Installation Guide
A Notes
This guide was created specifically for anyone wanting to DIY install this specific Just Jap, D1 Spec oil
catch can, in a Nissan R33 GTST Series II, RB25DET engine bay. The installation guide addresses the
following:
• Custom aluminum mounting bracket
• Catch can connections
• Rocker cover and turbo return connection
• Hose specifications
• Fittings specifications
B The First Steps
The first thing that needs to be done is to throw away the hose, which comes with the catch can. It is
neither long enough, flexible enough, or the right size to fit the brass rocker cover / turbo hose
connections.
The second thing to do is measure the catch can, rocker cover, and turbo connections, and they are
listed as follows:
• Catch can connections are 5/8” UNF male thread (this is for the 15mm catch can only)
• Rocker cover and turbo return connection s are 16.5mm I.D. tube (suitable for ‐10 AN hose and
fittings)
C Oil Catch Can Referenced
The oil catch can referenced in this document, is a square, D1 Spec oil catch can, as presently sold by
Just Jap (and others), with 15mm connections.
D Installation Methodology
The method of connecting the catch can was discussed with various workshops, and High Performance
Imports Magazine tech through JR and Cam.
There were five different options to consider, and we decided on the configuration pictured below for
the install method, as the best option for the PCV.
E Custom Mounting Bracket
To carry out this work, a 300mm x 300mm x 2mm thick polished aluminum sheet is required from your
local scrap metal dealer. We picked one piece up for $4.
A cardboard shape was created to generally fit the three fixing points on the drivers’ side strut tower.
These connection points all suit 6mm dia’ x 15mm UNF high tensile steel bolts, so you will need 3 x bolts
and 6 x washers to suit.
Tools needed:
• Jigsaw with blade suitable for metals
• Small rasp / file for edge smoothing of aluminium
• Marker pen
• Electric drill and 6mm drill bit
(Refer to the attached pictures for template creation and mounting positions)
F Hose Connections
You will find that the nozzle which comes with the catch can, has 5/8” UNF thread connections with
15mm hose barb. This barb size does not match the 16.5mm connections to the rocker cover and turbo
return barbs, so you cannot use the same hose size straight off. So, if your thinking your brand spanking
new oil catch can, will be installed on the day, think again.
To make these connection air tight, we talked to the people at Motorsport Connections
http://www.mscn.com.au/Scripts/prodList.asp and VPW Performance
http://www.vpw.com.au/category.asp who both specialize in providing performance products and
services, including hoses and connectors, specifically, the threaded barbs, hose fittings, hose ends,
adaptors and low pressure oil hose we needed.
The parts list used for the actual connections and hoses are as follows:
F.1 Hoses
400 Series Push On – Aeroquip (Black or Blue in colour)
Motorsport Connections stocks only the best quality push on hose
designed to be used with re‐usable 400 Series aluminium hose ends.
The Aeroquip Pushlock hose provides excellent protection and
resistance in low pressure applications. Constructed from a seamless
synthetic elastomer tube with a textile braid reinforcing and a blue
rough finish CPE elastomer cover, this hose has a high resistance
to extreme heat and fire. It can be used with all synthetic lubricants,
fuel, oils, coolants and methanol.
