I also had a heap of trouble finding the correct size. I foolishly didn't write it down when i found the right fitting. I think it is 12x1.0mm but i'm not 100% on that. It must also have an inverted flare. Best bet is to get one from here....

Water fittings are 14x1.5mm as you mentioned.

search back about 6-8 months ago, r31nismoid (im pretty sure) gave the same answer to someone else who had a similar question regarding the oil feed, i recall that he's one at least had a built in reistricitor so it didnt need an inline one, best do a search as i cant remember exactly

I got mine from Earls and don't quote me but I think it was an imperial 7/16 x 24 TPI inverted flare . It is critical to use that flare as the conical insert in the top of the housing locates the bearing pack . BB turbos need less oil than bush type (annular contact ball bearings have much less contact area) and if you dont restrict it the excess oil causes drag and oil seal leakage problems .

Thanks

I rang horsepowerinabox.com. He deals the garrett BB GT range and sells everything to go with them and so I trust his reply. He mentioned that the GT series do have an internal restrictor and so you dont need a fitting with a restrictor. You DO NEED however the reverse flare.

Thanks

Please, if you run a BB GT series turbo, tell me if you run this restrictor please as I want to do the right thing. Ill contact horsepowerinabox 2mrw anyways.

Cheers

yes, no restrictor required.

There is an internal .7mm restrictor on the turbo cartridge itself.

Just make sure you get the flared end so that it mates to the turbo.

Or just get a speed-flo fitting from your local fittings ship (puprle pig/enzed/ HIS Hose)

they come ready to go, only cost a few dollars and just screw in

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
