All it does is prevents a good engine getting clagged up with oil.
This is all that we were trying to do Andrew after seeing the amount of oil inside the manifold when Jalal, Noel & Brett fitted their TBS.

I'm going to pop a oil trap in line wit the PCV to manifold to see what sort of quantities we are talking about for the next couple of months. If it is excessive I'll let you all know.
Either way Andrew, I think it would be worth posting anything on oil amounts caught, manifold cleanliness, engine running changes, etc you find as we are all learning about this part of our QR25DE engine.

Re: Oil Catch Cans
ModYourCar.com.au has oil catch cans from $89 - $189 depending on make and size.
Fitting should be relatively easy as it connects inplace of the vacuum hose which connects between the rocker cover and the intake manifold, being able to be screwed or bolted almost anywhere in the engine bay within reach of the piping.
Noel posted some pics on the first page of this thread and with Andrew is going to do a test soon I'm sure he will post pics of his install as well.

Interesting topic guys: from my experience I would think that the blow by oil from an NA engine especially a Nissan engine would be very minimal particularly if it is serviced at the correct intervals.
Phil, there is still a fair amount of gunk that can build-up in the intake. Here is what I had in mine (regularly serviced exy)

Re: Oil Catch Cans
Phil,
I am not sure about the impacts in terms of warranty but can't see this mod being any more serious than a CAI which Nissan don't mind.
If I decide to put one of these gadgets in my engine bay, it'll be to try and reduce the accumulation of that gunk as much as possible. I don't think it has any impact on performance of the car, but it is better for the engine in the long run.
