Those are exactly the same ones you posted from Grainger, I just sprayed them with black paint.

Just got my catch can today.

I know the Mishimoto'$ were more expensive but just didn't feel like fooling with the extra ports, very simple install.

Looks great.. I also would have preferred the 2-port but I can't stand the idea of giving Mishimoto money... particularly since they are just badging a generic product but telling the world they "engineered" it.

Flushed my oil cans today, after 1000 miles of installation, with my oil change:

The picture is from the driver side. Passenger side was practically empty. I feel like this is a lot of oil from only 1000 miles.

well it only took like 7 months, but I finally got around to installing my catch cans... Please excuse my filthy engine compartment.

Won't get to test drive for a while unfortunately... Right now my car is stranded in the garage as they are redoing my driveway... should be done Monday or Tuesday but I'm traveling all week for work anyway.

All of you guys with the Mishimoto or similar catch cans... excellent choice. I had them installed before selling the car.

Huge lesson learned was when I initially purchased the cheap GodSpeed universal catch cans - vacuum leaks galore! I tried using epoxy to seal it up however I could, but still heard the hissing noise. Next huge lesson learned was silicone vacuum lines for PCV routing. The lines would "sweat" oil, get soft, and break at the clamps causing idle to jump all over the place.

Just FYI for anyone considering the Mishimoto catch can kit. The can bracket will not fit on 2018 370s. Not sure about 17s but Nissan changed the design of the expansion tank for some reason.

what size diameter hose is the generic Mishimoto amazon can and also the crack case end? are they the same hose diameter size?

jdinh701 · 10-29-2018, 02:00 AM

Also what is a good hose material to re place with?
