Hope this is in the right area. Was just wondering on the laws surrounding BOVs.

As far as I know they are illegal in all states? Is this right? And is this due to noise pollution or emission controls (oil could get vented out perhaps?)?

Probably not the best area, but ah well.

Depends on the type of BOV mate. Standard (factory) blow off valves are generally plumback, which as a rule generally means less noise pollution. It's when you start putting aftermarket Atmospheric blow off valves on your car when things start to go bad. Atmo BOVs i know are illegal in most states.

Best bet is a hybrid imo :thumbsup:

you got a permit for your atmo bov?! I thought it was emissions reasons you couldn't vent to atmosphere.. not noise.. if it's noise then I can argue the case for the huge sard thing on my car (came

with a permit for aftermarker plumback bov, not atmo) but it's so loud I'm putting a standard one on.. still got your plumback plumbing?:pirate:

i got a pair of ssq's on my gtr and they made it over the pits fine. the dude there took it for a thrash, i heard them go off a few times.

he said nothing.

i told him i had them and asked fror a permit, he said i dont need one.

Yeaqh, at the time it was a Greddy S Type. Went over the pits to get rid of a yellow at east perth, and the guy said I needed a permit for it...and the strut brace...and the pod filter...and the aftermarket seats :)

Sorry, dont have the plumbing...had the Type S on it from Japan

      Skyline Washer Nozzle Compatibility

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi all, Bit of an odd question but the only OEM washer nozzles I can find readily available are listed as fitting the R33/R34 models. The R32 (shown below) has it's versions sold as a LH and RH piece while the R33/R34 nozzles are sold as a set (part number B8K30-AA000). Has anyone tried using these nozzles on their R32 Skyline hood? Do they fit without issues or with slight shaving, or are they completely incompatible? Visually they look almost exactly the same as the original factory nozzles I have now. They aren't expensive so I can eat the $30 or so that it would cost to try but I figured I'd ask in case someone had tried it already. Thanks!

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
