have been searching for the answer but i havent been able to find it.

I just wanted to know where the skinny hose goes that comes off the pipe that goes into the intake from the BOV. It looks like some sort of vacuum hose.

Sorry for the stupid question but my car is currently stalling when approaching lights etc and this is the only hose of the BOV that isnt connected.

Thanks, Mike.

is it plumb back? if not then thats more than likely whats making it stall.

but yeah the 4mm hose on the top of the BOV goes to a small metal pipe sticking out of the plenum .. just down and to the right of the throttle body when looking from the passenger side.

Hey mate, i was actually talking about the thick pipe (1"?) that comes off the side and goes into the intake pipe just after the AFM. On this thick pipe there is a little fitting with a skinny hose (about 4mm) coming off it. This is the hose that im talking about.

BTW. its a standard BOV.

Thanks, Mike

that is a hot pipe that only has air going through it after the BOV goes off. so it doesn't matter too much if there is a leak.

i was running a GFB hybrid that vented to atmosphere and back into the pipe and never had an issue.

plug up the hole since it is not a standard fitment. never seen an r33 with a hose coming off that hose.

Hey mate, the actual problem im having is my car keeps stalling. So where exactly does this hot pipe go, i want to try and hook it up and see if it makes a difference. I currently have it blocked.

Thanks, Mike.

here you go :( sorry about the quality as my camera batteries just die, so i uses my camera phone, but if u still need better ones once they are all charged up i will takes some more

-if u look at the last 2photos, it is where the bov return pipe goes into the intake pipe; and there is a pipe sticking out is blocked off with a screw (i have a feeling that this may connect to the stock boost control bleed value thingo)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
