Just as a disclaimer, I will soon be making a tech guide on how to do the 1st gen 3000GT VR-4 (4 piston) calipers and big rotors (313mm) on a 2G GSX. I am just stuck on the last piece of the puzzle and wanted to get it cleared up.
The 3000GT calipers use a short (225mm) flexible brake hose that has two male ends, each is an M10x1. The 2G GSX uses a two-piece flexible hose which is 285+270mm long, and has a banjo bolt on the end which screws into the dual piston caliper. Interestingly, the banjo bolt's size is also an M10x1.
However, on other similar guides and threads, people mention that you need to change the brake lines entirely and just go with braided lines.
My question is, if both ends are an M10, why wouldn't the GSX banjo bolt fit perfectly into the VR4 caliper hole?
Also here's two pics on how this setup would sit on a 2G, the only custom bit being the adapting bracket (currently cut from plastic to use for mock up).
