correct me if i am wrong but i beleive they are an out let for the oil vapours for when the engine is working hard, the breather is there for the vapours to go into but if it is not the vapours recirculate and can cause pinging as is the case with my car.

thanks heaps for that guys...i will give the guys at GC a call...have you got any pics of yours ?? and did they fit it or did you do it yourself ?

The catch can also prevents your coola getting coated in oil. I recently got a FMIC and the old one had a black residue on the inlet side:( Which reduces efficiency of the coola. This was running only about 9psi boost. As adam says, on higher boost the problem is worse. A catch can will trap the residue (hopefully) before recirculating the gasses through the induction system. A breather will just allow the gasses to vent to atmo, which I believe is illegal (emissions), please correct me if I am wrong

They are illegal......

With or with out the little filter, if it vents to atmo. it's illegal.

Any ways, if you are getting oil in the I/C pipes from the rocker covers spilling oil and fit an Catch can, you would get a performance gain.

If you don't have much oil then the you would not notice anything.

I my self had oil in the I/C pipes and recently fitted an oil/air seperator, made a big difference (only running about 9psi)...

My 2 cent's worth.

Cheers

Rob

Yes there is usually stuff inside it, they are not hard to make, just stuff it full of wire wool scourer, the course type made from stainless (sell from woolies 3 for a few bucks) are 'supposed' to be the best, although if its in an oil catch can, I wouldnt think any type of steel wool will rust? Anyone confirm this????

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
