Got stuck doing a brembo conversion and need your help please

Hey all, I have an 06 g coupe, and I just bought a set of brembo calipers/rotors/pads from a guy who had them on a 350z. The brembo calipers bolted up the the front with no problems, and bolted to the rears fine except I had to trim the dust shields.

The problem is, when re attempting to use my stock brake lines, the bolt and attaches the hose to the caliper is too long which is where I'm currently stuck. So my question is tomorrow morning when I go to Infiniti/Nissan, do I simply need new bolts for brembo brakes, or do I need new lines and bolts?

I know this doesn't answer your question, but just wanted to let you know that you should definitely change/upgrade your brake lines. When I changed my OEM brakes to the brembo, I also replaced the brake lines with stainles steel line. I would defintely recommend replacing the OEM brake lines with some braided steel lines. Good luck.

Ideally I would've liked to do the same, but I need my car to drive to work by wednesday and need to have my car driveable by then so ordering parts online isn't an option at the moment so I either need to get the right lines from the stealership or just the bolts. Thanks for the advice though, I will upgrade to SS lines sooner or later but for now I need lines just to drive from A to B.

This is just a thought since you said you're only interested in getting from pt a to b for the time being. Is trimming the bolt down to size an option?

Well...didn't find an answer here so I just bought new SS lines from z1 motorsports which come with new banjo bolts. Thanks anyway for those of you who tried.
