Not a bad idea but what are you going to do with your dipstick?

Can anyone please send me a link to the Home Depot oil catch can?
I live in the fuc|<king woods and the closest home depot is like an hour away so I'd like to purchase it online.
I searched on the Home Depot website but couldn't find it...

Alright, I bought one at Lowe's and just installed it. Went for a little ride +/- 20 miles, and most of the pinging around 2000rpm is now gone
Question: Those of you who have the catch can, what do you do with the oil in the catch can? Dump it or pour it back in the engine (if it's clean of course...)

HF PCV Catch Can
I liked the Home Depot catch can idea. So I did this mod with a Harbor Freight mini air filter (nice little unit for $7.00) for about $15.00 total in parts. I did mine a little differently and mounted the filter on the inlet snorkel, used 1/4" nylon elbows, and some hose mounts (attached to the VIAS), spring clamps and misc. screws from Lowes. The way Nissan routed the factory hoses was almost perfect for this mod. The biggest expense/problem was the hose, I tried the cheapo plastic stuff but that didn't work out so well. It collapsed as soon as the engine warmed up. Anyways here's some pics.

I've had the PCV catch can installed for about a month now. One interesting side benefit I found is that it seems to have stopped my car from throwing pre-cat/O2 sensor codes. Before the catch can was installed I'd get a SES light about once a week that would go off again in a few days. So far none since. But I probably just jinxed myself.

Not having the cel is wonderful but damn! I considered having it on as a sign to get headers sooner rather than later. My car is happy as is. Great power and runs perfectly. I would hate to screw it all up by installing headers and dealing with the secondary o2 sensors. I really need to ride in someone's car that has headers installed so I can feel the difference for myself. I am so sick of only reading about it or watching youtube videos. I'm done rambling now.

I'll let you know HONESTLY how different it is. From a daily driver perspective.
It's probably because oil consumption issues are more pronounced on the 3.5L.

Mine too! But everything from the cat forward is rusting out and on borrowed time. I've got Cattman Headers/Y-Pipe/FastCat in the garage waiting to be installed this spring. Since it was roughly $100 more than a questionable fit/quality CATCO stainless replacement system and MUCH cheaper than OEM.

I'm lucky in that my car has only been a Florida resident. The rust would definitely be enough to convince me to change out the entire exhaust. How is that srs system holding up for you? Who knows, maybe you'll be jumping on the Cattman 3" band wagon after installing their headers. Look forward to hearing about the install this spring. Based on your posts, I respect your opinions and thoughts. My mods have been aimed more toward making the car more comfortable and sportier at the same time. For that reason I am going to try Knights poly side motor mounts and then the torque link or es front/rear mount insert. Sounds like having all of those mods will cause too much of a drop in my daily driver comfort level.

I'm thinking about just getting this:

For only $19 shipped, and it looks better and hold more than a compressor water trap, I don't think I could go wrong.

I used a craftsman compressor water separator. It has a larger reservoir to hold more oil and its built to last. I found it at sears for $20.

The small $7.00 Harbor Freight unit I used takes roughly 3 weeks to get ~2/3 full on my VQ30DE-K. I empty the oil into a small clean (Ny-Quil) cup, pour it back into the engine, no-problem.
