Sr20det baffle plate below oil return tube - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Has anyone ran their Sr20det without this baffle plate located under the oil return tube in the back of the engine? If so, were any problems noticed? I realize that Nissan uses this plate to prevent oil from escaping from the return tube but I’ve lost mine and need to know if it’s absolutely necessary to have.

Ull be fine without it, but have that tube will have oil blowby in it. Either return it to valve cover or catch can

A soda can cut up would work here. If you have that line on a catch can, leave it out.
