So I'm putting together some lines for my setup and I'm just trying to figure what size -an to use. As far as keeping enough oil pressure I'm not sure what size to go with. And you don't have to have banjo fittings for the block do you? I can just use a regular fitting with the right thread pitch. Just trying to clear some things up

I have notes left over from when I made mine, you can get all your parts from Earls Store One (or at least I did), they have great tech support if this is your first time assembling hose ends, etc.
Are you using an oem Nissan turbo? I only ask because I didn't and some details will be different with your application.

The oil line for a turbo is difficult to screw up b/c you're supposed to run a restrictor anyways. I'm sure most oil lines are -4 with a 0.030" restrictor for BB turbo's and a 0.060" restrictor for journal turbos. You don't HAVE to have a banjo fitting at the block, as the threads aren't tapered or anything, but I can't recall the size. Not sure on availability of those fittings either. I'm sure they're out there, just don't know where to tell ya to look (maybe Pegasus). As for the water lines, I would make them as large as you can relative to the ports on the water neck (s14SR) and block. Might be a -10.

here is ATP's listing for the GT3071 that I'm running, 3076 should be the same, scroll down to the bottom of the page and there will be a list of parts that are related to the install, I ordered everything I needed from ATP.
