Yeah, plenty of 5/16 oil hose around, but bugger all 1" hose and no adapters for 1" to 5/16", believe me I looked for 2 days, everywhere including Bunnings, Supercheap and Pirtek. Bathurst isn't the best place for car parts unfortunately.

You can buid up an adaptor with brass fittings from Pirtex, i mad a "T" with 2 x 5/8" and 1x 3/8" just spend some time looking at the fittings they stock and you will figure something out.Quote:

No wonder Mr Nissan don't make them any more and they have gone up in value. My troll's gunna be in my will. I'm never getting rid of it!
Can't blame you for wanting to keep the 4.2 forever... maybe I should take the 4.2 out of my GQ and put it in my new one :) lol
Yeah I was a bit wary with that but I have used just the cheapest heater hose and its been on for about 8 months and its still like new. But I think I'm gonna have to look up the CH1300 hose and try that, to get rid of the adaptor I made.Quote:

I just have to find another hose with the same size end of the provent and to fit the 1/2inch end at the motor and I'll be sweet. As there is two different sized ends on my ZD30. 1/2inch on the motor and 5/8 on the air intake.
You might find that the CH1300 will do for both mate. It's soft enough to clamp down on the 1/2" and stretch on to the 5/8". The flared 22mm end is a perfect fit on the Provent, a bit of soapy water gets it on nice and easy then clamped.
Mudski and Lonicus, depends how much blow by the motor has to how quickly it eats the hose coz it could last years, months or days.
Mudski take the hose off and feel the inside of it and have a look aswell if the inner skin has separated.
Yeah no separation mate. I check it every service. Off topic, one thing I have noticed is since switching from Castrol Magnatec Diesel to Dello 400 I have used 400ml of oil in 3000k's. Looks like I'll be going back to the old faithful.Quote:
