Are you and @fatz related? because your crazy catch can hoses make me think you are.

 

Does it run one of these? 

[No Crust Racing]

That was my most recent test and finally I have zero oil control issues

I could tidy it up, but f**k it, racecar and it works with off cuts of other hoses. 

 

[acsplit]

Maybe run a longer hose for the breather so if it decides to spew it's not on to the hot dump pipe?

I edited my post above.

It's even worse at the moment as the closer can is not vented atmo over near the turbo too, that will be changed

The back one is not so bad, if it weeps a little it sits up on that little lip. 

Ideally I need a redesigned can up behind the shock tower incorporating all fittings with a big ass breather on top. 

But that's $$

[acsplit]

Yeah I have seen way too many oil fires because of catch can's on the turbo side of cars.

[No Crust Racing]

I've had it blast out oil all over that side of the engine and other than the smell, no issues. 

When you don't make power, you don;t have heat issues. 

Oh and I did put the stock heat shield back.

Will pay money if you get a run of these stickers going

That's why it's been so reliable!

[No Crust Racing]

It made more power and felt better to drive on the old SAFC/SITC combo TBH, but that could just be because I got the GT-R and now have a little bit of power to play with in that.

So... we need to see some videos of the guages at work...

You have them. 

Boost gauge isn't connected at the moment. Considering deleting that too. Ah, I have the Nismo one in the centre but that reads to 1.4 bar only.

They were shit clips and you know it. 

Get some in the daylight with a decent camera and a proper mount

That's fine, but I haven't driven or seen the car since.

I have to put the bloody thing back together and get the wheels pointing the right way before that shit.

Ill put it on the list of things to do.

Because you confused the feck out of the oil and it has no clue where the feck it should go...so just sits in the engine feeling dejected

[No Crust Racing]

Looks worse than it is.

Rockers Tee'd into can and vented atmo.

Dipstick and "balance pipe" Tee'd into another can and vented.

Balance pipe is Nissan's attempt to equalise sump and head pressure. Connects sump to rear of intake rocker.

From factory, in 1989....

Something wicked this way comes...
