Catch Can Setup On A 26

Ok so I got myself a catch can from justjap for my gtr, it's one that incorporates the washer bottle too. Anyway I'm going to install it on the weekend and wondering what's the best way to plumb it up. The can only has two inlets and then a drain plug. I was think of running one line from the right hand rocker cover to the can and then join the other line onto the factory line that runs from the intake so that I will still have a restrictor in place. This setup would leave the PVC setup as is and also the crossover between the covers.

Thoughts?

Sounds about right. You lost me after you talk about joining the other factory line? My car allready had a catch can installed.

You can see the line from the manifold to the rocker covers Then has a join and off to the can. The outlet on the can then goes to the intake.

I'm a big fan of the twin can setup that alot of single can guys have converted to after constantly filling their single cans with oil after every track meet.

The cylindrical top can to recirculate excess oil out of the cam covers back in and the style of can that you've just bought (that doubles as a washer bottle) to catch the remaining vapour and dregs

I've just seen way too many sumps half drained with the single set ups whether it be by worn rings (too much crank case pressure) or incorrect can style & setup

Pete, if you do a search, there's a lot of info in the national pages re can setup

brad thats the nismo separator youve got. nice bit of kit that.

ive been doing a fair bit of reading up about the whole deal over the last few days. the problem is everyone has different setups and people always swear by theirs so theres heaps of different info out there making it hard for the useless bloke like me to decide what the best way to go is. if your mind can handle my mad paint skills, below is the setup im considering. this will still retain the factory pcv setup and is completely sealed and legal. if the can is getting filled to much i could also run a line from the drain plug on the catch can to the dipstick but that would mean getting a baffle welded into the can and using some steel wool to filter any shit out. alternatively i could do as you suggested pete and run an autech style can between the rocker covers.

so the blue lines are the factory oil lines and the red ones are the catch can lines. inside the short blue line from the intake is the factory oil restrictor/oil to air separator. it looks like this

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
