You're confusing two things for one. You either swap your stock plumb back BOV for an ATMO one or you BLOCK the standard one. They generally both screw up your AFM readings resulting in backfire, stalling issues, idle issues.

I've blocked the stock BOV and the only thing I've noticed is that perhaps my fuel economy has gone down abit and that I get the occasional loud pop (backfire) on gearchanges. No stalling or idle issues.

ok well....im talking bout removing the std BOV and installing atmo one and blocking of that pipe....LOL no idea wats its called... i mean i swaped it over....car was fine for a bit...then the thing i used to block the pipe started leaking and then the car began stalling and shitting itself...

so i put std bov on again and yer fine....

so i dunno wat to do...i luv the sound of aftermarket bov though. atmo one that is

Ahh I understand, you fitted the BOV and blocked the recirculation pipe. Just make sure the bung used to block the pipe is on tight with a hose clamp. If you have problems regarding idle its most like your BOV is leaking.

Run a MAP sensor... no stalling or idle issues at all :happy:

Coke Cap = BAD - I had this in there for a day before I got the Turbosmart plug (billet) and it melted; I'm lucky that the temps did not get hot enough to turn it into a liquid and run down the recirc pipe.

IMO; if you must use DIY bungs, the end of a broom stick is better!

FLUTTER ON BRO....

waa? I don't know any one who has one with a BOV :) I meant any r32 model, btw.. All have the outlet on the inlet piping but all were blocked with rubber grommets.. Not to mention everything i've read on this site seems to suggest rb20's were BOV-less :woot:

Do you actually know anyone with an R32? The outlet on the inlet you speak of is actually the inlet for the plumback piping from the standard bov which is located on the standard crossover pipe..

Now I am questioning whether you can actually read at all :)

Beer Bottle Caps as Bungs FTW! Used two for a long time, no dramas. Also if you are smart, you put the question facing outward, then you have a little bit of trivia to keep you company each time you open the bonnet.

No, not kidding. Have pics of setup.

Well i know 3 people with them and all of the BOV outlets are bunged up (well the outlets from the plumb??). I thought r32 gts-t and below were all BOV-less.. I've never really looked into BOV's and consequently know very little (so no need to go hack). To me, in most respects, they appeared quite superfluous, but if 32 gts-t's have them from standard i'd be interested in putting one on. Any pics of this crossover pipe? Or of the positioning of the BOV?

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
