catchcan.jpg

Hey

My R33 GTR came with a custom catch can/water tank that looks identical to the one pictured above, does anyone know what brand catch can/water tank it is? Looks to be a nice neat design but there's no where to open the can up to drain the oil or clean the inside nor any markings to identify

Anyways, its not currently connected and I was just wondering what the best way to plumb it up is, where does the 2nd yellow hose connect to under the intake manifold?

Car isn't anything crazy, just run 14psi, with exhaust, PFC etc etc

Thanks

You could find, that hose isn't connected to anything, but just vents behind the gear box.

Yeah mine was like that, which is bad, so I took it all out.

But in that pic, it is connected to something, I just gotta find a better pic at home.

looks similar to arc style

+1

I'm pretty sure ARC doesn't make these anymore but I could be wrong.

Also I'm hunting for one of these.

Cheers

really depends if you want to keep it legal..

I have mine set-up such that both cam breathers run to a large baffled tank with the baffle there to force the blowby into the tank rather than going straight to the oulet (this depends on the shape of the tank). I then pipe the blowby from the can to the rear of the car. The legal version of this set-up would see the breather from the catch can running to the inlet pipe on the turbo/s. There are plenty of other ways of dealing with pcv but for a streetcar this seems to be the easiest.

edit; I definantly would recommend a catch can, take a look at the inside of a stock gtr intercooler to see why!

there are plenty of companies that make combination washer bottle/catch cans for R33 and 34 GTR. no way to tell where yours is from without pics. to empty it you simlpy unhook the pipes, un bolt it, lift it out and tip it upside down.

when i get close to back on the road,

i have a massive sheet of alloy at my friends workshop.

we're making airbox and an oil catch/radiator overflow/washer bottle all in one to go in the location where the 32 Gtr battery usually is.

Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated

My car is going for a tune on Friday so I might see if the mechanic can hook it up for me while I'm there if not then I will just do it over the weekend

Appreciate the offer Gareth, I should be a member by the next official event and will more than likely turn up. If its not connected by then your help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Sure, if you get stuck PM me, once I get the oil change done I usually take the car out most weekends.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
