definately get one, other than theyre illegal theres no probs with em.

advantages, all the oil blow by vapour doesnt get recycled back into you engine. normally this blow by ends up coating the inlet piping with oil, the vapour also effectively lowers the octane rating of the fuel making the motor prone to detonation

Can get a jap one for around 2-300 or get a custom one like i did for alot less

Hmm

They are good, and worthwhile.

My question is, why do any of you open the bonnet if a cop wants a look.. If you say "NO, not unless you have a search warrant", whats gonna happen. you are entitled to show them nothing under there. Use the law to your advantage.... And plus, make up a story as to what it is... about 1 in 20 cops is really gonna know that its really a catch can. Tell that it is an oil air spearater (other name used for it), and i bet it is not on the list of "illegal" modifications, and if they ask what it does, say "it spearates oil and air, and helps potect the engine".... play dumb because cops are.

If you deny a cops request to pop the bonnet, they have to go get a search warrant....then find you at home/work, and chase you down....You really think they'll bother, then next poor kid with a hotted up Laser TX3 will just pop the bonnet like they asked...

They HAVE to have a search warrant to look under the bonnet. No Buts.

Thats an interesting point you make there SydneyKid

I got pulled over by push bike cops a few months ago.

They told me they are doing an operation in the area and I have to go to the pits.

They issued me with a special piece of paper stating that if I didn't go to the pits imediately then they would cancel my license and rego

I don't know if that piece of paper is a bluff or if they are really able to do that :Q

I have never heard of it... doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Tell them that before you do, you would like to "call your lawyer, and that will take me about an hour, hour and a half"... if they say, go away, then ya free, but if they say, nup, go now, then get out of the car and call the yellow pages or whatever phone number ya call, ask for the nearest lawyer to where you are, get them to patch you through, and tell them what the piece of paper says.....by this time the cops will be extremely pissed... but it is worth finding out, then tell everyone on here that it is a load of BS..... because i know i will if i get that.

I would just show them becuase not doing so would almost definetly result in a cannery.

Back on topic does anyone have anything to add to the following

If you get rid of the PCV system your engine will build up harmfull acidic gases which contaminate the oil reducing engine life.

I know it has happened, but my mate's cortina had a simillar prob, didn't pop it because it was NOSed (was a drag car, then got roaded), so they popped out the book of canary's, and he called his dad ( a barrister ), and gave the phone to the cop... took 10 seconds....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
