If I am thinking right, this is a little cloth/fabric filter that sits ontop of the Cusco can. It looks like a little Apex cone pod.

You do know this is a defect. I would imagine that you get pulled over and the cops see the wisps of oil smoke curling off the top of the filter...

Tony, yep thats true defect is it indeed.

Yang: I think you can actually buy them direct from K & N so any auto spares shop has them, failing that UAS has em at the moment

okay guys thanks for the info.

Yep it is a defect... there are two other options...

1) Leave the car spewing oil back into the inlet

2) Let it vent oily gas all over your engine..

I know what i prefer :)

actually, after the oil/air seperator has done with the crankcase vented air, it should be relatively free from oil if it's doing it's job right and plumbing it back to the intake on the car shoud be ok.

Ed... apparently not.... according to Scott who has a Cusco oil catch the air coming out is still relatively dirty.... Merli says the same thing.

I'd say the main purpose of the catch can would be to prevent the oil from going into the inlet after a HARD run... when you pop the hood of a car with a filter on their oil catch... if it were so clean why would it be steaming out crap?

Maybe the cusco ones aren't the best then?  

Don't let brand dedication affect your decisions

Cusco is cheap :shake:

But seriously.. I think the reason the air/oil isn't fully seperated is at that high temp its still slightly gaseous... hence you still will have a bit of oil in it...

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
