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

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.

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 :D, 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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
