Ok so with 16K miles on the car this ******* stupid ass plastic oil return line coming off the intake decided to **** the bed. Why its ******* plastic i dont know. I think its been on and off a total of 3 times. Please help, i have no idea what to do. Im tuned so warranty work is out of the ??? cuz i have full bolt ons that i dont feel like taking off. Do i order a new intake?? i have a HAHN intake i can put back on but again need to be re-tuned for it.

is the hose rubber? if so get another fiting and tap into the plastic, get a fitting thats threaded and then with a barbed typed on the other end, that way you could tap it onto the intake and then hose clamp it to the rubber hose, just a thought, idk if its rubber or w.e

no its not rubber its braided stainless, no wonder why it ******* snapped it. Stainless steel vs molded plastic pushing and pulling, geez i wonder what will win??

yeah if u put a small hose clamp over it, you stick the hose OVER the barb fitting

how the **** is that an oil return line?

if you dont like the house barb idea, for reasons such as a post maf leak, then order a new one.

cost is like $38

ok so i fixed it. i got a pic of it and it looks factory. What i did was use a piece of small steele from a carburetor and used something called the West System Epoxy and then pressed it into the broken piece and pressed it into the intake piece almost like an inner sleeve. well see how it holds up.

yeah that's the pcv line, just do the barbed fitting thing, you can even get that quick connect x ips and just thread it into the hole. No big deal. I don't even run that back to the intake on the gt30r car, just put a filter on it.
