 Gtr breather nut comming looseOk so Ive got new rig and everytime I run it the damn big plastic nut that holds the breather cover on backs off!! Whats the quick fix. When it gets loose it starts rattling and it's driving me nuts. I have cranked the shit out of it and it still vibrates loose! 35gtr. I dont want to be looking for my cover on the side of the road!!

Re: Gtr breather nut comming loose Drill a hole through both sides of the cover and zip tie them together would be an easy solution.

Re: Gtr breather nut comming loose No place to put a lock washer. The nut doesn't bottom out on anything. It the big plastic nut with a nut inserted into it that holds the plastic over on.

Re: Gtr breather nut comming loose Use some LocTite on it.
I see you're in LC, you should head over here to Port Neches Saturday & see what that motor can do. _________________ 1846 GTB & 35 GTR Team Gator-Tail Killer Kallz & ANGLE PORT dealer (409) 720-8949 |

Re: Gtr breather nut comming loose After loosing the first one on my Pro Drive I over tightened the next one. Then the stud broke and I lost the bracket, filter and cover. Now I have a 6 in. piece of duct tape taped over the nut and it can't turn. Working great so far, cheap and quick too.

Re: Gtr breather nut comming loose Wow, First off if you tighten it to tight it will snap the bolt and you will loose everything but the main backing plate like mentioned above. The simplest thing is tighten it up moderately. Then drill a 1/8 hole through the nut into the cover and install a 3/16 wood screw. If the cover still rattles take a small amount of grease and coat the edges of the metal backing plate and Chase the inside of outer lip of the black plastic cover with a small amount of clear silicone. Install and let cure. Done deal!
