You only need a catch can if the motor is unhealthy. Just drill the appropriate sized hole into the intake and weld some pipe onto it then attach the breather pipe to it. All legal. Alternatively, cut a section of alloy pipe into the original rubber intake and away you go. You just have to remove the long and therefore softest section of the intake. Or yet again contact the many sponsors on Skylines Australia and get a new silicon intake.

Just do one change at a time and let us know how you go. Oh, and check all your earths just incase the car has been in an accident some time and they bolted the earth back up without scraping the paint away or left them loose.

Or if you track the car...

This is why at the start I asked what intake and exhaust you have, the rubber intake hose will most likely be sucking shut...why not answer the question next time instead of saying you know its nothing to do with your turbo setup even though you have no idea about what happens when you leave a soft rubber intake hose on and what's the point in posting if you have already made you're mind up on what you're going to do?

At what point do I seem ignorant? I'm sorry if seem ignorant, but I was just stating what I was experiencing.

I dont appreciate being called a fool, so careful with your words mate.

Well, I've proven my point.

What's the point if you're going to ask questions and then be a fool and not listen to the answers?

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
