Nismo Style Gtr Catch Cans

[BIT SUS]

Attention all GTR owners!

We've all seen the Nismo Oil/Air Separators (catch cans)

They are a fully legal, closed loop (plumb back) oil separator, that returns the collected oil back to the sump via the rear turbo drain:

Stolen from Nismo Site:

Blow-by gas exiting the combustion chamber can mix with engine oil and return during the intake stroke. While under normal condition oil collects in the intercooler, blowback can cause parts related to intake, such as the airflow meter, to become dirtied by oil. The NISMO oil separator separates the oil from the blowback gases returning from the cylinder head during the intake stroke, decreasing the amount of oil deposited in the intercooler. Because it is designed to return the separated oil to the oil pan, the oil separator also decreases motor oil consumption. The blowback gases are returned to the engine and are not released to the atmosphere, making this a valuable device for automobile inspection procedures.

Now, these bad boys retail for around the $600 mark from Nengun, Ebay, and RHDJapan.com

I've spoken to a fabricator mate of mine, and we both reckon we can knock a few of these up for alot less than $600.

At this stage, I'm going to put set the initial estimate on price for a kit at ~$300 each + postage. *Please not this may change*

This will get you basically what you see above.

We are located in North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide, and will be starting the first catch can this xmas break.

Once the first one is completed (for me!) I will gladly post up photos, a more accurate price per item, and then taking official orders.

So, who is interested in a fully street legal oil / air separator for a GTR?

Nigel.

I'll follow your progress Nigel but won't commit until my current catch can has been inspected as it is currently leaking and spraying oil in the engine bay. If the current can is determined unfixable/useless then I'd be interested to see what you and your mate can fabricate and how successful it is under track conditions.

As I said I'll follow with interest.
