well went to GCG here in sydney and was very very dissapointed (after calling them on the phone that they had the one pictured....) with what was on offer for a supposedly serious company! basically didnt have any of the good "SK" spec catch cans, and were flogging off the chinese un-baffled version you see above for a good $165! nice profit there.... considering it does 2/10ths of bugger all!

ok so where can we get a catch can that you can actually open up?????

don't make me beg :):P

ok for all that are dreaming of the perfect catch can....

I rang JNT, and he just makes the can itself... however! he did have a local company in the gong making up these into catch tanks, basically on a custom basis....

they are called lesiure coast welders and are on (02) 42563524

they are making a catch tank for my GTR with filter fittings and mounting points for $150 plus courier of $22

so this is a great buy for basically a custom filter! and has the ability of being filled with stainless wool!

I just got one of these for $90 delivered.

Spent another 5 bucks on a pair of stokings and some steel wool to make up a baffle(thnx to SK) and it is ready to be installed this weekend :D

If anyone is interested in one of these catch cans pm me.

If I get 10 buyers we can have em for $80 delivered ;)

seriously guys SydneyKid has a wealth of technical knowledge but lets not ask him to hold our hand to go to the store...........as already outlined if u need rubber blanks go to Clarke rubber, if u need aluminium welding go to a local welding outfit or let your fingers do the walking, if u need stainless steel wool go to a hardware store etc

and eh.... if u need stockings I can get you some....... :aroused:

is there actually anything wrong with open to atmosphere catch cans? in terms of reliability of engine?

I know it leaves that thin layer of oil all over the engine bay and probably a yellow sticker magnet but other than that is it allright to have?

and where do I get those tiny air filters?

I would like to know as well. Is there enough ventelation in the RB motor to let all the crank case pressure releave it's self on it's own?

No problems for the engine, in fact exactly the opposite, keeps that nasty oil mist out. Tiny filters, AutoPro, Autobarn. SupaCheap, Repco, Amercian Auto Parts, Rocket Industries etc.:)

got this today looks great was cheap $120 from autobarn has removable top

and yeah im happy with it

They are not a bad design, but they have no provision for atmospheric venting (no filter). They are really designed for 100% plumb back, but they only have 2 fittings, you really need 3 fittings for full flexibility. I also found some problems with mounting and space, as the hose fittings point upwards

Please post up some pictures when you have it mounted.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
