The little formed section with a 45degree bend from the oil filter to the back of my valve cover. I dunno if the rwd ones have it all, but u folks should have at least the 3.4in piece that goes from RIGHT above the oil filter (I think drains into the filter actually) to a steel piece that goes elsewhere, right?

WHERE CAN I GET THIS?

no one local has anything THAT BIG that is oil resistant. i havent checked with nissan, but i know they basically stopped carrying ca crap. anyone know? please know what i mean and dont make me post a picture

Grainger has it. 3/4" farm fuel hose. They will ask you for a company name, just warning you. Tell them NICO.

advance will cut you a piece they sell it by the foot

I usually just go buy a couple of feet at at time at pepboys, as I always like to have back ups.

Sometimes a man has to step up and pay for a ton of it.

I needed M7x2.50" bolts to secure my crank trigger bracket to my oil pump assembly, but no one sold them so I had to buy 50. It cost a lot, but I got that bracket mounted!

Well, these bolts actually attached the oil pump. There was no way I was not going to have something in there, and I need longer ones to accommodate for the extra material they had to go through.

Boss, you find anything yet? I could actually do with some of this stuff too. Mine is shot.
