Read the oil control thread. Beyond all the talk about restrictors and external drains, there is solid info on the best sort of closed circuit catch can system. Open catch cans and deactivated PCV is a shit idea.

Why is this?

Whats the issue with the PCV being blocked off?

Street legality = zero.

Fumey smells = the suck.

It not being hard to actually achieve a multi stage catch can with proper pcv functionality = enough of a reason to go to that amount of effort rather than cheaping out.

As long as it wont damage anything thats fine.

Only reason mines like that at the moment is because im such a cheap ass i havnt got a place to attach it into my intake

That said, ive never had Smells or Smoke coming from it.

yer its just my highmount set up doesnt have a spot on the intake pipe to add that third line

That's a weak reason.

You havee been asking about getting someone to fab a catch can.

Get them to add it to to the inlet pipe.

^ Cal ya show off :)

Had to be done lol. I dunno people seem to get mental about catch cans but mine works alright for a mild-medium setup lol. Plus I like my photo :)

and as above, I have a fitting welded onto my intake for the catch can. The bungs can be bought easy as, theres no problem at all sourcing them. It would cost bugger all to have it welded on. If he is making a catch can I dare say if you supply the fitting he will weld it on for free

That's a weak reason.

Thats a fair point. I just bought all the lines and fitting for the car and the can it was coming with feel through. so now im stuck with a heap of fittings nd braided line. hence trying to find a fab guy so i can get it made to exactly how i need it

My tuner blocked my pcv up saying it causes problems with the nistune

Any truth to that, or is he seeing a placebo affect?

yep, with any AFM setup if you're introducing "un-metered" air from the atmosphere it will cause all sorts of issues.. hence if you're running an AFM setup with a vented catch can you need to delete the PCV

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
