What do people think of these?

I made up a few for a friend of mine, and it lets you put AN fittings for the breather and cleans up the engine bay a little. (i personally think its better than the current standard fitting)

Also i know this is not a Skyline engine, though i thought that i will put it up. Just shows how people fabricate their engines....

not bad for a commodore 8 :P

push in inserts are nice, saves welding and less permanent - what they worth each? since a weld on is about $7

About 50.00 a pair.

You need to bare in mind that the weld on ones are produced by the thousands and maybe in china too.

i understand the costing factor of low production items, add that to the $100 is AN fittings and shes up there. very nice work though and design looks good.

is it designed for a compliance fit?

The fit is tight. The pic you see is the first design. I made them now with a little lead in so that they are easier to fit or push in. These have only been put on a rb26 rocker cover so far, i am not sure if the rb20/25 is a little different in size?

But that makes really no difference as i can make them to any size..

I know that AN fittings are expensive but they do look good and do the trick...

Is there an easy way of removing the breather stock fittings?

I stuck a screw driver in mine and turned the breather side to side while lifting up. Popped out on seconds.

Karl if you can make them for a 25 im in.

I have made up a few for a 20 and a 25...

Will soon have a new oil pump done... with different profile to others for more flow and also a different drive mechanism to reduce the weak point thats in the current drive mechanism...

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
