Hey guys I got given this catch can and yes before you ask I have done a search, just wondering why it has 3 ports out of it, I supose its not a catch can but a oil sperater, anyway what do you guys think and what is the nipple at the bottom for? should I turf this and get something else?

two on the top for "intake" and bottom for releasing gases and such out I believe. most guys just run a tube out underneath the car.

wont all the oil just drain out of it then and if you run the pipe up then down the air wont go thorough the oil would it?

Two of the ports are for as discribed the top of the covers, 1 side for the top of the covers the other plumbed back into the intake, the bottom one is for a drainage of oil. There is a big thing about baffling inside the can too to make it well more effecient in its design of what its for. Usual trick if you can open it up and place steel wool inside a stocking then place the stocking inside the can will help with its efficiency in a big way

Plenty of topics on this search (catch+can) or oil/air seperator for more information

Unless your car is blowing a large amount of oil my suggestion would be to plug that lower hole.

just run it as a std catch can(with the wool inserted) and drain it from that plug if it starts to fill up

      newbie attempts the GTR life.

      Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By codygrimm27 · Posted

      Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By codygrimm27 · Posted

      So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Stagea Differential - Note two top tabs, one bolt hole for ATTESA pump mounting   300zx Diff - No mounting tabs Also found this mounting kit ?? https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
