Did a search and couldn't find a topic like this.

 

Any way, did a catch can install on my GT-T yesterday and nI now have a check engine light on... and dont know what the problem is. Its plumbed from the cam breathers to a tee piece to join them together, going into the 'in' on the can, then the 'out' going back to the intake before the turbo. Have I dont it wrong? Id check for a pcv but tbh I have no clue where or what it is. Any better suggestions for a closed loop system or and help would be great! 

Thanks in advance guys!

Take a photo and post it.

The Nissan pipe will have a small orifice (Restrictor) in is.  Does your new piping?

PCV = Positive Crank ventilation.  When you have manifold vacuum it will suck the blowby out of the sump.  It is usually on the exhaust cam side of the engine half way along.  What did you do to the piping on this side?

Tbh this is my first import and im quite new to dealing with them. The engine is NEO not sure if that matters. It seems to run perfectly well.. actually better... boost is more obvious and same with power. But with the check engine light on im worried if i continue driving it as my daily I'll damage something expensive :'( As you can see in the picture its just a basic setup to be considered legal so if this is wrong please let me know of a better way? 

Cheers!

search for how to produce codes that tell what the warning light means.

Yea just had a search, cheers. Thought only that consults could check that but found another way lol. Bridging the terminal together.. will try that tomorrow sometime and will update.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
