  1. Hey everyone, i have a monza atmo bov that came with my car

    basically i am getting alot of fluttering when backing off the throttle, its almost at a point where i cant let go of the pedal without getting flutter

    what i done was loosen the bolt on top which i thought would make it require less force to open the piston but the more i loosen the more flutter i get (Note: i think it is coming from the pod filter not the BOV because when i give it a bit you can hear it come out the bov)

    so am i supposed to tighten the spring so i dont get any flutter? (im guessing its the air chopping on the turbo blades and being heard through the pod because its not getting released out the bov)

  2. yes as stated above, its a VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) which can be changed but the prices of these things are $200+!!! so dont think ill take that approach

    will instead be putting a peices of plastic/perspex infront of it... something they use already on some lcd displays etc

    only thing is getting the correct colour to make it blue... will be going to plastix some time this week and getting some samples

    will report back

  3. if you drive the car normally, than no need to take it off i rekon

    people say when racing/drifting they dont like the car steering for itself but than some others say they like it

    i personally removed it because it was cheaper to get a $70 lockbar than to find out what was wrong with my HICAS and repair it as the light would come on after 10min of driving

    btw that 2kg your going to save aint going to = shit

  4. Posted in the DIY thread about my problem but doesnt seem to be getting any response so ill try here.

    Basically my car was idling at 900rpm and it would hunt every so often but nothing major, so i cleaned the AAC as described and the hunting pretty much went away and idles much nicer now but the screw in the AAC valve does absolutely nothing??!

    also disconnecting the TPS electrical plug does nothing either my revs just stay on 900rpm

    is this normal? what other things can i check to make sure i dont have a problem?

    and yes i made sure the car was warm before i done this so the cold start doesnt interfere

  5. Just got a second hand r33 clock that i want to mod so it has a blue lcd display instead of green to match the rest of my interior lights

    now question is what sort of display is it? some form of 7 segment display? im pretty sure is microprocessor controlled and i see an IC under the display but ive never seen these displays before (i work as an rf tech for defence)

    im guessing no one has done it so far?

    anyhow any ideas would be good, how is the r32 clock? is it interchangeable coz i hear they have a bulb that gives them the light???

  6. +1 for new pump, dont want it to fail on you again

    i put a gtr one in and it was very loud (party because of the bodgy workshop that installed it wrong)

    changed it for a walbro 500hp kit and it was much quieter and pretty much a straight swap, all hoses + clamps come with the kit i think the only thuing i had to change was the connectors for the positive and negative.

    the 040 bosch is probably equivalent to the walbro one, either way they should both do for approx 250rwkw

  7. You can buy gasket maker at supercheap just make sure its the right one as there are many different types (Some arent oil resitant or fuel resistant bla bla, but you want one for air piping)

    or you can get the proper gasket from nissan

    or perhaps you can just buy a $2 sheet of gasket paper and use that?? dont know how well that would work tho...

  8. pretty sure they are 666dan from here that sells them, i have them.

    If you can change the normal globe you can do these

    its a matter of taking your centre console off, a couple screws around the cluster and its out than twist the bulbs out and put the new ones in

    they look good too, just gotta match the rest of the dash now
