dont think anything we do as enthusiasts to our cars is "Needed" but we have these cars to tweak them and do upgrades too. So, needed..... no, not really, but will it hurt anything, absolutely not

i ordered the saikou michi 370z oil catch cans too.. i ordered it around 4 weeks ago and i was given a 5 week estimate time before i receive mine.. looks promising and i cant wait to get mine!

But why would I want to run my oil vapors and PCV through my coolant tank??

Sarcasm just in case.

I love the way your setup came out I just haven't decided if I'm going to do catch cans yet as I haven't seen any oil usage at all in my system (like not even a little) so I'm not really sure how much of any oil I would capture in the cans if I did it. If I do in going your route, plenty of space since the intakes are gone.

Thanks bro!
Well its for preventive maintanance so that decision is up to u. In my case before i upgraded i had some small jegs catch cans on each side. Draining them became tedious and annoying af. But then again i am boosted. I got myself the alpha air oil separator for the gtr and bad it retrofitted. I dont have to drain anymore w this one.
I just wanted to make people aware of "admintuning" and that he can create custom coolant tanks and catch cans at your desired measurements.

Did you install yours on the crankcase vent tubes (rear) or the PCV tubes towards the front?

the catch can can be used as single, but usually prefered as dual, on the single you need Y connectors, cuz u have 1 catch can and two intakes.

this mod here on N/A engine only good as preventetive maintenance so your throttle bodies dont get gunk stuck to it. And you dont have to clean it so often.
