Hey guys

Just trying to get a bit of an idea on what suppliers/companys people can recommend when it comes to buying their choice of brand when it comes to quality fittings for breather hoses and other misc bits.

There appears to be a wealth of different suppliers and brand names out there. Just interested to know peoples opinions and dealings. Who do you recommend?

Also what size hose/fittings should be used for general breather setups (i.e to catch can and back into intake. etc)

Reason being I have previously used 1/2 braided line for my catch can and after looking in a russell brochure at Autobarn it appears to be a fairly uncommon size in terms of fitting availability.

Cheers. Luke

depends on what you want to spend......but speedflow are the better quality fitting.

Motorsport connections or Hardimans as well as revolution race gear can supply.

Breather cans usually require -10an or -12an fittings and hose.

Rocket industries carry earls, and are a good cheaper alternative and in most cases will do the job.

Hey guys. To save opening a new thread I might as well update this.

I have the fittings I need. Just wondering if anyone has any tips to getting the braided line to actually fit inside the red nut on the fittings. So close to getting it but there must be an easier way!!! Any ideas what I could use to compress the pipe enough to slip it through.

Cheers. Luke

Bump guys.

Any installation tips at all? These are driving me insane. Managed to get the hose in the red ring using rubber bands to compress the hose. But whilst doing it up, the nut would tighten but just push the hose out instead of locking it in place.

Any help would be great.

The method I use is; tape the hose where it is to cut, lock it in a vice and cut using a dremmel, clean the hose with compressed air, feed the start of the hose into the end, turn the fitting up-side down and bang on a soft cloth on a hard surface unitl is seats correctly, put the fitting into a vice with a cloth around it to protect the finish, apply some thread lubricant and attach the other half.

Check out the earls website/catalogue and there is an installation guide.

If anyone needs Earls products let me know as I can offer your 35% off RRP ;)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
