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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
