So i have a 1988 300zx that i recently purchased and its an automatic. i also picked up every single part i need to do a 5 speed swap. The only thing im missing is the clutch line that goes from the master to the slave cylinder, im not sure where to find one or what i can use as a replacement. The only thing i found was a s13 clutch line(steel braided) and im unsure if that will thread up if anyone has any info please let me know thank you.

You can bend your own hardline, its not to complicated.

This should get you on your way:

XenonZ31 Automatic to Manual Transmission Swap

I have done an auto to 5spd swap. Pretty straight forward. I was lucky enough to have a full parts car so it was pretty easy having all the parts available.

With that being said I have bent hard brakelines for vehicles in the past. Need a radius bending tool and something to flare.
