I want to do a similar set up on my car so I have a vacuum source for my pcv.

you know the vacumm source for your PCV is supposed to be in your inlet manifold. Not intake pipe. the intake pipe isn't under vacuum, it's atmospheric.

The pcv hose from the valve cover plugs into the rear inlet on a standard car.

We ended up using a vibrant performance Venturi fitting on the exhaust, and plumb the pcv hose into that. This is so we could just suck and burn the vapours in the exhaust. I doubt there's any useful vacuum from the exhaust but it's certainly a nice routing for the hose. No vapours getting into the cabin vs the vent to atmosphere setup which is great.

Works really well too. Had to run the air con in recirc before fitting it because the cabin would smell like oily exhaust fumes. Now its installed no more fumes

Mod 105 - New front end parts - continued

Has been a long time coming, but finally spcgry is looking fresh again with a new M3 hood, front bar, fenders and a set of Te37s 18s wrapped in PSS4s

Big call out to Vince who gave up his Sunday to help out

Getting the panels and gaps lined up is a pinta fiddly work, took all day to get everything installed, but was worth it in the end...

Ran out time to give it a wash, but was able to snap a few pics before the sun set

Finally a few tips for anyone thinking of having a go at this.....

Get a mate to help, much easier with two people, handling the hood and holding stuff in the right position to get things bolted down.

Make sure you don't tighten everything down right away, you will need to make fine adjustments to get everything lined up.

Be careful not to set the hood to far back when you install it, if you do you risk the corners of the hood digging into your A pillars and scratching the paintwork.

Test your indicators before you bolt your fenders down, nothing worse then having to take everything off because you forgot to connect a plug or something

Finally, is not really hard to do, anyone with a socket set and a screw driver can do this. Give it a go and use the money you save on buying more mods


Enjoy

Pics below

Pic 1 - Taking everything off including the washer water bottle
Pic 2 - One fender installed, always start with the easiest panel first lol
Pic 3 - Ok so not looking so good atm
Pic 4 - Bonnet on, adjusting it left, right, back and forward took ages
Pic 5 - Front bar prepped and ready to install
Pic 6 - Front bar on
Pic 7 - Last of the panels installed
Pic 8 - Transferring the bump stops, hood latches etc from the old hood
Pic 9 - Left installing the hood vents to last... its the little details

As said above the stock vacuum point for the stock PCV system is the stock rear turbo inlet. I wanted to move my intake on my single turbo from the passenger to driver's side so I would have a vacuum source.

Sorry if I missed it but Socket is your inlet pipe 3 or 4 inch? Or I guess 3.5

Duck you know your shit. When does the next record come? 9.5 et?

Its a 3" intake pipe, but I've had to squish a dent in it with a hydraulic press to clear the fan shroud and make it sit lower. The pipe is fairly oval in the middle now. Otherwise bonnet won't clear.

Thank you! Very good to know when I make mine.

I’ve got a stumpy K&N filter that might work on yours. My turbo sits too high to fit mine but depending on how low set your is, it might be a option

Oh you are in the USA Torgus

Look this up in Ebay

Sent the car in for some new rear tires today
PS4 265/35/18

The guy on FB who sold me the TE37s, failed to mention the nail in the rear passenger side or the fact they were 80% worn

Ordered them on Friday and arrived at Traction to have them fitted, only to find out they had no record of my call or order
Clearly I called the wrong shop and I had no idea which shop it was

No matter, the guys at Traction sorted it out and got them in within a couple of hours

Better still there was a mint GTR in the shop at the same time. Sounded great peeling off down the street

30 min later and the new rubber was on and no more slow leaks..... now to fix the rubbing on the rear guards hahaha

[badmanners]

That Skyline has a P-plate on it?

Yep, I was surprised too...... maybe not a real P plater, maybe he just has the P plate on for street cred hahaha

that's the valve cover breather, not PCV, PCV on these runs to the intake ports. PCV and breather are two seperate things.

that's breather, not pcv vacuum, that never see's vacuum. and leave it VTA has no effect on it. other than smell.

Honestly, I'd be annoyed next pass if it was only 9.5, but considering my schedule i'll take what i can get. haha. anyway, this is a place for one hella clean streeter, not talk about my junker lol

My guards are already rolled mate. Vince let me borrow his roller, going to have another go and see if I can flatten them out a bit more....
If you need yours done Trev, i can highly recommend yoda motorsports

Cheers Duck I'm blown away by the power your junkers put out Can't wait to see how this build goes. Hope you get a few nice clean passes and no mechanical failures like last time.... Low 9s or even high 8s this time round for sure
