Hy guys I was browsing in Autobarn today and saw these little fellas.
They are called air breathers, and they are smaller versions of a pod filter. The filter size is slightly bigger than a 50 cent coin.
Anyone knows whut are they ancd care to explain their function?
Thanks!
I dunno aye....

Is it? Any good?
Any pics showing their application?
hang on, skyline's and silvias always have them, so look for under bonnet shots... we have a catch can on the race car, so I will look in our archives

Whoa...okay....okay since I am curious, and a ill knowledged guy, what does an oil catch tank do?
well, it separates air from oil... catches excess... its a safty thing...
DAVE, i know you are here.... answer....
Well, these breathers..besides teh oil catch tank...no other applications?
oh, I' sure they prolly do other things
riceboys prolly hang them from their rear vision mirrors instead of air fresheners
oh! now i get it!!
