ok i got my catch can from just jap the other night. installed it today n went for a small hard drive just on low boost. n its already filled it up to about a little over half full. prolly about 500mL. sound like screwed piston rings to you blokes. also i have an issue sometimes where while im driving the car will just cut out n eventually it comes back alive. this seams to happen when going for a hit but i got a guy to follow me n when it happens no smoke comes out the pipe or anything.

Any ideas.

Cheers

You sure its been installed properly? Did it burn alot of oil before hand?

ye the install is as follows.

if u look at motor from front of car u have left and right rocker covers. the input to the can is taken from the breather coming out the top hole on the right rocker cover and then goes throught the tank and back out where it used to be installed. can somebody tell me if this is correct if not give me a step by step listing and pics if possible on how to do it. cheers

Yes was using alot of oil before but it was just filling up the intercooler.

Was burning oil but not at the moment as its catching in the can. but fills up rather quike

Oil Pressure is fine according to the gauge.

Cheers

i have had my catch can installed for over a year running around 17-20 psi of boost. opened up my catch can the other day and there was nothing inside it.. is this a bad thing? i expected a lil something??

well i think it depends on whether u have it re-circulating back into the sump or not. mine is just a can that catchs it before going to the inlet pipe. what happens if u plumb it so it goes to the sump again. i think there is a pipe u can split n put a t piece on. would this screw up ur pressure though. also i was doing some more testing in the wet today just doing some sideways stuff to see what would happen n the motor was cutting in and out on me. does this sound like maybe a ignition problem rather than a oil thing?

coil packs? i dont want some retard going on about performance plug packs from splitfire because i dont understand how some little company thinks they can do it way better than nissan can. whats the purpose for changing these coils. is it simply because they are way cheaper and still offer a good run? can somebody tell me if this is the usual symptoms of my motor cutting in and out at high rpm. it will cut out then instantly start again.

Cheers

sorry for going a bit off topic.

By cutting in and out do you mean misfire? The splitfire coils aren't neccessarily better, they are exactly the same as stock, however they are brand new, not 20 years old. Hence the better performance. Higher boost then stock and aged cracked coils means a weaker spark that can get blown out at high rpm. Try gapping your plugs down to .8 and then .6 and also try glueing/taping your stock coils up. Theres lots and lots of threads on this go have a read. Should be able to fix your problem.

cheers rolls so i take it they are pretty much the same thing at half the price or something would that be correct?

Half a can!!!!!!!!! You got problems, I wonder if somebody installed an incorrect [or installed it in reverse] head gasket or something, it sounds like your flooding your head/rockers with oil and its not getting back to the sump quick enough. Something is stopping it draining/flowing back. I don't go with the blown motor theory, you would definitely know if it was blown that bad.

Take it for a drive and then look in your rocker oil cap and see if its swimming in oil or just wet??

Could be a bad instal or a bad quality catch can. My mate had trouble with his coz i think the hoses were too small or some sort of pressure was wrong. Not sure tho

how can a catch can be bad? it's only bad when it has holes in it and leaks crap everywhere.. even a sealed milo can could be a catch can. :wave:

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
