Stupid me, while I was changing my spark plugs, I pulled the intake pipes off and it wouldnt budge. I didnt see the small tube connected to the back of my BOV was still connected and it busted off.

Can get it replaced, or is it a case of buying a new BOV. If so.. does anyone have one cheap (std or aftermarket.as I need it asap cos I was supposed to be heading down the drags this wednesday for the first time with SAUWA :D

Here's some pics of what I mean.

Also.. will the car run without this tube connected, forgive my ignorance.

Cheers,

That vaccume hose is pretty important for ur rpm to be stable. with the hose not connected, you'll notice everytime you clutch in and hold it when you change gear, the rpm may drop to zero and the engine may stall, till you clutch out and the engine will spring back to life. Your idle should still be fine. If you need a plumb back, try a wrecker or something, wouldn't be ex i should think.

ive got a knock off copy greddy type r, i had it on the car one day as i couldnt be bothered playin around with it as it came with 2 springs and i didnt like the sound so i stayed with the ssq.. you can have it and if ya get it working stable maybe a carton of beer :P im in high wycombe though,

Cheers anyways guys but im in the process of getting one off ebay, just gotta wait for postage from eastern states. For the mean time ive borrowed a Blitz BOV from a mates GTR which is sidelined with a rooted engine. Cheers Serg :P

One thing though... is it just me.. or does the Blitz BOV sound like a video game. My old HKS sounded like a woosh sound, this blitz sounds like a sound effect, does the job though.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
