Try Rampage in Wickham.

I assume you only want the braided lines for the look of it - because there is no mechanical reason to use braided lines for this application.

Budget for $20-40 per fitting and $50/m for the hose. You will need at least 4 fittings, possibly 2 more depending on what fittings you have on the separator. You also have to think about how you are going to connect the hoses to the cam covers. To do it properly you need to thread the cam covers and screw in a nipple of weld on an AN fitting as shown in the second pic (add 2 more fittings).

Dude go to Pertek i done mine an dmy mates braided lines to our catch cans... It aint cheap tho dude... for 1.2m of braid fitted was $190, with the four weld on threaded fittins (2*rocker covers, 2*catch can = $26) plus the two 90 degree screw on fittings are $28 each for the rocker covers, $18 each for the straight fittings for the catch can... as i sad totalled $190. Once ya do that and then braid ya oild and water lines to the turbo and a few others it gets very exspensive, ya better off jsut using a colored silicon based tubing. Looks good and works. I have since taken my braid off the catch can and just run black silicon tubing and cops don't like the the braid, it makes it look to serious under the bonnet.

Cheers for all that guys, its good to get other perspectives. I might bar the autobarn option, if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it properly.

I just like the neatness of the braided lines, and in regards to police.... I have other illegal/defectable things on my car that are more expensive so it doesn't really bother me.

GTS4G> Problem isn't with other exspensive parts dude, cos usually they have no idea about mechanical stuff, its only things that stand out that catch their eye and defect. I have a big turbo, FMIC, filter, huge BOV everything and they said nothing, had no idea what it was when they popped the hood said yeah its all fine, except braided line he asked what it does and was iffy when i said its just looks, cos i didn't want to reveal its there to take the extra pressure its bearing. I had a Super AFC-II on the dash, three gauges up the pillar, boost switch with 'Boost' next to it, and they proceeded to defect me for my exhaust being to low to the ground as i sparked when i went over a bump :S Thats how smart they are.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
