Just thought I would post some pics of an oil catch can I am making that is vent to atmosphere but soon wont look like it...

It is a piece of 90x90 MS RHS that has been turned into 70x90mm (not so rectangular though) so it clears cam covers...Its fitted to strut brace with a couple of aluminium brackets profiles out of 10mm plate...Not finished yet but here is some progress shots...The idea is to have a high flowing oil catch can but with the vent filters hidden from view.

Filters will be covered with aluminium shroud that covers them so they can't be seen...let me know what you think...

Am even going to fit a dummy hose back to the intake pipework for that 'EPA approved' look...will be painted in 'Highway Patrol invisible matt black'....If asked it will be my '10% ethanol fuel blend enabled polariser not tested on animals' fitted to the car when I bought it thing...

The ultimate covert..

The PVC is blocked off but a hose is still connected for looks. A T piece runs to a catch can hidden under the inlet manifold.

The pipe that generally connects to the inlet has been modified and plumbs in to another catch can that sits behind the a/c compressor.

hehe cubes...

your engine bay looks exactly like mine minus the dirt :D

i got pulled over for a "random inspection" and was congratulated in being one of the responsible import drivers that leave their cars standard...

he did not know he was looking at a 270rwkw rb30det hehe :(

I love stockness...

Two covert set ups, im still toying with the idea on making mine a little more inconspicuous but with the highmount, gate and fmic piping i dont think its really worth it :D

Paul i like your idea about the 10% ethanol fuel polariser :)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
