Where are you guys sourcing turbo fittings from, the local Enzed what rediculous dollars for what seem to be basic fittings.

I need a 4AN to 14mm banjo and a 4AN to 14mm straight through.

Are there any cheap places online besides eBay?

I should clarify, i don't mean Clints Crazy Bargains fittings, i just mean an alternate source to Pirtek/Enzed locally who seem to want to charge a bunch.

All I'm doing is a fitting a bigger turbo a track based S13 with a CA in it, it's budget racing :D

I got some -AN adapters from G J Drivelines, good price easy transaction via email, tell him what you need and he'll help you out...

cheapest price I found on earl's adapters too...

I bought my teflon lines and fittings from TORQUES an ebay seller in the UK, very good prices and better quality than the Proflow gear I bought locally. No issues with them so far after 6 odd months running eflex.

go to any decent industrial hydraulics supplier. (yellow pages is your friend) forget calling them AN as they will look at you with a blank look. tell them you want JIC fittings like every 1 else does except car part suppliers.

I use all Eaton (which is the industrial brand of Aeroquip) fittings on my car there cheaper & heavier duty, but they don't come in pretty colours.

If using a Garrett small frame BB turbo re use the banjos from the std T25 based turbo . Most of the hydraulics suppliers sell -4 AN weld on fittings , you drill them to suit the std shortened steel banjo tube and braze them on . Simple and looks factory because the banjos are . You'll find they are the most compact too and compact is good with turbo fittings .

I just came across SpeedflowDirect. They have by far the best prices I've come across for Speedflow gear (unfortunately I recently purchased my items :rant: ). I just received an email from Andy there they are located in Adelaide but freight won't be much for fittings and a bit of hose. They guys name is Andy.

If anyone is in Melbourne, MSCN have 'opened' up a store which is now part of Meridian Motorsport in the same location in Moorabbin/Cheltenham.

I missed out on the good pricing but hopefully this might help someone else :)

As urtwhistle mentioned, for simple Metric to AN adaptors, ie for RB block water fittings, you could try hydraulic distributors, ie Hardy Spicer, Hydraulink, Soutcott, Enzed & Pirtek etc. They will refer to them as Metric to JIC fittings. AN is only really used in the Auto industry as far as I can tell.

While I'm at it I figured I'd add the items I was getting for my GT-RS (GT2871R) turbo water lines..

WATER HOSE

-6 HOSE (200 Series, TEFLON) [200-06]

For 1 Turbo end..

14.5mm BANJO to -6AN [720-06]

BANJO BOLT (M14 x 1.5) [725-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN 45 DEG (200 Series) [202-06-D]

For other Turbo end..

14.5mm BANJO to -6AN [720-06]

BANJO BOLT (M14 x 1.5) [725-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN Straight (200 Series) [201-06-D]

For Block water outlet.

M14 x 1.5 to -6AN metric adaptor [732-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN 90 DEG (200 Series) [203-06-D] - For Block end

I didn't get the Oil fittings (came with turbo) but below looks to be what is required.

OIL HOSE

-4 HOSE (200 Series, TEFLON) [200-04]

Block end - Oil outlet.

M12 x 1.25 to -4AN [358-04], possibly [730-04]

-4 HOSE to -4AN Straight (200 Series) [201-04-D or 201-04]

Turbo End

7/16" Eye Banjo to -4AN [311-04]

7/16" Banjo Bolt [300-04]

-4 HOSE to -4AN 90 deg (200 Series) [203-04-D or 203-04]

You may want to use slightly different combos depending on what your setup is so that is definitely not a one size fits all but should give a bit of an idea as to what sizes are required. I found it hard to find all this info in one place. I am going to use the exisitng oil drain parts but you could use a Turbocharger adaptor with some -10AN hose and fittings.

You can also do this cheaper with the SS hose with rubber lining but I went the teflon lined hose for added protection. I'm going even further and getting some black Insultherm sleeving from Thermo-Tec to further protect things.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
