At the moment I am running my catch can with pcv so rockers tee into the catch can then other port goes from catch to intake but I want to go atmo now instead. What happens if you run same setup as I have now except replacing the line from can that goes back into intake with just a breather? From what I read most choose to delete the pcv when going atmo does it make a difference if you keep it?

because you have to if you're running an AFM, if you're running a MAP sensor go for gold also the reason for deleting the PCV is to reduce foreign air and other shit entering your motor without passing through the air filter.

Remember the PCV will "suck" air during idle

Block it and avoid the engine sucking in oil vapour is the main reason.

If your "breather" on the atmo can is a mini filter, the air in the cam covers is "filtered" but full of all sorts of vapours that most people don't want in their engine for performance reasons.

The PCV only opens under vacuum, so it has no adverse effects on the engine if it inhales oily air at idle. If it did, the engineers would have found another way to achieve the result, which is to reduce emissions of engine gasses to the atmosphere.

Oil in the intake stream is only a problem under load, because oil is a serious octane reducer.

To the OP, if it ain't broke, don't fiddle with it.

i see your engine doesn't enter vacuum on gear shifts... Or need high octane fuel the moment the throttle is jumped back on after a gear shift...

Ive ended up blocking and going atmo, my main reason for doing this is as a test as I cant figure out why my intake and cooler is getting oil in it as turbo seals were checked are 100 percent fine and breather lines and catch can are empty so with this I can eliminate another option as to where the oil is coming from.

did you have any sort of mesh or baffling in your catchcan?...a pipe in. pipe out catch can with no internal baffling will do nothing and oil will just end up in your intake again....get a stocking and fill it with coarse steel wool , put it in your catchcan and make the inlet hose go to the bottom of the can while the breather hose exits the top...so that way the vapous re filtering through the mesh on the way up and this will cath most of the vapours..and your can should fill with oil instead of your intake

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
