I have read through so many catch can setup threads and there is so many different ways to set them up I'm going to run one which vents to atmo now do I have to plumb the pcv into the can or just the cam covers. Also can the cam cover outlets be turned I want to place my catch can at the back of the engine bay

Don't have it vent... If its blowing a bit, and fills up you'll soon know why I say this...

Because if it overflows, in a hot engine bay, instant fire. Seen 4 cars over the years light up for this reason. It's very easy to forget to empty it etc.

Ok so if I was not to vent it what's the best way to set it up doesn't have heaps of blow by

If I left the pcv as factory how would it idle funny as it has not been changed just the cam covers

Because the PCV goes to the plenum...when you un-seal the engine by venting the can to air the motor can suck un metered air into the intake through the PCV....just like a vauum leak

Got mine running from the breathers to an atmospheric catch can.. then using a drain to the the rear turbo drain that im no longer using due to my single conversion

in theory should work fine.. yet to run it though

easy way to explain it..

take the hose that runs from your cam covers to your intake pipe.

.put a cathcan in the middle of it somewhere..

Job done.. ;)

you can make something more elaborate if you wish but there is no real need..

Most have a little clear tube so you can tell if its filling up, just make the drain point easy to get to

yeah I stuck mine under the guard under the airbox :ninja:...

Can was 20$ of ebay and hose was 20$ from somewhere like enzed..cheap easy does the job..actually I have no blowby so it does nothing ..lol

You can just put a little tap in the bottom of it if draining it becomes a problem.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      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
