It looks like they are still attached to the sandwhich plate so i'll wait until i tear it all apart and get a better look at the lines before i officially say its a bad line. Yes it is the standered gtm oil cooler kit. the lines were super long and there was lots of slack so i'm hoping one of the fittings came loose at the plate or something but i know i tightened them well off to work maybe i'll update in 12hours after i get home.
That's 2 down for the GTM cooler. I'm suspecting they have a hose supplier issue. One may be a coincidence, 2 is a pattern. Stainless socketed hoses SHOULD NOT come apart when assembled correctly. Even Car and driver reported this month that their "Dealer Installed" Nissan Motorsports cooler blew it's fittings. Personally I wouldn't trust any hoses that I didn't put together myself... Keep us posted!
