My 02 Xterra with C200B rear differential came with breather extension. As per the pic below, the fitting snapped off just beneath the tube clamp. Does anyone know what size fitting I need to get to replace it? I can't seem to find any information about size and thread in the factory service manual or on google searches.

Nissan fitting - Part No. 38323-C6010

Thanks for the part#. Much appreciated. Now I can go to the dealership and order one on Monday morning.

How/where did you find the part #? I feel bad having to bother people on the forum for info I should be able to find myself if I knew the best sources to search.

Thanks again!

Changed mine. Not hard.

I don't remember, it's been a long time ago but i just remember to search my posts for the PN, haha. I actually ordered one a few months ago for the axle of the trailer, heh.

They actually had those in stock at my dealer!

Milton had one in stock when I went to get it. Must be common enough problem.

I wonder if the hose was still good on the trailer...Bender added a long one on it years ago

I don't remember there being a hose, but it was rusted and in pretty bad shape. I was worried it was rusted in but came out easilly.

The older hardbody pickups used the breather with the barb connected to a hose. At some point Nissan changed to a wobble breather like on a pressure cooker. They don't do anything to keep the water out.
We keep them in stock. They are both identical thread. It's a pipe thread, so if your local dealer doesn't have one, you might be able to make something work.

If it's a pipe thread then any brass hose barb from home depot ought to work I'd think. Just match the thread and the hose ID.

I tried to make a pipe thread one work but it is some weird style. The thread was the same as npt I think but the taper was different so it would not sit flush.

It was probably a BSPT thread then. If so, you need something like this: http://www.mcmaster.com/#4860k141/=12xfgxq to adapt it to NPT then you could get whatever NPT fitting you wanted.

I remember reading somewhere that the diff breather fitting WAS a funny taper, and what you needed to get to replace it. Don't remember where. Perhaps the dreaded *gulp* clubxterra.org... Maybe Xterranation, which would be much more betterer

Uh oh. I hope Geoffrey doesn't see this. Betterer!

Betterer is the bestest!

The Nissan part is readily available from the dealer and cheap. Just order it and pick it up the next day.

I agree, not worth the hassle to look elsewhere

I've never tried anything other than the Nissan one.
