im talking about oil from the actual engine through the breather pipe @ the top of the motor which is routed directly to the s/c unit.

The breather that is leaking oil is the one inside the red circle.

the v3 has its own traction oil which is red and stinks!! lol if your SUPERCHARGER oil is coming from that breather your oil level is overfilled OR the s/c unit is damaged, sadly if you have oil coming from the breather the s/c is most likely already damaged.... ive had a supercharger unit replaced as it was blowing oil out the breather, this was caused by my tuner who damaged the internal seal when they swapped out my pulley....... im pleased to say i got a brand new blower under warranty....... this is an Unpressurised unit hence the breather system, if your blowing oil its been pressurised, which is usually internal seal damage, these superchargers will not stand being overfilled.... pulley changes have to be done with utmost care!! drop ess a message and you'll see they will tell you , you have a serious issue......

install was easy but needed patience, took a while to measure up all the hosing ect ect the good thins was the hosing is so stiff the unit is supported by the stiffness of the hoses, so i only needed to locate the Catch can braket somewhere to keep it "steady", i found the perfect little spot back their on my RHD car, for you, you have plenty of space on the passenger side......
i will post better pics today hopefully.

During that spin and at 60mph at 6th gear on a highway, a GTR (R35) reached to my rear very fast and gave me several high beams flashes. I immediately downshifted to 3rd and smashed the throttle. Till top of 4th gear the GTR was getting behind to about 6 cars lenghts. After that i gave up because i needed to exit the highway. I guess i gave him a lesson not to mess with other cars... I really like your catch can. Too bad it is such expensive compared to other. Where did you bought yours and what was the final price with shipping and custom duties.

Nissan was very smart with the marketing of the car but a stock R35 is not what most people say or think. Same as a stock supra that don't impress at all. Pros: 1. Amazing gearbox which allows to be very fast in lower gears. Besides being very quick between gears change, it remains the boost level. 2. AWD provide awesome grip at lower gears. 3. Engine reliability and a very good base to tune. Cons: 1. It is a heavy pig. 2. It is lazy above 130mph compared with other stock cars with similar power levels (BMW, Porsche, Ferrari...). 3. AWD system puts less power to wheels.

I was just joking man, I don't mind the chatter
I'm due for my 3rd supercharger oil change. No long term reliability issues, no negatives. I wish it had more torque in the higher gears, but that will eventually be fixed with more boost. I'm trying to retro-fit a sound generator for that extra supercharger sound in the cabin As you know, there is a lot more air coming out of the exhaust than stock, so with catless headers, the stock exhaust sounds good and fairly loud at WOT. I'd eventually like to go catless in the section 2, but I'm a little worried about noise levels. I use the car daily, just let the RPMs drop below 1000 before driving away. Great drivability

I'd LOOOOOVE to get this TPMS from Stack, to know when my tire temps are optimal for traction at the track and when doing standing starts. But if you thought the original gauges were expensive, check out the punch in the balls on this one
http://thmotorsports.com/stack/stack.../i-394774.aspx Once I re-design the audio system, I'd like to get a gauge pod in place of the navigation screen I'm also toying with the idea of setting up a heating element next to the rear tires so they warm up while I'm driving around. Something around 400 watts on each side. Kinda silly, but I like to think outside the box.
