you will not be able to use any type of s13 line unless it has been modified.

possibly 32gtst (with bigger calipers) you may be able to buy in a kit

but the s13 and what you need simply have different fittings - they're ok at the chassis rail side, but into the caliper there is not banjo fitting style (s13 type). they simply bolt into the caliper/line to caliper

i will get a pic for you of mine while it is off the car...

i got my 4-piston calipers off of my HCR32 Type-M and with the addition of S13 Braided lines and the parts i had i was able to fit the brakes to my A31 no problem. thats for the front only, the rear brakes go on fine with no problems.

just order the S13 braided line kit for the front and you will be fine. should be able to make it work with the parts you have.

ill take a pic of mine Wenesday...

from memory when i put r32gtst type m calipers on my a31 i didn't swap any lines at all nor did i use any adaptors or purchase any different fittings. from what i remember i just swapped the fittings from old and new calipers and cut the bolts from the banjo fittings a few mm shorter. hmm

i have not changed the brake booster as yet as the stock a31 is working fine with the 4 piston brakes, the lines were changed, what i did was that i used lines that had one male and one female fitting at the ends, and you would need 2 for each side. so far no problems and the brakes work real good. the only thing they are not steel braided lines they are the regular brake line so they are available in any parts place.

It will work, but the pedal will feel softer, and you will have to push it further. Also, I think you are required to upgrade it if you get your brake modifications mod-plated.

It's more of a personal preference, I prefer the more solid brake pedal.

My A31 had a BM38 master cylinder, I'm guessing it was 7/8" (14/16"). That combo with the R32 M-spec calipers, the brake pedal was actually getting all the way to the floor pan without locking the wheels.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
