Ya. Might not be needed but I ain't pulling throttle bodies every 30k miles to clean them cause of oil getting in the intake.

 

I have a pic from my G35.

 

those are some big hoses, how often do you have to emtpy it?

 

I made a custom mount for my GReddy catch can. It's mounted but no hoses are connected. I'm waiting for some 3/8" hoses from Summit

 

I originally checked every month but now check it every oil change and just a couple tea spoons come out...maybe less.I put steel wool in mine as it has a clear shot in and out and the wool helps catch the vapors too.

 

some pics of mine

 

How did you hook that up? I'm interested!

 

look good. where the hoses connect to? more pic hoses connect

 

I still haven't connected the hoses actually. I ordered 3/8" hoses from Summit but they got lost in the mail so I'm working on that right now.

However, the installation is actually different on my car. On my G35 HR, there is a vacuum port (for PCV) that goes from the passenger side valve cover and connects to another port in the back of the plastic plenum.

For the VHR, you actually have two PCV vacuum ports, one on each valve cover, and each port is connected to another port at the front of the plastic plenum.

VHR




For the VHR, you'll need to modify your catch can so that it has two ports for each, or you can get an ARC oil catch can/coolant reservoir combo tank that already has dual ports for the VHR.

 

Couple more pics

 

SO, if you dont get the arc, and dont wanna modify the can, youll have to buy 2?

A better question, is HOW to modify the catch can?

 

Here is an option from AMS Motorsports.

VIBRANT PERFORMANCE OIL CATCH CAN - 370Z / G37

 

avosg37 is correct; there really isn't any room for an oil catch can.
Attached pictures for mine installed on my Skyline 250GT

Catch can #1 located inside the brake fluid reservoir compartment (First OCC Small.JPG)

Catch can #2 replaced the stock airbox. This was only possible because the aftermarket intake freed up space. I used the mounting hole for the original airbox and a generic L-bracket (Second OCC small.JPG)

There is a fair amount of oil drained. This is the contents of my catch can after approx 10,000km (6,250 miles) (OCC Contents small.JPG)

Time to have the dealer do an oil consumption test.
Looks like the piston rings are pretty worn out.

 

How many miles do you have on your G? that's a lot of oil for 6,000 miles
