Re: hi would very much apreciate some help!!
Ya, somebody reply please! Turbo models were sold in the US, but I've never owned one so I don't know specifics on the engine oil lines.
It does sound like you are right about the lines being too hard. They shouldn't be too much money. Just buy fuel hoses for fuel injection. They can take any amount of oil pressure and are corrosion resistant against petrolium products.

Thanks Bleachzee! Finally a reply!
The lines for fuel injection ok sound like a good idea I´will look futher into that, but stil there could be a problem since the original lines have a barket( im not sure how to say it in´english!) anyway a metal screw so you´re able to install em´ into the sidewall on the enginebay! And the price of the original oil lines from Nissan motor company.. damn just got it today! Now I also thought it was nothing but the fact is ....250 US DOLLARS for a piece of rubber??!!!!!!!!!!! in Denmark anyway...hang on know thats only for the upper line the other one is out of production...I´m leaving...soon!!!!! Denmark is perfect country if you like bicycles not cars or anything with a motor !!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap batman, don't use FI hoses.. you'll pop them so fast, and you'll bleed your motor dry FAST!!
oil pressure in the lines can hit 300psi when the car is cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't want to replace them with stock stuff, then use Aeroquip lines.
That is what I use for my custom oil cooler.
And if you don't use areoquip fittings, at least have the steel lines barbed, and use 2 clamps min. (half assed way, but works)
ss braided hoses can take the pressure and temps also..Remember that turbo will hit 800 F.. and I imagine the oil will get pretty hot as well..

Thanks Scott! yeah I dont wanna bleed that engine again! A few days ago I lost ALL of the engine oil in seconds on a mainroad here in Denmark in the rush hour total chaos ! The Fire department came and deployed sand all over the road people were skidding all over the place( 2 bikes crashed!) I really wanted to hide my self at that moment! :-(!!! What a mess! Anyway I think I will go for aeroquip hoses looks nice...By the way what a great Z you have...and the modifications wow!
Thanks again
