Hi all, well as the topic title and description states.........Whats the deal with an oil breather. I was searching ebay (just now actully) and have come across a few of them for abou $20 and was wondering if they would be of any benifit to me and my R33. If anyone has any info on them that would be awesome. And if anyone has a pic or two they would like to share that would be great too.

Kind regards, Evan

oil breather??

you mean an oil catch can?

Nuh, have a look at the following link, this might help ya see what i mean. I think they would look mint under the bonnet in full view to match my Hurricaine Pod Air Filter but will they be of any benifit....thats the real question????

Kind regards, Evan

PS) Sorry guys and girls links are not working so i got rid of them. Just go to ebay australia and search for oil breathers, there is only a few of them and they generally come in red or silver.

ohh ok, if you go putting it onto the oil breather pipe, you will be letting unmetered (by air flow meter) air to enter engine and it will run lean and stall at idle.

also it illegal and you will end up with oil shooting everywhere under the hood, once the filter is saturated.

you could use one on top of a catch can, once you bypass the PCV system, but its still illegal.

Ahhhh i see, thanks RB30 Power for the info, well that was a short lasting idea i had!!! Thought i could make the engine bay lok a little more agressive, haha!! In the end sounds like a stupid idea really!

Kind regards, Evan

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed
