with the cam cover one.. put simply they fill up. real fast. so instead of a "steady" stream of oily fumes comining out, you get no oil coming out and when it fills up 2~3 laps all of a sudden you get masive surges of oil being pushed out and doing harm.

the second one is good but just not big enough.

ive had all sorts of issues with catchcans on the track. i ended up making my own one. it holds about 2 litres. and ive evan combined the power steering resovior with a breather so it to doesnt overe flow everywhere.

tested at wakie it worked a treat. no more engine oil over one guard and power steering over the other lol. il put up some pics soon.

I think I will have to make up a new/bigger power steering resivour aswell, I wondered why I had power steering fluid all over the place when I went to the sprints. :(

Could I please see pics of your setup T04GTR?

damn that thing is huge nice work would be a full 2 litre's yeah.

And to think i couldn't find space for a dinky little one I really must not have tried hard enough.

How lows the mount, off the "chassis" rail and gotta ask where did you get the fittings from

Whats the smaller line at the top go to a standard can or something?for emptying?

yeah that was a quick fix at wakie to stop it overheating

the big ones are engine ones and the little one is for the power steering resovior.

fittings and hoses all ebay. you just gotta be patiant and wait for the rite lengths to pop up hehe,

ps.. all the black hoses weight less than 1kg with all fittings :wave:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
