u guys can go on mishis site and see wat the cans they current sell cost. its gonna cost about that much

user 3587587

This is a good question. Is the catch can going to be a couple generic mishimoto ones with a bracket? Because if so I hope it doesn't cost anywhere near as much as the catch can built by AdminTuning.

Be hilarious if it was $101 shipped.

There are members here who will have no problem paying $100+ for a good looking piece. We know y'all won't buy one so why keep harping on it?

I definitely won't lol. We will see how the quality and fitment is along with price but I'll probably end up getting one. I just dropped some $$ on some nice burnt Ti products from Mazterpiece Automotive (check them out on IG, Facebook, beautiful stuff). My dressupbolts.com kits will be up for sale soon so when that goes I'll probably swipe this up if it's out.

Case. In. Point. Thank you, sir, for speaking up.

Btw, that was a third-person "y'all" aimed at the poor carping at the price of quality.

I found a penny on the ground yesterday, so I could do as much as $100.01 now.

I don't mind paying $$$'s for a hi quality component as long as its' value is of equal or higher for the $$$'s spent.

With that said..... I've decided to wait to see what the final product turns out to be (cost/value/... etc...).

Is blow by really an issue on our cars? I've been here 6 years and I don't ever remember this topic popping up


The OP sounds like a copy>paste of a bunch of some marketing material, and IMO loses credibility when claiming our engines are direct injected.


I searched around over on the 370 board, and my observations is that this is really only needed on forced induction motors.

Mishimoto 370Z Direct Fit Catch Can Thread - Nissan 370Z Forum


I'm just a skeptic. Or an idiot. Maybe both. Probably both



I'd like more details, and for OP to confirm country of origin for the catch cans. Are these manufactured domestically, or imported from China?

Mishimoto

So, included with the cans is a bracket specifically designed for the G37 (and we have one also for the 370Z) as well as application specific, pre-formed hoses, not to mention a life time warranty

We'll also be offering this kit on a discounted presale with the option to finance

Glad to hear you guys are willing to stick around to see the final product! I'll have more info and content on our production kit coming soon!

I'll be the first to admit that I did get the facts mixed up on the direct injected part for sure, and totally understand the loss in credibility.

That being said, from what we saw on our test vehicle, blow-by can be a bit of an issue on these cars, as it is on most modern vehicles. Where as the port injection does thwart the carbon build up for a while, you could still run into issues down the line, especially for those who do decide to run FI at some point.

As for the country of origin for our cans, we design, carefully inspect, and test all of our products right here at our R&D facility in New Castle Delaware. The components for this kit are in fact made in China, but under the strict control of our American operated Shanghai office, who ensure the quality of our products before we release them to you guys.


I'll have more info on the full production kit coming soon! In fact we're installing it on our loaner G37 this afternoon

No offense Nick, but this seems intentionally vague.

How many miles on your loaner car, is it stock, and is it the only example you've used to evaluate the catch can on?

Are these cans universal with a custom bracket?

Mishimoto

None taken! The only reason I'm leaving some of the details out is because I'm saving that info for our next blog update

We did only run our testing on the G that I photographed, it's a 2012 with about 85k miles. I'll get more into our testing with the next update though!

And the mounting bracket that I had posted with the original design plans was our first prototype, just to get a gauge on how we would be fixing these cans to the car. Our production kit is going to include a custom designed bracket, and also come with application specific hoses to make installing a breeze.

I have more info on the kit coming for you guys soon!

Whoa. Wait a minute.... we may need to FINANCE something made in China?! Well, this had better be pretty amazing, because right now, things are not looking great.

Mi built my own using catch can meant for air tools. The plastic dome that catches the blow by is maybe 3-4 ounces at most but you just unscrew and empty. Cost was 10 bucks to make. Bought fuel line and catch
