My tuner thought maybe I was getting a little oil mixed with my fuel and lowering my octane levels. So we tried this out. It was actually a really cheap catch can, I think it was $36? But it is actually good quality and works, so I’m happy with it! Plus it has a little screw in dipstick!
I have the same catch can, only in red. I got them pretty cheap as well. I went the distance with them and purchased rubber o-rings to seal the top bolt and the dipsticks. I have two cans and spent less then a $1 on these. They help to keep the airtight seal you need. I also used steel wool to help catch the oil vapor. Here are a few pics of them: Nissan 370Z Forum - Spartan 1771's Album: Dual Oil Catch Cans

Just a few suggestions.

Thanks! I do actually have some steel wool in mine to help catch the oil, but not the o-rings, not a bad idea, I should probably do that!

However mine don’t have that top bolt? What’s it for?

I didn't realize that it was a little different from mine. It can be removed so a breather can be installed.

Honestly, I can't tell you. I brought the dipstick in to the hardware store with me and fitted it before I purchased them.

Great idea... I bought the same cans but ended up not using them because the dipstick wasn't sealed... (bigger problem for me since my cans get pressurized)
