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.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
