Oil Catch Can Diy Installation


TR33GT-001
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, sorry to dig this thread up but just bought myself a 'Drift' oil catch can from autobarn. (Not sure if these are any good brand wise..)

It will be going on an rb20det when she is running again.

This is an installation guide for a rb25? I believe?

My question - Is it the same size hoses etc. to install this onto an rb20? And really $80 for the catch can and over $400 for hoses/connections? :/

Hi bud,

I am far from an expert on rb20dets as i have only worked on my rb25det but as best i understand they are the same for this DIY mod.

as far as oil catch cans are concerned that one you have bought is fine..... however the overkill in this instance with the $400 on all the speed fittings etc is not necessary as the catch can has very little pressure. so you could use just braided clear hose if you like, however its probably not the best material.

Now you can get proper braided oil hose from Repco or a local hydraulic supplier as long as its oil resistant other wise it may deteriorate over a long period of time.

as for nifty fifty fittings to replace your stock cam cover outlets contact this bloke on the forums - (to be advised 'waiting on a mate' to get back to me) :)

Depending on your budget you can have the catch can plumbed back into your sump so you never have to drain it when it gets full.

Good luck with the mod.

Sweet! Cheers for that man, also wasn't aware I could also plumb in back into sump.

I will be shooting that guy a pm shortly, I gather just tell him what I'm doing and what I need?

Thanks again

Yeh bud just tell him they're the cam cover breathers. couldn't think of the term when i wrote this up the other night.

And also if you are in brisbane looking for hoses try Powell behind Repco at coopers plaines.

my 32 has previously had a catch can (was SUPPOSED to be still on there when i bought the car) and im having trouble locating the pcv, is it supposed to be at the top of the engine or bottom? curently have a hose from the passenger side cam breather just hanging free currently, so will be hopefully installing a catch can in the near future, but as said, having trouble with the pcv.

Rb 20 det:

Can $40, hose $12

Hey, with your GK-Teck cooling panel.. Did it look to you as if the flange thingo where you put the bolts through, where bent very unprofessionally?

Lol got mine the other day and it was scratched, and where it's bent looked like someone took to it with a hammer.

Was very unimpressed. :(

Ha, yes they are dodgy, but its cheap and saves me making my own.

I had to give mine a bit of a tweak to get it to fit.

some inspiration, this is my engine bay & how I've set it up... simple :)

Plazmaman intercooler? My pipework hits the bonnet in the same place too

    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
    • Yeah, so try to post images with extensions that the internet can handle, not HEIC files which only arstyphones can handle.
    • I have two questions here, The first is regarding the harness attached to the power window and central locking control on the drivers door. I can't understand why the previous owner would join these wires together on the harness and why they did such a shit job. There was a wire with 10v hanging in the open un insulated. The OEM remote control works just fine The second is regarding the blue, green wire attached to what I believe is the lock actuator? These were running to the old immobiliser connected to the 'UNLOCK - COM' and 'LOCK - COM' wires. I imagine COM means communication and they just send a signal to the immobiliser whether the car is locked/unlocked?  IMG_9032.HEIC IMG_9037.HEIC IMG_9038.HEIC IMG_9041.HEIC
