Did a search and couldn't find a topic like this.

 

Any way, did a catch can install on my GT-T yesterday and nI now have a check engine light on... and dont know what the problem is. Its plumbed from the cam breathers to a tee piece to join them together, going into the 'in' on the can, then the 'out' going back to the intake before the turbo. Have I dont it wrong? Id check for a pcv but tbh I have no clue where or what it is. Any better suggestions for a closed loop system or and help would be great! 

Thanks in advance guys!

Take a photo and post it.

The Nissan pipe will have a small orifice (Restrictor) in is.  Does your new piping?

PCV = Positive Crank ventilation.  When you have manifold vacuum it will suck the blowby out of the sump.  It is usually on the exhaust cam side of the engine half way along.  What did you do to the piping on this side?

Tbh this is my first import and im quite new to dealing with them. The engine is NEO not sure if that matters. It seems to run perfectly well.. actually better... boost is more obvious and same with power. But with the check engine light on im worried if i continue driving it as my daily I'll damage something expensive :'( As you can see in the picture its just a basic setup to be considered legal so if this is wrong please let me know of a better way? 

Cheers!

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
