I noticed the fuel line (the hard rubber one that is connected to the fuel damper) is starting to kink on my 08 Z. My local Nissan dealership tells me it would take two months to get a new one shipped.

A) Does anyone know where to source one of these that is in stock?

B) Is there some clever way to custom make a fuel line that would replace this piece? This would be the prefered option, as I could route a better path to prevent future kinks.

 

Get the proper fuel line say from nap. cut and flare it to the correct fitting and you should be good to go. why did it kink

 

Don't do this. It's flexible for a reason.

The diagram you posted, that I went on to find at courtesy parts, doesn't even have a part number/link to the actual hose. Can you get the actual part number for the hose from the dealer? If you had that, a bit of googling would probably lead to a more readily available source.

 

I read it wrong, sorry when I saw hardline. I thought metal.

 

It's 22675-EV10B

Called Z1 and they have none in stock and would have to order from the dealership as well. I'm surprised this part is so rare!

I suspect it kinked due to a poor metal fuel line re-routing (for turbo install)

 

Hi, have you looked in mynissanparts.com? I tried to find it but didn't have any luck, maybe you have better luck. Anyway I leave the link for the site, maybe you can call directly to them and ask.
Good luck...

Ok, bases on the part number you have the part name is DAMPER ASSY-FUE and in the page I told you before is $98.14, almost $40 less than the normal price from dealer. I leave the link...
