2eighTZ4me Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Looking for the sandwich adapter that screws on to the oil filter nipple that has the output for the oil feed line going to the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2eighTZ4me Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Heck - I don't know what they're actually going for on the open market. $15 and I pay shipping? You can lambaste me for lowballing, but I've never bought one before, nor have I seen them selling as a "hot commodity". Let me know what you think.

Challenger Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ah well Ive seen them go for $50 several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ah well Ive seen them go for $50 several times. Good one Derek. Not to discurage you from buying this from Derek, but if you are wanting to run a braided line or an AN fitting for your oil supply, I would go down to a local hydrolics supply company and get a fitting that is compatible with AN fittings. I know from experiance that little inverted flare in the block will keep you from using AN's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah If you want it for $15 I dont care, just let me know a shipped price. It really doesnt matter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eighTZ4me Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well - I DO want to run a braided line, but need someplace to tap off of. Thought this would be the solution, but perhaps not. I went on EBay and they had a kit with the braided line and sandwich plate, but the sandwich plate didn't fit the Nissan oil filter threads. He didn't have one that did either. Any suggestions? Was thinking about tapping off a line going to a remote oil filter, but was told I need a restrictor so as not to flood the turbo with oil. Corn-fused at this point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey man, once again, I was in your shoes with this problem this summer You should get on the AIM train so we can chat it up about the swap. These part numbers aren't complete, but it'll give you a good starting point. TrumpetRhapsody and I are both running this and haven't had any issues whatsoever, and the stock oil sending unit on the 280Z thread right into the 1/8 NPT Fitting. From my thread [shameless plug ] http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=153195 * Oil Feed Lines - You can use the stock L28ET lines and distro block - the "T-Fitting" [This is the easiest route] but I got stainless steel lines for my car. You will need a T-Fitting at the Oil sending unit to get oil for the Turbo. I used these parts from Pegasusautoracing.com [THANK YOU CHRIS a.k.a TRUMPET RHAPSODY for the part numbers!!]: - A 1/8 NPT Female T-Fitting http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro....asp?RecID=895 - A 1/8 NPT Male Fitting to 1/8 BSPT Male fitting to connect the T Fitting to the stock hole for the oil sender http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro...s.asp?RecID=56 - A 1/8 NPT Male Fitting to 4AN Male fitting to connect the T Block to the 4AN SS lines. http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro...p?Product=3208 - I got the 4AN stainless steel "44 inch Size 4 TFE Hose, Straight Swivel to 90 degree Swivel" http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro....asp?Product=4 - 1/8 BSPT Male fitting to 4AN Male fitting. [The Banjo bolt is a 1/8 BSPT] This is to connect the 4An SS Line to the turbo, I used a restrictor plate and haven't tried this myself. -------- A word of caution - in that thread there was some confusion whether or not the Banjo bolt is a 1/8 BSPT or not, definitely confirm that before ordering. I had a special restrictor piece that already had a 4AN fitting on it. I actually brought my extra S130 T3 down with me, I need to go confirm that the bolt is BSPT. Also if you're having trouble finding gaskets for the T3 I include in that write-up where to get a full kit for $8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey man, I thought you were talking about the oil feed spot off between the block and oil pressure sender. I now realized what you are talking about. If you want to run braided AN lines off that for an oil cooler, I used these banjo lines from this site http://www.unisteer.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=UNISTEER&Product_Code=8021570&Category_Code= They are 18mm banjo fittings with -6AN fittings. I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I thought you were talking about the oil feed spot off between the block and oil pressure sender. Ahh, I thought he was talking about the T-Fitting as well. But he did say oil feed line for the turbo?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You know the vw sandwich plates will fit our L's. They're pretty cheap, and my vw guy ordered 1 and they sent him 3 or 4, for the price of 1. I can probably get him to let me have one for next to nothing, call me and remind me. Happy Thanksgiving; I feel fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eighTZ4me Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks for all the replies guys. I bought a 36" braided setup off EBay for $22, has the line, and the adapter with a 4AN fitting that has the restrictor in it, as well as a 1/8" NPT quad junction, I should be able to pull right off the oil pressure sending unit hole and hook up the sending unit to the junction. Problem solved! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
