Mine got tweaked when doing my headgasket, and nwo i need a new one. it leaks pretty good, dripping on my exuast and smokeing like a whore.

Im about to get one of the ebay sets with all braided lines, since they are easier to install then with the metal lines.

thx!

okay, i had no luck with the EBay ones.. they are all for GT25s i guess. I noticed the CA does not have a banjo bolt to the block... what is with the oil feed line?

Does anyone know where i can get one made and sent to me? i really need this line asap... I know one place that im talking to, but they dont do work with CA's so they are having a tough time understanding the setup. They are mostly a SR20 shop so... yeah?

please please!and yes, i did search. most ppl just talk about what a pain in the arse these lines are to replace.

Sadly I dont have a vise. Im gonna try to get something made up with a lil help from the techs i work with tomarrow. The sooner the oil stops leaking the sooner i can take my pulsar out and start tuning and breaking her back in.If i cant get anything made up, i'll still be looking

Braided steel, or rubber line would be TONS better then trying to make another stock-like metal line.

How is that? The connectors are 90% of the cost. Unless you get some cheap fittings...
