for the engine oil breather pipe you loose when you junk the standard air box
by looking at http://www.alanarnold.co.uk/images/emsk11/DSCF0072(m).JPG Ems, you dont have anything connected to it :s . I however may be looking at the wrong thing! Not a good photo

keep the cold air pipe or get a bigger one cuz otherwise the filter will only get hot air

Ems, you've got a K&N like me, the induction kit has a pipe on the bottom of it which goes to the oil breather.
The K&N supplies air 2 both the throttle body and oil breather so no need to worry yourself.
I passed an emmisions test with K&N and a really dodgy engine which was running awfully. No problemo!!!!!
Any changes to the engine can change the emissions, but a k&n will do between nothing and barely noticable to the emmisions!!
No it doesnt. The breather filter is used to stop the air filter clogging up with oil, and isnt related to exhaust emissions in any way.

The filter doesn't supply air to the breather, it works the opposite way round! The standard air box filter usually captures oil through the breather pipe, some say lubricates the inside of the throttle body or carb. By removing the normal filter & pipework, you need a breather filter to capture the oil that comes out (if any).
Ems, i'd check your pipe and see if anything's on the end of it.

I'm pretty sure my breather connects back to the K&N filter (under the filter) just like Ollie said his does.

That came with the K&N, I think they know what they're doing. The reason the green cotton one didn't is probably because it wasn't a full induction kit, in fact in the pic of Ems' that large rubbery looking hose is exactly the same hose as links my breather to the K&N, and I bet it's plugged into the breather.
It's essentially plugged in exactly where it would be on the std airbox - after the filter.

iam sure oil doesnt come out of it anyways, if it does its not a large ammount!
Arnold i'm sure they designed it so it wouldn't clog up
Im not saying it clogs the whole thing up, or anything internal for that matter, it just means it'l need cleaning more frequently than if the oil went elsewhere!
Why you'd deliberatly want oil going into your K&N just doesnt make any sense to me, that's why breather filters exist.

It doesn't go into the filter!
Therefore when you are actually moving, the air pressure of the air coming into the filter would force the oil (if there actually is any) downwards into the TB, not up!James said:
Ok, maybe im not too sure where it goes on the K11 engine! On the K10, its directly into the filter.

Nissan!!! Are you mad?! You'll be robbed!!
E-bay, here Zane comes!
Nah can't find one that fits a standard airbox on there, all I can find are straight to air ones, which I don't want!
Oh arnold, on k11 the breather goes into the airbox, up stream of the main filter iirc, with its own small filter
Ps, if anyone knows an internet source of standard PCV breather filters let us know would you?
