Hey everyone

Just wanted to know if anyone has been defected for a oil catch can in NSW? Im new with this and i have a couple of questions, i hope someone can help me out.

I have a r33 series 2 and just wanted to know whats the difference between:

(a) rectangular oil catch can to a round one?

(b) is it better to have a breather and what does it actually do? I cant seem to search for it on the net. Heaps of link comes up but doesnt really explain what it does.

Thanks for your help

a) one is in the shape of a rectangle, and the other is round.

b) breather is for setups that have the air venting into the atmosphere (atmo). its really a personal preference on if you want to recirculate the breather air or make it atmo.

technically it isn't/shouldn't be a defect if you recirculate the air back into your intake - but cops in NSW are arseholes. once i got defected for 'engine modifications'... like wtf??

if you get a cop who doesn't know what he is doing he will defect you for it because it isn't standard, and that is the case with 99.9% of NSW highway patrol - so for safety's sake i'm going to say yes, its a defect because REALLY its you and your luck.

Hi there,

Well my question really means is there a difference between the round and rectangular catch can. Like do they work differently or one of the type is actually better than the other.

Yeah some cops are asshole and some are dumb!! I got pulled over once when i had my stock integra, the cop asked me if it was modified and he checked under the bonnet but im not scared because it is stock as a rock then he asked me if it was turbo? Im like WTF hahha

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
