The jap (boss) way of fitting catchcan setup to RB20's. Two catchcans like a boss. (what does the jap say?)

1st catchcan separates oil from blowby gas and drains oil to sump via a drain under 1st catchtank (green line in above photo). The 2nd catchcan catches left over oil (if any) and clean blowby gas (no oil) gets sucked back into intake pipe infront of turbo from 2nd catch tank.

That person with dual catchtank setup on his RB20DET always had a problem with a single catchcan filling with oil and had to pit every 2x laps. The addition of 1st catch tank was the solution, where oil drains back to sump and engine doesn't lose oil. Loss of oil in sump could could have resulted in oil starvation, engine failure. Also he doesn't have to pit every 2x laps.

Catchtank size is important due to blowby gas slowing down enough, so oil can be separated. Catch tank size is based off capacity of engine (amount of blowby gas), so catchtank varies in size from a RB20 to RB30 engine.

You'll see a dual catch tank setup on Mines R34GTR. Now you understand why it has 2x catchtanks and why the catchtanks are a certain size. Mines go one step further by fitting baffle plates to cam covers to separate oil from blowby gas before it exits camcovers.

Mines have copied others that having been doing the 2x catchtank setup since the 80's on Group-A RB20DET racecars, Group-A R32 GTRS, etc, but modified it slightly

    • @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar       
    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
