lol yea it is exactly as the name says

picked up my first skyline took it nice and easy was all good took a few mates for a drive told em na na not yet let me have it for a while before i give it to much

so on the way home i thought well why not ill see what shes like under some boost so changing into 3rd felt like i had lost power? and once i got up it in 3rd i thought wow this is kinda patheic? so i slowed down thought geez it has some power in the lower gears gave it a bit and felt like nothing was going on? so i pull ova pop the bonnet to see if i had popped a pipe off and here i find the blow off valve sitting in my engine bay so as ya do i pushed it back into place and went and gave it a little to see if it still released and it did thank god

its going back to the standard blow off valve now as this one needs welding on and its in a bad palce really noticable position and i dont need the attention rather keep it looking and suonding standard :wave:

lol pritty intense night considering i had only had the car for about 2-3 hours

hahahaha, i've done that too :) i had to use a bottle cap to secure the hole till i could get home to fix it :S

mine ended up snapping off a bolt :), must been partially worn in the first place to go as bad as it did though

lol i managed to get mine back on and tighten it up enough so i could drive home like a little girl

just wondering:

would the fact that the blow off valve wasn't there and there was just a hole be the reason it wouldn't start or have i got more then one problem?

would have driving with the blow off valve not on my car caused any issues?

yep, if the bov wasnt there then you would have a massive hole which would create a massive vaccum leak which would make it very hard to run and idle let alone start it.

Drive around with a massive leak like having a missing bov wont do any damage, it will just run like a dog and go through shit loads of fuel.

What type of bov is it and how is it meant to be secured? Is it just hose clamped on?

pfffft, cats are for losers......

there is nothing more fun on a sunday afternoon than taking your cat off your cat, smashing out the insides with a hammer and screwdriver and bolting it back it...

makes a hell of a difference and its hard to notice you have done it :P

^^^ OMFG... THATS AWESOME!!!

i hate gutted catalytic convertor threads...

but on topic the engine will run rich and could stuff your cat and might faul your spark plugs too depending on how far you drive it. if its too bad the car will stall at anything over idle if its got too much of a leak like a blown intercooler pipe

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
