[tony78]

hey all can anyone tell me where i am able to buy a provent 200 catch can and everything else required to fit it in brisbane and also what im looking at for the price.thanks in advance

Ebay it dude. I just got one for $170 pp.

[tony78]

hey mudski i saw those but you will still need the kit to hook it up which all together is $299.

What kit mate? All you will need extra is some hose and maybe some fittings... Won't be another $130 for that. Lucky if it's $30.

Edit : Ah just saw the rip off kit they are selling too. For starters the "oil resistant silicone hose" they are selling in that kit won't be oil resistant. I used to wholesale this hose to companies like them a few years back. Oil is silicone's no.1 enemy. Better off with oil resistant rubber IMO. Oil will make the silicone layers made up in the hose separate from the fibre strand that holds it together.
They've given you a list of whats in the kit, price it up from a hose place. I garuntee it will be a lot less.
Silicone is great for water hoses, but nothing thats sold on Ebay and in most speed shops for that fact are good enough to be used for oil. Even turbo hoses. Silicone can withstand great pressures that what rubber can but when it comes in contact with oil, rubber will outlast it anyday.
There is oil resistant silicone hose you can buy, but it costs more than the extra they are charging. Be careful!!!!
This is where I used to work a few years ago. We sold the cheap silicone hose to compete with the garbage sold these days, and sold the real deal to most large trucking manufactuers, e.g Kenworth, also bus companies and any large company with dollars at stake.

Yeah mate, go eBay for 170 bucks and get some hoses and clamps from your local. Should not cost you more then 200 all up

[tony78]

has anyone got some pics they can put up of the finished install please???

[mudski]

I got mine but have yet to install it. I want to clean up the engine bay still first. One more heater hose to do. Nissan got real lazy when they put the new engine in. Shite everywhere. But I'll be mounting it on the firewall, left side.

Hey nisspat, I see you have a new troll. Do you still need to do these prehistoric mods to the new ones?

[tony78]

when did you have to put the new engine in and why take it to nissan.must have cost you a packet mudski

[mudski]

Warragul Nissan did it a couple of years back. The previous owner had it done as it "grenaded", so they had to put a whole new motor in. Not rebuild it. Cost about 12k by memory.
