Ever since i got a GFB Hybrid BOV installed with a pod it stalls... very frustrating as it also does it on the freeway.

I have plumbed back the GFB (has full plumback feature) but the car still stalls... sometimes you even try to rev it and it just wont go past 3 000rpm... very annoying and can feel backfires (this was on full atmo setting).

I will take off the GFB BOV tomor and fit my stock bov on... I hope this will fix it up... if not then perhaps the pod can also cause the car to stall??? its unshielded... so may need to fit the stock air box on.

Can anyone shine some light on this?

weird.

I got HKs SSQ bov just installed yesterday.

no stalling or idling funy,

Just make sure you block off the blumpback hose tite, no leak, and make sure the vacumm line to the BOV is tite and secure, and all adjustment on the BOV should be tite.

those factors caused idle funy for my BOV.

but all sweet after that all sorted.

they sometimes stall because when when they vent to the atmosphere there's air that goes past the afm but doesn't get to the engine. But you said that you switched it to plumback. So therefore it shouldn't be stalling, I'd be looking at a leak somewhere perhaps?

But yeah, good idea would be to put the stocker back on, and then see what happens. Then you can see if it's the BOV or the piping...e

ughmmm urs is auto yeah? hmm weird. ive got n aftermarket bov on mine ( blitz type s ) and pod and my cars never stalled before. are u sure whoever put it on put it on correctly?

Yep, auto. A pro put it on. Anyway I took the aftermarket BOV off today and put on the stock BOV and then drove around the block... still stalled... at low rpm, around 40 km/h. Then we discnnected the battery for 5 mins to reset the ECU... all good, then I fanged it past 7000 RPM and stalled shortly after... I then drove for a few hours and no problems what so ever... except when i got home just before, I set the turbo timer on 3 mins and the car stalled after 2 mins on turbo timer... really wierd!!

I dont know what to do, maybe its the pod also? Its unshielded! She never stalled before I put the BOV and pod on... whats a good way to tell if there is a leak... i think maybe a tune or ?

Ill see how the car will behave over the next few days... then if still stalling i may put the stock air filter on... or get the guys to check it out at the shop.

AFM = air flow meter

its near ur air filter,

its the 1 that have meshs, with a plug connected to,

try to pull out while the car is idling,

see if it does anything strange.

could be ur have a leak somewhere,

maybe a vacumm hose is not connected.

unshield pod wont contribute to car stalling~

Hummm.... I got a 34 GT-t Tiptronic, I also have a GFB Hybrid BOV, I have had it installed for about 15 months, it has been all good till now.

However recently I have also noticed my idle is going really low too, its stalled twice in the last 2 weeks, I am taking mine to nissan so they can connect it up to their computer to see if theres anything else wrong with the car. just as a precaution.

I checked all my hoses and couldent find nothing....

Let us know how u go if u do find the problem, likewise ill let u know wat Nissan say.

I have a GReddy Type-S atmo BOV on my auto.

My car used to stall a fair amount - everyone said it was the BOV but even when I plumbed it back it still still stalled.

Fast forward to getting a SAFC installed - no stalls now and I'm still running an atmo BOV.

Ok checked the coils and they are silver inside... no dirty stuff!! So obviously not the coils!

Gonna check fuel filter, afm and fuel pump today...

Also went for a drive yesterday doing 60-70 Km/h without boosting past 2.5 K and the car was fine...

Check your diagnostics first on your ECU. Usually if its an electronic fault then it will tell you. Do this first before you fiddle around with everything.

Usually it's the AFM, get it out and spray it with WD40 (those lubricant that u use to loosen stuck screws), spray at the middle part of the AFM which is like a little door hanging with two thin lines, and make sure you wipe the nets (exterior) clean. plug it in and test your car, if still stall try changing with your friend's AFM (must be same engine, you should know this right?) and test your car again, if it doesn't stall that means you must get a new one. If it's not the AFM, check your ECU (exchange with friend's and see). If it's not either of these, check your fuel pump

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
