On the topic of catch cans, I have heard good and bad things about them. Some people recon that the vapor helps to keep things lubricated. Where if u put the catchcan in it will take that away. Dunno tho, what are peoples thoughts on this

Speaking of which.

I keep seeing a white Lambo out the front of my work, Asian student gets out each time and goes into the student accomodation block across the road... lol.

I see AMGs and all sorts of other thumping cars and sometimes with P plates on them

It's seriously taking the piss @ reality.

That Asian student is my cousin.

Hopefully this asian dude has no appreciation of money :)

Other dude around here about 21 or so drives a late model lambo... His dad owns viking transport

His dad is my uncle, so yeah that's my cousin too bro.

Spacers are cheating, like a push up bra really

:rofl:

That is great!

LOL. I know. It was only 5mm though. Most people would say I was being anal, but knowing my rears were tucked in by 2mm just did my head in.

Really, so having the pipe work 10cm in, 10cm out. With for instance 100cubic mm of surface area for the oil to come in contact with. That is going to

perform the same duty as 45cm in and 45 cm out with 450cubic mm of surface area for the oil to come in contact with? Surly the more you can

break down the vapor the better?

but yeh maybe he is right, the air may not 'slow' down as such.

after 30 odd track days my can only has residue inside it and the intake pipe is clean.

yeah maybe this is one for mythbusters cause your idea is definately plausable and works well for you ..

I would love to see that pirate.gif

Either way there are a million different ways it could be done.

eeerrrrr yeh wat thinking more like keeps the butterflys lubed not your wang

Negated by the fact the oil vapor is effectively lowing your octane ratting, thus causing or leaving you open to knock.

but isnt some blowby normal?? dunno guys im just saying i've heard arguments for and against have have nfi. I dont run a catch can atm, my cars not really modified to the point where I would need one.

Even better, tell him to do some good prices on the stuff for me.

Is that how you know Jess?

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
