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

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

Also I'm hunting for one of these.

Cheers

Grant

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

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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
