Get a sports drink bottle. Cut out two holes and insert vacuum fittings. Attach crank case vacuum lines to the fittings. Leave the cap off the bottle and let it vent. Mount it anywhere.

Seriously, it isn't rocket science, there aren't any moving parts in a catch can. Be innovative and make your own out of something lying around the house.

I sell aluminum Generic ones for 36, it's better then looking all rigged together. while I agree $5 worth of PVC pipe, and 2 fittings work fine, it's only marginally less expensive and you still need a check,valve

look at the one I have on the GB for $36 it's nice for the scratch

I'll post the Nissan specific stuff tomorow but there is so much of it I can't keep up.

Just send me a PM, I'm going to collect all the money in 5 days when the GB is 1/2 over or we hit $3000 in orders. I'll add you to the list for two... and we are that much closer. to ordering everything.. worst case If we are not close to hitting the $3000 after 5 days i just won't charge anyone. (I doubt that highly)

you can watch the status HERE
