I'm definitely interested to see what they send you. I didn't know about that whole kit and bought just the hose and the oil pan pipe a couple of weeks ago. Just those two parts cost me around $70.
im not sure, i just saw it and thought it sounded like it might be worth a try. i called them today and it should ship friday so ill have it sat. or mon. ill post pictures when it comes in and then after i install it.
My brother and I did a TD04 swap on his NG, the oil return pipe made for a wicked close fit. We had to cut off some of the end and it looks really weird. It doesn't leak a whole lot, maybe just enough to cover it, but there was about a 1/2 inch to about 1/4 inch of space between the oil return on the engine and turbo.
It works, but I want to know how every one else did it. We also tried to use the return pipe that fit into the oil pan, but it was too small.

I used the factory oil pan fitting and hose for the TD04 and a TD04 drain fitting I got on eBay, held together with two lined hose clamps (the type that won't cut silicone hose). They all fit together fine and hasn't leaked a drop in over a month. It's much better than the hose-in-a-hose setup I had before.
No, it's cheaper to buy the entire oil drain assembly from eEuroparts. It's considerably more expensive to just buy the hose and oil pan fitting, but I didn't know about the whole kit at the time.
Is the oil pan fitting different on a OG93 then it is on an NG? The oil pan drain pipe that came with my brothers TD04 (out of an 03 93SE) was like too small and would almost fall back into the oil pan.
Yes it is. The one on the NG900 is much bigger. It uses a straight tube with a ridge in the middle, but the one for the 9-3 and 9-5 tapers down to about 5/8" in diameter. They're completely interchangeable, though.
i wouldnt see they they would make a new one just for that.
