Decent catch can hose?

[Arran]

Morning all

 

Fitted my oil catch tank before the ring trip but the hosing I had was not up to the task at all, you could hear the vacuum inside the hosing and as soon as you squeezed the hose it would stay closed. I reckon I need a stronger reinforced hose. What are you guys with catch tanks using?

 

Preferably id like blue hosing but could go clear if needed

 

Cheers

The breather hose if its not very rigid will collapse at idle as this is where there is the strongest vacuum, it will reduce with RPM.

Wonder if the samco stuff will do the trick if its like my intake hose from samco then I should be more than up to the job. Fuel hose is a good idea though

I bought Gates fuel/oil hose. Doesn't come in pretty colours but it's tough stuff.

I'm using fuel/oil line hose without issue.

Was looking at getting that oil catch can myself http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/small-oil-catch-tank-can-Nissan-Skyline-200sx-Silvia-R32-R33-R34-350z-370z-/151332294888?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item233c1b90e8

 

Is there any real benefit on a n/a 350z?

As Kyle has tastefully recommended, Earls, you may as well see said pic.

You may find this a useful read; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/58175-oil-catch-can-tested-and-proven/

 

Don't think it's massively beneficial on an n/a set up but it can't hurt. Graham (glrnet) has one on his n/a Zed so maybe ask him.
