mate Enzed etc is your friend. i used teflon braided -4 lines with plenty of heat unsulation and 200 series fittings, but only because mine is an RB30 block and the stock lines don't work well. stick with the hard lines if you can, less stuffing around, $ and no problems with heat in the long run. i would've if i could've.

Most people stick with factory lines as they are by FAR the best for the purpose.

Its going to be $$$ and a pain to get fittings down there when there is factory stuff that bolts on and can resist the heat

is that -4 for both oil and water?

from the ones i've seen its been -4 oil and -6 water :down:

braided lines rock, ive got a braided line to my turbo, and my water lines have been chopped, expanded and had hoses clamped to them. as long as theyre properly insulated theyre great.

mine have made pulling the turbo out a 45min job and installing a 1hr job. the worst thing EVER is trying to get the standard water and oil lines to line up when going back on.

take it to pirtek and ask them for the lengths you need, and the fittings (i reccomend just going from the banjos if possible). then take the fittings and hose home and dummy fit to get the angles you need on the banjos, then mark them or tape them up. go back to pirtek and get them swaged on and your done. saves swivel joints and removes one more thing to go wrong.

also, be aware that while pirtek guys are really switched on, they may or may not have heard of earl's fittings etc, which is why its easier to go from the banjo.

cost a bit but you will never have a problem again.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
