Attention all GTR owners!

We've all seen the Nismo Oil/Air Separators (catch cans)

They are a fully legal, closed loop (plumb back) oil separator, that returns the collected oil back to the sump via the rear turbo drain:

Stolen from Nismo Site:

Blow-by gas exiting the combustion chamber can mix with engine oil and return during the intake stroke. While under normal condition oil collects in the intercooler, blowback can cause parts related to intake, such as the airflow meter, to become dirtied by oil. The NISMO oil separator separates the oil from the blowback gases returning from the cylinder head during the intake stroke, decreasing the amount of oil deposited in the intercooler. Because it is designed to return the separated oil to the oil pan, the oil separator also decreases motor oil consumption. The blowback gases are returned to the engine and are not released to the atmosphere, making this a valuable device for automobile inspection procedures.

Now, these bad boys retail for around the $600 mark from Nengun, Ebay, and RHDJapan.com

I've spoken to a fabricator mate of mine, and we both reckon we can knock a few of these up for alot less than $600.

At this stage, I'm going to put set the initial estimate on price for a kit at ~$300 each + postage. *Please not this may change*

This will get you basically what you see above.

We are located in North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide, and will be starting the first catch can this xmas break.

Once the first one is completed (for me!) I will gladly post up photos, a more accurate price per item, and then taking official orders.

So, who is interested in a fully street legal oil / air separator for a GTR?

Nigel.

I'll follow your progress Nigel but won't commit until my current catch can has been inspected as it is currently leaking and spraying oil in the engine bay. If the current can is determined unfixable/useless then I'd be interested to see what you and your mate can fabricate and how successful it is under track conditions.

As I said I'll follow with interest.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
