Message And is ment to be used with AN fittings. 6AN is a nominal 3/8" ID in practice, the hose is normally 11/32". 4AN is a nominal 1/4" ID but is normally 7/32. The actual hose for the Z is 8mm ID which is slightly larger than 5/16", but smaller than 11/32".

6AN is the correct size for the Z fuel line, but I see no reason why you would want to use this hose unless you were also going to use the AN fittings that go with it. To do this you will need to:

1) weld male 6 AN bungs to the hard lines
2) Find a fuel filter with AN fittings or weld bungs to the Nissan fuel filter
3) make up the hoses with female 6AN hose ends
4) assemble and pressure test

making up the hoses is a skill, as it is difficult to get the hose and hose end to join properly. Expect at least 1 or two leakers on your first pass.
