Hi all,

I bought a Hi Octane Catch tank for an R34 GT-R, and just wanted to ask you guys which oil lines you recommend I should use to go to the breathers, like brands and where I can get from etc?

Cheers,

Glen

I used Aeroflow 400 series rubber oil line with Aeroflow pushlock -10AN fittings on my GTS-T mainly because they don't draw much attention, look good in black and being a non-braided line (which really isn't necessary for a crankcase breather) the whole ordeal was fairly cheap, obviously the fittings are a little bit expensive, but if you're buying fittings anyway it doesn't really matter

EDIT: as to where i purchased my stuff, i got it from rocket industries in sydney, but you can find all the items on ebay and other online stores

Thanks for the reply guys, so with my Catch tank the fittings are threaded, so does that mean I have no choice but to use Aeroflow or Earls fittings etc?

Like I cant just use rubber hose and clamp?

Cheers,

Glen

Correct you will need fittings not just rubber/clamp. If you tried rubber/clamp on those threaded fittings it won't work very well. You need to work out what AN size they are, I think High Octane racing mention the sizes on the product description. As a side note, I know you can purchase a High Octane catch can without the threaded fittings, designed for rubber/clamps so not sure if you knew that was available or not.

The engine covers which have your PCV valves would then need to be changed to fittings also most likely, which you can weld on. The PCV valves correspond to AN-16 size from memory, any smaller would be a restriction.

Unless someone has tried fittings on the catch can and just clamped at the PCV valve side, I personally don't know how well braided line would sit on the standard PCV valve outlets. The way Jordy has his catch can setup would be the ideal way if you go down the route of fittings on the engine covers and catch can.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
