Adam, Ditch the blue! Go gunmetal dude. Jim

Hang in there guys. I've got the words and photos, and just need to finish off. There were a few tricks along the way, but the removal and install took just a day, including the induction box. Watch this space, and again, apologies for not posting the info sooner. See pictures posted related to the oil catch can DIY install, and you'll get the idea of the final product. Many thanks. Jim

Good luck toorock. Gimme a yell if you can't source a part. I'll help if I can.

Hey WYTSKY, In reply, I've attached the email sent to me by Cam from TopSecret. I actually have noticed the difference, for the good. Good luck with your install too. Give me a yell if you need any help too. "Hi Jim, sorry for the delay in getting back to you with this. In order for your car to stay legal it is vital that the car’s standard positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system works as the factory intended. Therefore, when fitting an oil/air separator (commonly referred to as a catch-can) you’ll have to plumb the can in between the ports on the cam covers and the factory PCV valve, to act as a cleansing device of sorts if you will. This way everything is still sealed to keep the authorities happy, the PCV setup still works as intended and the catch-can can be put to use to remove excessive oil from the blow-by gases and minimise oily fumes being ingested by the engine from the PCV/intake system. In the instruction document you sent us, the first three options will work okay for your application and it’s just a matter of which plumbing configuration you want to use in terms of connecting the cam cover outlets to the catch-can. Option #1 is the easiest while option #3 is the most complicated but will vent slightly better. I wouldn’t recommend option #4 as it blocks the PCV entirely. When you start making lots of power – or the engine is tired and in need of a rebuild for that matter – the plumbing of crankcase gases needs more attention (i.e. minimising plumbing runs, sizes of lines, volume of catch-can etc.) but for a road car the setup you have will work well – no more octane-reducing fumes for your RB25-DET!"

Hey Basti, The PCV is left in place as normal install. The things that are redirected are the rocker cover intake and exhaust outlets, which run to the catch can first, while the outlet to the PCV is still piped, but this time through the catch can. Let me know if you think there is something screwy with the install. Hope all is well. Jim

Hey SAU Members. The attached PDF file is a brief DIY guide to the installation of an D1 Spec Oil Catch Can, as sold by Just Jap. Hope it helps. Oil_Catch_Can_DIY_Install.pdf

Hi SAU members. I remember posting one of these topics on my R34 GTT a few years back. Now its time for the R33 GTST DIY install. This thread is for people who want to specifically install an Apexi Power Intake POD filter and make a DIY induction box themselves to try and make the installation as "legal looking" as possible and reap the advantages of a greater induction air volume. Watch this thread for the pictures and step by step instructions from airbox removal, to drive away. (give me a few days) Regards Jim (TR33GT)
