Yeah no shit hey. Trying to find out about catch can setups/ oil mods for some piece of mind and just when I get some useful info someone two posts down trashes it.

All I want is a lightly tuned reliable GTR.

• Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler
  
• Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance
  
• Pods or panel filters
  
• clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps.
  

Too many options, too many chances of buying a brand thats not going to work well.

It's simple, there's ASSLOADS of recommendations out there. Easiest way to pick what works, go to the RB26 dyno thread, compile a part list, work from there. That way you know what works and what doesn't.

As for your list...

[*]Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler - JJR Autech catchcans are the trick, simple, cheap, easy

[*]Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance) - If you're not going to listen to heaps of people recommending you see Andrew, I won't answer this, he is cheap, does quality work and his service is second to none

[*]Pods or panel filters - Standard air box is good for 400atw, it also lets a shitload more cold air in through the air guide, do the math

[*]clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps - Clutch; a nice twin is my opinion but that's personal preference. EBC; anything like the Profec B or the Blitz SBC. Injectors; 700cc Sards, straight drop in, easy as (although not needed if keeping standard tubos). Cams; not needed. Fuel pump; I prefer the Nismo for straight drop in but you can get by with an 044 or 040 Bosch

There you have it, a nice, easy, reliable part list.

I pretty much agree with everything that Heslo said.

For an oil cooler get one that sits in the brake ducting rather than in front of the radiator.

As for cost buy from Japan - Nengun, Greenline, Perfect Run, Import Monster or RHD Japan. With the current exchange rate against the greenback check out some USA sites as well and see how they compare.

There is soooo much info on what to do with an RB26 on SAU that you can get lost but you will soon figure out who knows what they're talking about. Most of the oil mods won't happen until you open the engine so start saving for it. Until that time stay off the rev limiter and put an extra litre of oil in for track days or if you intend to do some launches.

Entertaining! Just make sure you have good tyres, I'm running crap street rubber atm and the hills scare the crap out of me. 3rd gear plus boost = sideways, even 4WD does not help

may i ask what rubber? kumho's im guessing? have u ever tried the toyo t1r? if so, how does it compare?

-D

[Matty 31]

any one had any experience with fitting these?

i want to run it with this

in one of these.........

fuel tank in there atm hasnt been used in 3 years, so i hate to see the shit in the bottom, also

need to replace fuel pump anyways....

from what ive been told craig, you'd need a surge tank with that setup as well

the only fuel cell ive seen that doesnt require that is a polycarbonate model from autosport, which im purchasing for the 31 for circuit

[bezender]

20L fuel tank? that will get u to the servo and back.... then ur fkt lol

[craig R33]

why would i drive to the servo?

[bezender]

iced cofee?

Think of tyre brands most people haven't heard of before, I never buy good street tyres, i just use second hand crap. It makes driving more fun

[craig R33]

iced cofee?

correct. well played.

sigh, dont get me started on IC atm..... coles have them for $1.44...

so when i did shoppin thurs night, i bought 15 of em

saves me buying one a day at 3 bucks....

in theory, they should have lasted me 15 days right?

wrong, i have one left.

and f*k it ima drink it nao

[Matty 31]

oh btw craig, the polycarb fuel cell is baffled, and is 60 litres

329 i think it was

[craig R33]

hmmmmm didnt really wanna have such a big cell, but if its gonna save me running a surge tank

it will prob work out to be worth it in the long run.....

do they come smaller?

im chads idol

[DSTROY]

im chads idol

Totally!

Hey Craig, Trent replied in that 17C thread you started in the Forced induction section, Seems it's a bit laggier than first thought with full boost (21psi) @ 4800RPM. That makes it as laggy as a TD06SL2-20G which would put you over the 300kw mark. I guess the old tech' compressor wheel isn't as efficient as the new stuff.

[craig R33]

lucky im not gonna run it then, would be good for dyno queen......

did you still want it? my mate kinda needs the $ haha

[D_Stirls]

Yeah i'll take it, i'm planning on buying a stag' next year so i'll either use it on that, or clean it up, put a kit through it and see if i can make some money selling it on NS, here or on Ebay
