    Hey gang, I've got a full flow oil cooler set up to install so that I can hit the track with less temperature stress. Looking at the oil filter tree I'm having trouble figuring out where I can fit the lines amongst the steering rack and other assorted oil/hydraulic lines so appealing for guidance from the kind and wise aus300zx community.

    (Can someone please tell me how to fit an oil take-off plate and lines?)

    This gives you idea where mine went... sorry, not a very good picture.

    From there the lines go behind the engine mount along the the chassis rail and beside the radiator to get to the cooler.

    Currently I have -10 SS braided hoses going the same route... it's tight but works.

    Thanks man, looks like you have more flexible hose than the stuff I have. My other thought is to make a good heat shield for the lines so I can run them up through the 'dead zone' near the turbine housing then with the intake piping to the front.

    Have you had any issues with the lines getting rubbed/pinched from things flexing or moving while driving?

    None that I have noticed.
