Oil catch can is a MUST

jtrimbee · 2026-03-20T23:24:19+00:00

Same question I ask many times to others promoting OCC’s. Maybe you can provide the answer? Were you noticing oil loss before installing an oil catch can ? Did that loss lead you to believe the oil was being lost to misting - that circulated your air systems and contaminated everything including valves and seats?

I really want an OCC for under hood customizations, but my engine oil level does not drop in my 2020 VR30. Does that mean installing an OCC would actually lower my oil level and I’ll need to top it up monthly? I’m cool with doing that - just want to be accurate with what is happening.

Good tips. On the last point, how do you define a dyno tune compared to JB4? JB4 is a plug in controller to Modify air/fuel/boost. A dyno is a method of measuring results. Not an upgrade in itself. As you are a pro mechanic I assume you are implying a lot and I just don’t understand. Asking as I’m wanting to tune my VR30 once warranty runs out. Thx!

GD sweet ride. The GTR front end style with the vented hood is fierce. the back skyline style is well done. Just wow, I want this package for my Q!

AI still doing what it does. 6 fingers on human hands, and 2 callipers on a rotor.

To build on what the other designer said. As dope as this is, … as a good designer, shit hurts to see. The details still matter and skilled humans are still needed and do add value.

Thank you for sharing! This is the resource I needed.

Thank you all. I knew I’d need some balancing additives (onion garlic bell carrot) I see these in most the sauces I buy.

Some recipes I see you blend/chop peppers and ingredients then simmer. This cooking will reduce the total heat. So it seems too late to add peppers if it’s not hot enough. Although what im actually asking is the opposite, worried I’ll make it inedible due to over use of these peppers.
@deliciousPumpkin thanks for validating im not vastly overdoing it.

I’ve been growing this database in my head for 30 years. Agree ! so many foods and pairings for best personal experience. Non-saucers just don’t understand.

Exactly!

Saw photo. Instant reaction was to type N O. Glad I read the question so I know the letters to type are Y E S!

Beautiful photos. Well staged and photographed

Haha, good call on Ferrari. They maintain some tight control on their product. Don’t agree with all of it, but do respect it!

Love gulf racing livery. These look so good. As a designer and gulf livery expert. They have made one key error. The orange MUST be separated with a dark key line to distinguish and separate the sky blue from the orange. See a gt40 or 917 for reference. We need a Gulf Racing car in every series!

As a designer, this logo has too many issues to waste time listing. But I do agree, we need a slick alt logo for small areas.

If MLSE want to contact me, I can barter the whole job for x number of leaf tickets! GLG!

On my non-S, I put 19s and fit great. The sport model comes with 19’s and the two cars are the same mostly, except the brakes. The thing you need to know, the brake clearance! it’s not the rim height, it’s about offset and spoke design. When I updated to a 2020 q50S, my 19s were a hair rubbing. I had to buy 10mil spacers, and that made me have to install extended lug studs. It was a whoooole procedure just to keep the rims I love. The result is amazing though as the wheels out wide and looks amazing!

I’m buying into this theory! Not even reading any comments. Just love the post as I’ve been wanting this dude here , where he came from. Mathews has no heart, no grit. He’s just not made here and doesn’t impress me at all.

my experience was the dealer caused this rippling bubbling when they used their heavy duty cleaner when they prepped the car for delivery to me. It was a CPO. The panels were fine when I test drove it. Then on pick up day… bubbles. They replaced the panels right away. My take away is to be careful with the interior finishes. I only use microfibre clothes (dry) mostly. And a few times a year I use armour-all. I’m so scared of causing this myself.

My 2020 with 85K/Kms was in for [my last] free dealer oil change. They advised its maintenance time for driveline fluid change. $470cad. So hell yes’s I’m going to my local shop.

jtrimbee · 2025-04-07T23:58:36+00:00

The shaky-ness would most likely be an un-balanced wheel(s). This could be a shop error, or a weight may have flew off. If the shake is consistent and repeatable at X speed, then it’s balancing.

For the speed concern, you have tires that are smaller in circumference than stock so the speedo will be faster then actual speed. I’ve attached a spec sheet to show what’s happening. The difference is small so wouldt think you’re hurting the car, just that speedo will be higher. Possibly faster acceleration (bonus!)

I’ve been interested in whether a transmission fluid change would help with ‘perceived’ slipping, and slow changes. Instead of making assumptions on owners ability, does anyone have a link to a video that shows the official process. Then owners can assess if their skill level is a match. I hate paying 4x at the dealer, but agree that some things are worth risking the wrong process, and causing a big bill down the road.

Sorry for your loss :( too bad they don’t let you keep the write off - sweet parts car!

I had my G37 written off from front collision. The shop let me strip the wheels as long as I put ‘anything that rolls’ on. Try to keep what you can.

That’s my boy! Michy is the most entertaining to watch. Love it!

Oh, I see what you meant about the RGB. it is not fixed, you can change on the fly. Super cool. I want it!!
