Thanks a lot.

hiya Lee i hope all is well i aint seen you for a while, try asking Dan (DTA) he does quite a bit of the braided stuff, worth a try.

I had already spoke to Smithy earlier. Then Ceejay, Then someone else. then mike @ MJP who can get them but would need to be made up as apparently SE Nissan use to have em

I got mine from z1 worth a try;)

ooooooooo 16g's let me know how the car runs with these please.

So does no 1 over here do them?

Z1 or Specialty Z do them.

Cant you get a local hose/hydralic company to make them up my local one will do anything, had braided clutch/brake/and oil feed pipes made up before and there cheaper,:)

the oil pipes don't always work on our cars due to the LHD/RHD issue. You're best off measuring the length and asking a local company to fab them with the correct couplings

Ive PM'd Nend too. I can get them made up but I need to wait for Duffer to drop the old tubo's and pipes off at Phil's

You don't need the old turbos mate, just the old lines from your zed or anyone elses will do. They can be posted to you and with you in 36 hours!

Or because the US are 8 hrs ish behind us, you can order from there now and they should be here Friday PM or Saturday morning, monday at the latest.

The old lines are with the turbo's though mate :(

What can be posted to me within 36hours?

I think you need to be aware that the oil feed pipe requirements are different between turbos. I am not familiar with the type you have but those fitted with with bush type bearings as opposed to roller/ball type bearings require different oil supply needs. Apparently ball/roller bearing turbos require less oil supplied and will smoke if too much is provided. Speak to your turbo supplier about the requirement.

Yes but you ONLY need the lines and not the turbo's. Lines oon next day service would be what 6 quid, with turbos and packaging, small fortune lol

You only need the lines to help with length and thread fitting for the back of the block. If your tubs are rollerbearing though, a restrictor needs to be fitted in the line.

well i won't need them sending anyway as andy has the ones off my car and needs to drop them off at phils because until he does he is holding my build up and he doesn't even have the car now lol

:headvswal cor blimey.. If andy just sends in the post today to Phils place the lines as thats the quickest and easiest thing to do, oh and the cheapest Phil wil have them by 9am tomorow morning, he works out ( which he's done before) what's what and sends them to BSR who make such things and hey presto around Tuesday-ish some new oil feeds :bow:

The problem is getting in touch with Andy. He also still has the dipstick. Then there's the problem that the parts are at leyland (andy's house) and Andy will be at Saz's house. Andy had said there wasn't room to get them in the car but since ive been to see it with the bits in im sure there would have been space to get them in.

I will be trying to call Andy today to see whats going on as I don't want him holding up the build. I don't think he's done it on purpose

I got 'hose solutions' to make mine up for me (18g turbos), and now i'm worried abit about smaller diameter !
