hey guy first post so gimme a break lol, I just got a 32 gtst w rb20,ok first thing is I plumbed the catch can properly ie t'd the pipes on the rocker covers and ran that to the can and the other pipe to the pcv, now its sucking air from where the dip stick is, to the point its still sucking when the engines turned off I know vaccume is good but geese, also its having trouble idleing, it revs erraticly sometimes and pops and farts, it has an exhaust leak at the dump would that do it? Any help will be appreicated, cheers.

your setup looks right, is ur dip stick poping out and if so it could be blow by (if u dont know what blow by is it is when ur rings r on ther way out and the boost pressure makes it way pass the rings and presurise the sump) if u think its that turn ur boost down ur boost might be to high for the age of the motor. and if u dont think its that f**ks me what it is ;p

your setup looks right,

Don't think so. The PCV should connect directly to the RH (driver's) rocker cover (as Nissan installed it). The other side of the can then connects to the intake pipe, just in front of the turbo.

Oh ok, so the pcv has nothing to do with the catch can? Also the idle things starting to annoy me :s the tps isnt working properly, it will read 10.8v or 13.4 nothing in between. Oh yea and it had engine oil inside it.

You are sucking the catch can gasses into the plenum right? Put the PCV back and plumb the catch can into the turbo intake like it was before you stuffed around with it.

Yea its plumbed into the pcv, the can had a breather on it thats why I stuffed around with it lol. I just read an article about pcv valves on rb's and the fact there only open at idle/vacumm oh well lear from ya mistakes ay. Anyone with ideas on the idle situation?

Have you checked for all your vac lines for leaks?My 32 almost stalls every time I pull up, and another guy I know his 32 did the same until he got a nistune.Maybe take the throttle body off & give it a clean out. Just an idea.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
