G'day everyone,
I,ve got stocko breathers in my 94" Hilux and want to extend them. What is the best way to do it?
I've seen a kit on the snake racing website for $77, does anyone know if they screw into the diff housing and if they are worth it (just the kit I mean)?
All help is greatly appreciated.

Just unscrew the factory breather take it two enzed or pirtek or some hose joint get a pipe fitting with the same thread and then buy some hose to put onto it.

The fitting in the diffs is a metric one but 1/8 BSP fits perfectly.
Just go to anywhere that sells air fittings and get a barb hose tail and some fuel hose.
Chuck a cheapo in line fuel filter on the end of the hose to stop crap getting in.
Too easy.

4 fittings, tube for the extensions and it will retain your original breather caps (but can get different ones if needed).

I recently picked a set up from superior eng. was about $45 a diff. might of been cheaper to track down the olive and nuts, 1/4" semi-rigid tube and breathers myself but its nice to just get it all in the one place.

cheers, Justin

Nissan Part # 38323-C6010 will screw straight into 8" and 7.5" toyota hilux diffs. Should be less than $10 each. You might have to bend the front one a bit if your truck is IFS. 30 feet or less of fuel line will allow you to run both breathers up to the firewall. I stuck some foam engine breathers on the end instead of the stock breathers. If you want to re-use the stock breathers on the end you'll have to get some adapters cos the ID of the fuel line that fits the Nissan hose barbs is too small to fit on the stock Toyota breathers.
