Hey guys and girls,

Have just installed my FMIC and a nice Greddy plumback BOV, however I'm un-sure as to where to hook up the bleed valve hose to now.

The old cooler pipe was the standard Blitz item + BOV that the majority of Skylines arrive out here with, and it had a nipple to attach the hose before the bov. Any suggestion on where to hook it up now?

Would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

tap in a new nipple in the cooler piping that goes from the turbo to the intercooler and run it off that :P

Spot on. Most of the cheaper coolers dont have a nipple and you have to tap the cooler piping. Do it just before the cooler piping meets the inlet manifold.

Considering its a Hybrid kit I'm a little dissapointed that it didn't have one.

Can I just purchase said tap from somewhere or do I have to get it professionally done?

I am in the same position with the hybrid kit. Prob good to get it professionally done as the pipe is aluminium (on the hybrid kit) therfore requires TIG welding, which requires quite a bit of expertise. I am getting mine done tommorow from an exhaust place, hopefully it will fix my overboosting issues.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Blue slip

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
