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....

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
