oil catch can

[nissaner]

i am looking for an oil catch can coz i am going to the eastern creek track day next thursday and people recommended to get the oil catch can to be safe...

i bought the trust one from advan imports on monday but it was universal one, turns out that hose is too small for a gtr...so i refunded... bought the cusco one which was also universal one, and the hose is still too small for a gtr...

anyone fitted an oil catch can to a gtr? what brand did u use? maybe custom hosing??? dunno... very confused... coz on the cusco oil catch tank box, it says it should fit r33 gtr but it doesn't...

my mechanic told me to just make a dodgy one using coke can and hose as an emergency item and make proper custom one for future...

what u guys think???

That's funny. I got a Trust one and it fits. It's got two 15mm in/out ports. I also know that there is one which has smaller ports. You have to get some piping lines. Go to Earls Hoses which is close by to Advan. I brought some braided lines for $90/meter.

Nissaner: hehe i rang Advan last sat to order a heap of those Greddy units, they ere out of stock of the 15mm units and only have the 9mm for NA cars... so no it wouldnt fit...

im waiting on stock... how much they quote you?

[nissaner]

$225.... i actually bought it then refunded it... was that 9mm that i bought??? no wonder it had civic si as an installation example... how much u bought the 15mm ones each???? can i have one?

You know whats really funny is that Greedy don't make oil catch cans??? I know the ones you guys have, I have seen them on the net, JMS, ADVAN, EvolutionR etc. But on the TRUST Japan site there is no mention and no one in Japan knows about them. Weird.

Boost: that is strange......

Nissaner: im going to put a large order in via UAS as for the price they are a damn good unit. Not sure on turn around but i can let you know when they come in if you like.

for a tad cheaper maybe as well

I have one of those, Trust/Greddy USA make them, very well made

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Mystery solved:D

[nissaner]

yup people from the big states make them... guess they had to be different?? its about the only catch can which is rectangular shape...

[Blitz]

If anyone wants the Greddy 15mm Oil Catch tank kit I have one left from my order.

Brand new

Price is $230

pm me if interested

[nissaner]

got the cusco one at $275 from american auto parts at homebush... it actually fits... got it installed before i went to eastern creek last thursday...

nick, don't they sell the greddy ones at $225 at advand?? thats what i paid last time...

[Blitz]

Nissaner: wouldnt know.

Advans suggested RRP for these is $250 so if you got for $225 thats a pretty sweet price.

if your good with a welder, then weld up a box, i used a peice of metal tubing (patio tube) with a fixed end, and a removable end.

Put a couple of screw in hose tails, at the size you need, fill it with steel wool, paint it and fit it. Good thing is you can make it custom fit your car, and it costs bugger all.
