Hi all,

I bought a Hi Octane Catch tank for an R34 GT-R, and just wanted to ask you guys which oil lines you recommend I should use to go to the breathers, like brands and where I can get from etc?

Cheers,

Glen

I used Aeroflow 400 series rubber oil line with Aeroflow pushlock -10AN fittings on my GTS-T mainly because they don't draw much attention, look good in black and being a non-braided line (which really isn't necessary for a crankcase breather) the whole ordeal was fairly cheap, obviously the fittings are a little bit expensive, but if you're buying fittings anyway it doesn't really matter

EDIT: as to where i purchased my stuff, i got it from rocket industries in sydney, but you can find all the items on ebay and other online stores

Thanks for the reply guys, so with my Catch tank the fittings are threaded, so does that mean I have no choice but to use Aeroflow or Earls fittings etc?

Like I cant just use rubber hose and clamp?

Cheers,

Glen

Correct you will need fittings not just rubber/clamp. If you tried rubber/clamp on those threaded fittings it won't work very well. You need to work out what AN size they are, I think High Octane racing mention the sizes on the product description. As a side note, I know you can purchase a High Octane catch can without the threaded fittings, designed for rubber/clamps so not sure if you knew that was available or not.

The engine covers which have your PCV valves would then need to be changed to fittings also most likely, which you can weld on. The PCV valves correspond to AN-16 size from memory, any smaller would be a restriction.

Unless someone has tried fittings on the catch can and just clamped at the PCV valve side, I personally don't know how well braided line would sit on the standard PCV valve outlets. The way Jordy has his catch can setup would be the ideal way if you go down the route of fittings on the engine covers and catch can.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
