i remember reading a few post about how the oil return line was a nissan part. I do not remember reading if anybody figured out what part it was. i think i figured out which nissan part it was.





top one is the stock crank case ventallation hose on the 4th gen maxima.

bottom is the oil return line that i ordered from stillen a few weeks ago.

i stumble across a box full of stock parts while cleaning my garage this weekend. i matched the two part side by side and this is what i found.
the oil return line cost me $27 dollars i believe retail on the hose is closer to $35 or so. something like this sould cost around $12 dollars at nissan. maybe even less.

what do you guys think???

sorry if this is a repost.

 

You can go to a hardware store and make and cut one to lenght for 5 dollars. It just won't be stiff like those hoses.

 

you cannot just cut it from bulk hose cause without the preshape...it will bind...you dont think we may have tried that already?...Frank if you find a good price...lemme know...I want to get a new one...

 

nissan part number is

11823-31U00

 

Back from the dead!

Can anyone confirm that the SC return hose is the same as the nissan crankcase vent hose? I think mine is leaking.

 

Yep. My hose had recently cracked and a new part was ridiculously priced at the stealership. I looked through my left-over parts box from the SC install and used that hose. It works perfectly!

Sorry to bring this back up, but I just wanted to post my experience with this.

I just tried using this today and it did not fit well. The inner hose diameter is too large and too loose when hooked up. I ended up using a nissan power steering hose (like the ones removed to do the power steering lines relocation). It's a tight fit, but I'd rather have a tight fit than for it to slowly drip oil.

 

well if your using a old crank case breather hose they do thend to stretch a bit and the heat makes the hoses harden thats probably why it did not fit. I used that hose and had absolutly no problems.

blackcat you are telling me that you are willing to spend $2000 + on supercharging you maximas but you are to cheap to spend $20 on an oil return hose????? are you kidding me!?!??!?!

 

I bought a NEW one from nissan when I first installed my blower and it needed to be cut a bit. I put it "as is" and it was crimping it was too long. I but a bit off at a time till it was perfect

Ohh okay maybe that's why. I was trying to use my old/original crankcase breather hose. Now that you mention it, the hose did feel really stiff to the touch.

 

jdmmax, I have no idea why you even had to comment on this when the problem has been resolved back in June.
