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.

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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
