The turbo that i am running is off a late 80's single turbo 300zx, a t3. the oil feed on this thing is slightly bigger than the standard 1/8th npt for a t3. i do have the original feed fitting, but the problem is that the turbo uses a brake line type feed (the fitting on a metal tube with a flare to prevent fitting from falling off). also, the other end is a banjo bolt. so, i bought a 5 inch brake line with a 1/8th fitting and some other misc. fitting. i then cut one flare to get the useless fitting off to put the 300zx feed fitting with the 1/8th and flared the end. on the turbo, the turbo feed line is working. the probem is where i connect the 1/8th brake line to the 1/8th stainless steel line. theres some movement, and all the oil drains out of the 1/8th brake fitting. if i put a collet in between the brake fitting and the stainless, would it correct the problem? the only problem i see in that is the chance of the solid part of the collet blocking the hole completely. my other idea is to use a pretty strong spring the make the flare fitting always flush with the flare.

p.s. if there are people that are currently running the single turbo 300zx turbo, what did you do to correct the problem? i know of at least 2 or 3 people using this turbo, just forgot their h-t names. i've been running around for 4 days now trying to get some sort of adaptor and no luck, so i had to ghetto rig the adaptor. thanks.
