Oil Catch Can - R33

[NSA11N]

Where should i mount my oil catch can???

Post up picks if u have one fitted in u'r R33

[evil_weevil]

havent got pics online, but mines mounted next to the wiper blades motor

I'll try and get a photo...

[evil_weevil]

I used your old photo....and kinda did a painty thing...

[lingeringsoul]

i think i might go buy one for my car too.

[NSA11N]

shouldn't my hosing work like this, this way it stops the oil from passing through the turbo??

[eugen_syd]

Paul,

Come and see me at show'n'shine and I'll show you my location. I guess boot is always an option..hehehehehhe

EUG.

Dude.. What the fuck?

Perhaps doing a search would let you understand how a catchcan works, and the point of it. Knowing why youre putting an aftermarket one there would probably help make you sound less stupid.

PS: Give Liz's sock back.

Arkhaeon, no need to be rude. Don't be so juvenile as to resort to calling some one stupid when they are just asking for help.

NSA11N, restricting Oil form your turbo would be bad. Just do a search on the forums for catchcans, and you should find enough info.

[Arkhaeon]

Well, was I wrong? I do believe calling me juvenile would be placed in the same category as calling someone stupid. I fail to see how calling a spade a spade is juvenile. If anything, I am acting as a normal twenty-something should act.

A member with 133 posts should know already how the search function works, and thus utilise said function before posting.

Pauls' initial question showed he doesnt use the search function (for a silly, commonly discussed topic), and that gets up my goat enough in itself, but then proceeding to dispute an MS paint drawing of a catchcan location, based on the turbo lines? That doesnt exactly show the greatest deal of subject knowledge.

If you want me to conform, and "Be an individual.. just like everyone else", then fine; heres' my revised post:

Hey d00d, sik engine bay! I think you need a stainless catchcan to match all those other aftermarket goodies! Keep up the good work

[Moanie]

man! why can't we all just help each other? the guy asked a question! at least let him know nicely to use the search button! there is no need to be so rude!

and nsa11n, mines near the pod filter.. it used to be near the fuse box.. so it really depends on where you have foinf space in your engine bay! lol! as for which way the cables go, i have also seen many variations of this setup! unfortunately i don't know the reasons for it! lol!

If you haven't already purchsed it, and you expect to do a lot of track time, you might consider an oil seperator. It serves the same function as a catch can but also seperate the oil and feeds it back to the engine. It will cost more (prob $400 all in) but provides a "closed loop" system.

hey, i bought one but the inlets/outlets were to small, i was told to at least use a catch can with a 12mm - 15mm inlet/outlet.

so i have to get a new 1.

nsa111n i would like to see pics of your when you install to get an idea for mine... thanks

Dude.. You're a jerk?

Perhaps doing the right thing and helping me put it in would have been a nicer approach.

And as for sounding stupid, i'm sure that you've asked many a question like this before, so play nice and do the right thing!

[evil_weevil]

Paul,

Have a look at mine on sunday at S n S or saturday if you are going to JET's workshop

Mine does havethe oil/air seperator but its actually illegal to have it venting to atmosphere so Ive got a return line.

I got mine through performance wise

[Arkhaeon]

Actually, I read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" topics, which tell you to do a search.

I could help you put it in, but you would probably just aggrevate me more in person.

Have you tried searching for ideas yet? www.google.com.au will help if you can't find any decent information on sau. I know catchcans have been covered on www.nissansilvia.com, which google should link you to.

[Abo Bob]

It doesn't matter how wrong he might be or if he should have searched or if he doeesn't know something you do, there is no need for rudeness. Just cos someone doesn't know something doesn't make them stupid.

Here is were I put my catch can, near the pod filter. I still have to get braided lines

I is basically beside the aircon condensor or what ever it is called mounted on a bracket that I made.

This guy is the breathing definition of a f**khead.

Dont worry about him. Your questions are welcome. I would also suggest looking around the forums for other catch can threads, theres a few.

Heres my custom catch can/washer bottle setup made by R.I.P.S (www.ripsltd.co.nz) in N.Z, it completly replaces the stock washer bottle, in my opinion it is one of the cleanest looking setups avaliable, i love mine, mite even send it back to rips to get it polished for that extra bling , my setup is just straight from the cam covers to the catch can using -10 pushlock hose for the breather lines, 2 x -10 female fittings, 2 x -10 male weld on fittings on the catch can, a custom made alloy bung for the stock pcv valve and thats pretty much it.

Heres some pics, sorry that there not the best.

I can get some better pics if anyone wants them.
