here is what I have seen....
The banjo bolt is on the rear end of the primary fuel rail--opposite side from the pulsation damper(pd). What you do is get an extra primary fuel rail, remove the bolt from the rear of it, remove your pd(need two wrenches--one to hold as a backup and one to turn it loose), and then install the banjo bolt in the pd's place. Simple, and as long as you can get the bolt, only should take a couple minutes. HOWEVER, there are different opinions as to whether or not this is a safe thing to do for the long term. I am looking at getting one now just as a short-term myself, since a new pd is around $130 and I can hopefully get the banjo bolt for like $5. But thats all there is to it

As this is a Jap import, the PD is actually on the secondary rail, not the primary.

That sure makes it easy to replace!

so is it the same thread pitch as a-spec? if so you need a 12x1.25 you remove the pd and the bolt goes where the pd was. the reason this works so well is becouse the pd is a banjo bolt just a leaky banjo bolt...

Thanks for your help.Going to work on it tomorrow. As for the last message, i have actually done as search, and yes there are LOTS (over 50) threads on this topic, however I needed a "quote: "step by step instruction" which is NOT in any of the other threads. So a big THANK YOU to those who realised this and responded.

so i understand that the banjo bolt is unsafe and that you should just replace the PD instead...but when should you replace it? i mean...i dont want to wait till my car catches on fire to know i should replace it, so when is a good time to replace it as a safety measure?

It is recommended that the PD (no matter what series- 3-4-5-6) is replaced every 100K miles or 10 years which ever comes first.

It's just a bolt. I'm sure you can do a search to find it. With it you aren't replacing the PD, you're just blocking it off and there's nothing left to smooth out the fuel system pulses. With a new PD lasting 100k miles, just do it the right way and replace the PD. OTOH a bolt is better than a leaky PD and an engine fire, so regardless of your decision please do something soon.
