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.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
