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!

my blitz bov is right under my std. airbox intake, which will stay there when i get my A'pexi filter and custom carbon airbox

:D

you gotta look really hard to find the bov if u dont know its there.. and i still have my old one on.. :uh-huh:

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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
