Here is what i was telling u guys about. Someone actually looked what was inside one.

Here are his comments from another thread

Bought one today, and got my pen light to have a look up inside it through the drain hole...only to discover that they're hollow! Just a tin basically.

Since these items are recirculating, how are they suppose to stop the vapours recirculating as well? No fins etc to condense the oil vapours.

I will be taking it back tomorrow and will be investing in a cusco one or one of similar quality. Are there any good recirculating catch cans on the market? A breathing one is my last resort.

I should have known better...

hey guys im "whistlas friend" lol....

yeah im not surprised these autobarn ones have turned out to be useless. what do you expect for 90 bucks. i mean i wouldnt buy a 100 dollar intercooler. but anyway...

yes, ive had custom ones made (ready for delivery, not just "an idea" ive had) and whistlas looks fantastic, and actually functions.

mine have an internal downpipe from the 'inlet' that directs fumes into stainless steel mesh to be condensed. the outlet back to the inlet tract is hence above all that and is not afected by oil fumes at all

Well I bought a cusco catch can for 60 bucks (excluding shipping) secondhand from japan which fits an R32... around about the same time that these guys were organising a group buy. :rofl:

Personally I think $270+ is too much to spend on a catch can. I know alot of the jap brands are cheaper than that - do they have fins and stuff inside, or just hollow like autobarn ones? I had a jap brand one (ATS or something) and it was filled with what looked to be baffle matterial, so the vapours would stick to it or something - what is this design like?

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
