Hi guys,

theres alot of info flying around in other areas of the forum, so i wanted a place for people to post up pictures and specs of their oil catch can installation. Please keep this very on topic.

I will be modifying my system soon so ill post up results once complete.

Here is a useful thread to read up on. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...ans-t68174.html

Here is SydneyKid's recommended RB25 setups. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...html&st=20#

If anyone has any pictures of a RB26 with a oil catch can setup, that'd be awesome.

All I ever see is RB20's and RB25's with oil catch can setups with extreme diagrams and walk throughs.

Theres 3 that ive seen... ones the autech can that sits on top of the rb26 at the rear..

The other is one that sits in front of the battery - Blue32 had one of these

And theres another one which is an oil/air separator (nismo, non vented) that hides underneath the ABS unit...

Maybe andrew can take some pics of his current setup as from the sounds of it, its pretty bulletproof

heres a can for the 50% plumb back option:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNIVERSAL-OIL-CATCH...A1%7C240%3A1318

3 in/outlets, removable top so you can pack it full of steel wool (in a stocking!)

That looks like a similar design to the one that ISC sells ;

Drifters catch can of choice.

Serious note.. I run 2 as its neater, I'm not a fan of hoses draped over the motor.

One either side of the motor feeding off that sides cam cover.

One sitting in the drivers side engine mount and the other behind the A/C compressor.

Since oiling mods the cans are always empty.

An engine bay pic would not be useful as it looks like a standard engine bay. You can't see hoses or catch cans.

I'm soon to rip the cams and lifters out again so I'll grab some pics of the bits underneath the manifolds.

If you can visualise...

The passenger cam breather that runs to the inlet pipe has be redirected in to the catch can that resides behind the a/c compressor / under the exh. manifold.

The hose that runs from the drivers side cam cover to the PCV/plenum has been blocked and a T piece positioned in the middle; a hose connects to the bottom T piece connection and runs under the manifold to the engine mount where the catch can is located.

Really depends on how tidy you want the engine bay to look.

RB26dett catch can set up.

Heres a thread for the autech type over the head unit

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/JJ...nt-t166910.html

It's a sealed catch can and has no breather and so is legal thru regency (they might say otherwise, but the legislation allows oil/air separators that don't have an atmospheric vent

there is another type from nismo ;

http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/NISMO-Oil-...-Kit-GT-R-55665

Which I imagine does the exact same thing as the ISC can since I can't see an atmo vent anywhere on the it (unless I'm missing something - $800+ AUD vs $50 aud? Crikey.)

I think eventually I'll get the ISC one and the Autech can as well as drilling an oil return from the head and putting in 1.5mm stoppers in the oil channels, and a sump baffle from somewhere. That should be enough for any street car.

lol Joel, you redeemed yourself with that last line :)

seriously Damo, unless you've done what Joel and others have done in relation to baffles and restrictors, do not try this method.....2 laps around Malalla and they'll be full.

I still believe that the 2 can setup that I described earlier is still the best for no other mods to restrict the oil

ROFL!

Definitely agree. Mine has a fair bit of oil pressure over 3500-4000rpm (~90-95psi).

Without the oiling mods the cam covers were filling on the dyno to the point where I could only just see the lobes poking through the top of the oil level, oil was blowing out and filling the catch cans in no time.

After the oiling mods there's only a slight puddle of oil after a hard extended run and no oil in the catch cans. :blink:

yeah funny how quick the oil gets up there and how slow it drains back, hence why a popular mod is to relieve the oil returns in the head slightly....suppose everything helps.

Here are a couple of options that will also help oil drain back while the head's off....welsh plug replacement at the rear of the head and fed back into the sump (just to help speed things along).

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
