have you got pictures of it installed?

you replaced the std one with the aftermarket one and hooked up the air line from the plenum to the BOV?

was it a plumb back type or atmo? if atmo make sure you block the std BOV's return pipe

its a atmo.. i bolted on the adapter... then clamped on the bov to the adapter.. then i clamped on the thin pipe from the engine to the bov.. the other pipe i just block off with some tape as i was just checking to see if it worked and i didnt have anythin else to use.. should i remove that whole pipe and block it off where it starts? and if so should i use a grommet or what? is this all i have to do or am i doing something wrong?

i wil try and get a pic of what i did but i need to get a hold of a digi camera first as mine got lost.

doesnt matter where the pipe is blocked off, as long as it is air tight....

try lossening any adjustment on the BOV , do you know that it worked before you got it, it might be faulty

i bought it brand new... so it should work.. i wil try it again tomorow... whats a good thing to use to block of the hole? grommets? and does it matter if your car is auto or manual?

doesnt matter which transmission you use

block teh hole, well that depends on where you do it, if you block it at the end of the steel pipe, then pop down to clark rubber and use a rubber chair leg stopper that fits, then just hose clamp it on.

yeah looks correct, there looks to be a gasket under that adapter.. it has a hole in the middle right? just to state the obvious :laugh:

if that has a twist top for adjustment, loosen it off as it might be too tight for the boost your running.

have you tried taking the bov off and pushing the plunger up to make sure it works?

also, not too familiar with rb20s but is the vacuum hose you have it connected to actually a vacuum hose? is it connected to the intake manifold?

gasket has a hole.. and im prity sure its all connected right.. i have tried it with the pipe blocked of.. but all i used was some tape as i has nothing else at the time.. the blue hose is just a silicon hose that i got from a kit.. i can twist the end of my BOV to hard or soft.. should it be on hard or soft for a r32 standard boost?

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
