ok i got my catch can from just jap the other night. installed it today n went for a small hard drive just on low boost. n its already filled it up to about a little over half full. prolly about 500mL. sound like screwed piston rings to you blokes. also i have an issue sometimes where while im driving the car will just cut out n eventually it comes back alive. this seams to happen when going for a hit but i got a guy to follow me n when it happens no smoke comes out the pipe or anything.

Any ideas.

Cheers

You sure its been installed properly? Did it burn alot of oil before hand?

ye the install is as follows.

if u look at motor from front of car u have left and right rocker covers. the input to the can is taken from the breather coming out the top hole on the right rocker cover and then goes throught the tank and back out where it used to be installed. can somebody tell me if this is correct if not give me a step by step listing and pics if possible on how to do it. cheers

Yes was using alot of oil before but it was just filling up the intercooler.

Was burning oil but not at the moment as its catching in the can. but fills up rather quike

Oil Pressure is fine according to the gauge.

Cheers

i have had my catch can installed for over a year running around 17-20 psi of boost. opened up my catch can the other day and there was nothing inside it.. is this a bad thing? i expected a lil something??

well i think it depends on whether u have it re-circulating back into the sump or not. mine is just a can that catchs it before going to the inlet pipe. what happens if u plumb it so it goes to the sump again. i think there is a pipe u can split n put a t piece on. would this screw up ur pressure though. also i was doing some more testing in the wet today just doing some sideways stuff to see what would happen n the motor was cutting in and out on me. does this sound like maybe a ignition problem rather than a oil thing?

coil packs? i dont want some retard going on about performance plug packs from splitfire because i dont understand how some little company thinks they can do it way better than nissan can. whats the purpose for changing these coils. is it simply because they are way cheaper and still offer a good run? can somebody tell me if this is the usual symptoms of my motor cutting in and out at high rpm. it will cut out then instantly start again.

Cheers

sorry for going a bit off topic.

By cutting in and out do you mean misfire? The splitfire coils aren't neccessarily better, they are exactly the same as stock, however they are brand new, not 20 years old. Hence the better performance. Higher boost then stock and aged cracked coils means a weaker spark that can get blown out at high rpm. Try gapping your plugs down to .8 and then .6 and also try glueing/taping your stock coils up. Theres lots and lots of threads on this go have a read. Should be able to fix your problem.

cheers rolls so i take it they are pretty much the same thing at half the price or something would that be correct?

Half a can!!!!!!!!! You got problems, I wonder if somebody installed an incorrect [or installed it in reverse] head gasket or something, it sounds like your flooding your head/rockers with oil and its not getting back to the sump quick enough. Something is stopping it draining/flowing back. I don't go with the blown motor theory, you would definitely know if it was blown that bad.

Take it for a drive and then look in your rocker oil cap and see if its swimming in oil or just wet??

Could be a bad instal or a bad quality catch can. My mate had trouble with his coz i think the hoses were too small or some sort of pressure was wrong. Not sure tho

how can a catch can be bad? it's only bad when it has holes in it and leaks crap everywhere.. even a sealed milo can could be a catch can. :wave:

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      So left off with high hopes of having a gearbox in pretty quickly........ Got the adapter plate that week and had to chase a few threads and work out how/where everything goes as no instructions. Got the adapter fitted, test fitted gearbox and found had to cut and shave a few things. Tunnel required some hits with a decent hammer to give some clearance on passenger side but it fits with no problems,  could fit a 8hp70 with a little more work. For a cross member I wasn't going to spend $1100 on so shiny machined piece. Went through a few designs and remembered I had a gktech s chassis to cd00# cross member. Fitted that and found its close enough with a few extra bits welded so have gone that way and still a work in progress.  After this got into modifying the intercooler with some bends and clamps. I was procrastinating on this as was not keen to cut up and weld it myself but happy with the outcome.  Onto the radiator shroud and oil cooler mount. This thing took way longer than I thought it would but having to add an extra oil cooler for the trans and wanting everything within the chassis rails its good enough for now. It mounts to the chassis and gives plenty of room for lines and pipes. All the coolers are rubber mounted and sealed the shroud on the top and sides, will use some tape to seal the bottom gap of about 10mm. 20250508_111500.mp4   Next job was to build the new diff and after a delay with a friend got built this week. I ended up putting it all together with supervision and was good to learn how to set one up correctly. I ended up going a 3.69 ratio, nismo 1.5 way gt pro with gtr Axel's. Stripped it all down, gave all the parts a good clean, pressed on new bearings and set backlash. Was good working in a clean assembly room with all the gear. Once got home wire wheeled the case and hit it with some rollbar/chassis black paint. Got a few more bits done but will leave them for the next update.

      That could be drilled, ground and welded. Would stop it progressing and leaking. But that block shouldn't be pushed very hard, as what you see there is a massive warning sign. But that fix also isn't going to happen properly with the engine in the car, and assembled. So you're looking at anew block if you're doing all that work anyway.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      It's not as simple as it is being made out to be. It s not hard, but there are things that have to be done. Am busy right now, but will try to essay later.

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pinout is different to my knowledge, but you should confirm to be sure. Also you will need to adjust the VQ table in Nistune to suit. I would still recommend sticking with recirculating BOVs, I'm not sure if the R35 card MAF will fully resolve stalling caused by reversion/throttle lift.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      What issues are those? Previous owner said it wants to stall sometimes. We did test drive and it was nice and smooth so it will be sporadic or idk. And if i just change MAF(the sensor to R35 version) it should be better? And as i asked...is it like "plug n play" with oem MAF from R34?  This is a MAF from R35 right?
