by proper do u mean legal way or proper way for not having any crankcase vapour going back into your engine? proper legal way is to have it entering your catch can through on of the top outlets then back into before the turbo for the outher outlet. and the drain at the bottom should feed back to your sump so u don't have to ever worry about it getting full..

um.. sure? lol.. well i dont mind if its not hooked up2 the sump.. the rest sounds ok tho.. :banana: def want it the best way.. i find it hard for a pic for an rb20 :D( its connecting up to a d1 catch can.. has 2 dash fittings at the top.. and a drain plug(currently closed off) ..

haven't got a pic of one for an rb20 but if u dont want any going back into your engine which is best for performance then u need to block off the one going to your inlet manifold first of all otherwise you'll get an air leak and won't run properly. then either drill some holes in the top of the catch can and feed the 2 outlets from your rocker covers into the 2 fittings. or somehow join the 2 outlets on the rocker cover so that they end up into one of the fittings on the catch can then stick a filter onto the other catch can fitting... hope this helps..

haha aww sowie brother.. but u have an rb25 it just sliped my mind.. mine 100% plumbed back.. an legal ftw.. anyways heres a pic.. i made everything from scratch.. bought it all from bunnings rofl.. catch can made out of pvc sleeve and fittings ect.. baffled and stuffed with scourers ect.. and the hose.. and Hose clamps.. WOO sexy time.. mite go a 16mm hose dia.. an fittings wen i end up with a good lookin catch can ect :P

im about to install mine. yours looks nice and neat. but where did the second hose go?

or you only had 1 inlet/outlet

It goes to the return on the intake pipe.

Probably better to set it up the other way... as far as i can gather anyway :S

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
