will make sure there is not an issure, but if there is, then I will use zip ties and report back.

Seems like a lot of you have had good luck with these lines. Again, this is the cheapest I've seen them go for so jump on the deal, especially while I still have stock on the lines (which means you get them a lot quicker).
I am running low on 4th gen and 00-01 lines, I only have two left in stock now. I can always order more but it adds about 2-4 days to the ship time.

Posted an update:
UPDATE: I also have the 300ZX conversion lines for the 4th gen and 2000-2001 Maximas. Please PM me or post here if you are interested in those lines. I can ship a kit of just the 300zx conversion lines for the front or I can ship a combo using the standard rear SS lines.
