R32 Gtr Turbo Coolant And Oil Lines... Help!

[andygtr93]

HELP!!!

Does anyone know anywhere to get coolant and oil lines to and from the turbos for a R32GTR.

They were bent beyond repair upon removal and Im just wondering if I have to go through nissan or if there's somewhere else cheaper...

I figure that whilst Ive got the engine out it should be fixed right... just to save me doing it again

Well...

A number of the traders on this forum are wreckers, would be a good place to start?

Failing that, the yellow pages has a very large wrecker listing for australia/Jap imports etc if you actually have a look

[andygtr93]

Has anyone used hose fabricating places to make the coolant and oil lines to the turbos on a GTR?

I tried enzed and they said they couldn't do it but I get the impression he just didn't wanna do it. Anyone tried enzed or any preferred hose fabricators?

Im hoping to get braided teflon coated lines and was just wondering if anyone has any good places

[jeffworld2]

if you go to pirtek/enzed and ask, i think you could get out of it for around $2-300

or cheaper if you catch them on a good day.

nissan sell them too, usually in stock at hornsby nissan in sydney

[andygtr93]

Ok guys... please dont laugh, my wallet is in too much pain at the moment

enzed wouldn't touch it, another hose repairer we use at work wouldn't go anywhere near it.. and after some convincing, I finally got pirtek to make teflon coated braided hose for $850 for 4 coolant, and 2 oil hoses... it looks pretty cool, and all fits perfectly with the hks gt-ss and the dump pipes but OUCH...

I think the next upgrade to my gtr will probably require me to sell an organ, anyone know what a used kidney is worth? How about a liver?

[R31Nismoid]

[Travis Trayhern]

yeh just hit the search button there is a topic not that long ago about where to buy these lines and yeh uk ebay is the cheapest option

[Angus Smart]

I will check with my friend when i receive mine and get them made up if the price is right.

850 is crazy!

so very crazy unless they are using all earls fittings and braided hose etc like whats on Dirtgarages car. then 800 would seem about right..

[GTScotT]

well when you look at its its about 30ish x 8 for the fittings for the water and oil lines, then the lines are around 60 per meter depending on size, then there is any other fittings like bends and such, and if its all speedflow then the adapters for the thread to speedflow.

also, this guy can help with braided lines ect, GT MOTORSPORT, 17 yalgar road kirrawee (the dead end street like 3 factorys up from just jap), 02 95214389

I made my own out of speed flow, fitted up pretty damn easy when i put my turbos back on. Also with a bit of thinking its easy to route them safely with out going too near anything real hot.

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

@alex - how much did it cost to do your own roughly??

[GTR1993]

I used -6 for the coolant and -4 for oil lines.

I could price it again this is what i used from memory

from coolant block on motor

2 x -6 to m14x1.5 @14

2 x -6 14mm banjos (use std banjo bolts) @20

3 x -6 90 deg braided @ 35

3 x -6 straight braided @ 16

1 x -6 90 deg male male @20

Then the oil side

i think out the block on motor

2 x -4 m12x1.25 @ 15

1 x -4 straight braided @ 20

3 x -4 90 deg braided @ 60 (billet)

2 x -4 M12 banjo @ 20

prices are approximates, but would be close. Be approx 500-600, i was able to get wholesale through speed flow as i buy heaps of this stuff so was alot cheaper, the 60 retail billet -4 goes to 35 wholesale.

Only think you need to check is the metric threads as i cant remember if they are 12 10 14mm etc.

This is only the lines under the turbos, the other coolant lines that go over the turbos i left metal.
