Hey all, changed over spark plugs today and when it came time to put all the pipes and whatnot back on, i split the shitty old pipe next to the oil fil point (the c shaped pipe)

it was rock solid and brittle as hell when i put it back on, so i ended up running down to a enzed mobile rep's place and just got a generic hydraulic piece of hose - of similar diameter to fill in the gap.

is that all good? or does it need to be something more specific?

also, because the new pipe doesnt have the 2 90 degree bends in it, it sits out a bit more than that original (resting against the oil cap) will this be a problem? (ie. rubbing & eventually wearing through)?

Cheers

hey man it shouldn't be a problem! but if your like me and really picky you'll want a genuine nissan one. I got one just recently for around $40 and couldn't believe how soft it was compared to the old hose.

Nat there press fit but not hard to get out and knock back in. i just did mine on Wednesday when i put my new cam covers on. just got a big screw driver, stuck it in the end and turned them to loosen them so you could probably just do that to turn them and maybe give them a tap down when there in the right spot

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
