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

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
