Well. I think I did the best thing I could have possibly done. I went to Darra and it was actually a Truck inspection site so they didn't really know what they were doing.

SO...

I handed him the slip... He said that I needed to take him for a drive around the block to check it. BUT there were two trucks in front of me and only 30 minutes till knock off time.

So he took the defect slip.. Asked me to pop the bonnet. I think he tried to catch me out here saying that he didn't know where hte BOV's were.. could i show him.. So as the mechanic that I am.. I showed the inspector where the standard BOV is and showed him the one we took off sitting in the back seat.

Then asked me to rev it. So I revved it to 3grand and then let of slowely so it didn't make a noise and thats it.. I drove away!

And thats my exciting trip to DOT!

Hype, you planning on constructing that carbon box yourself or buying one pre-made ? exactly what I'm looking for at the moment... Also Mighty does have a point, then again I got a mate who works on Toyota's all day and wouldn't know **** about Nissan's .....

im gonna get my dad to make, he know all about carbon fibre coz he uses it to make his model airplanes, it using the tamplete from these forum (sorry i forgot who posted it :( ):D

dont bother buying it JIM it aint worth it. i saw the carbon ones at UAS for $300+ stuff that!!:)

I was told its now illegal to have a bov that breaths out externally, it has to be plumbed back into the cars air filter.

they say its for noise reasons, but how is it that busses do the same thing at sound levels which cause your ears to bleed.

Atmo venting BOV's have always been illegal. They alter the air/fuel ratio as well as the noise associated.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
