I'm going to put the chevy MC on my truck this weekend but would like to know if I need to change any fittings for the lines.

Well to answer my own question. The fitting for the front brakes that goes to the new master cylinder does not fit, it's like a hotdog down a hall-way so you need to buy an adapter to reduce the size. I called a company that carries them and had it ordered, cost was around 11 dollars. Part info:
Reducer fitting (9/16"-18IF to a 3/16-24)
P/N 7911
Company that makes it:Weatherhead

Napa carries most Weatherhead items in stock in case you didn't know. Since Yotas use the same 10mm inverted flare fittings, you can duplicate the mc swap by following the guidlines they have been using. The only difference is the Yotas need a adapter plate to mate the Chevy mc to the firewall, and with nissans the bolt pattern is so close to the same, all that is needed is to hog out the mc mounting holes a bit.
