hey guys

just been working on a little project to hide my bov so that it is 'invisble' to a police officer. all i have used is a cross over pipe off a rb25det, cut it out for the part i needed and used 2 3" silicone joiners. the pipe will be mounted in line with my intercooler pipe underneath the front bar.

for those that have hybrid piping, this is for you as the straight section of the pipe that joins teh intercooler to the stock location is teh area that i have cut to install my new section.

once i install it later this week, will post some more pics of it mounted and how i run the necessary hoses to it to make it more inconspicuous.

for those that are gonna ask, yes i am still gonna have my standard bov in its original location but have a block on the hose to the plenum and a cut out coke can to seal the pipe in the original location. more pics will better explain this.

but yeh, here is a pic of the little project, has a stock bov on it for photo purpose and just want to know what you guys think.

cheers

daniel

or you can hide it in behind the front bar as alot of people do ive noticed ;) thats easier, plumbed in better way to go once off hassel free cost you choose which is better.

it will be going in behind the front bar and will be plumbed back in. i just made this so i didnt have to get a custom cooler pipe made so it has a flange positioned behind the bar. it will just be cutting a section out and replacing it with this.

what about just run a 1m hose from the outlet of your bov and tuck the open end of it somewhere nearthe intake

then the cops see a bov, then they see that its connected to a long pipe back to somewhere near the intake

they're not goign to go searchign for the spot at which it connects exactly

i used to hide my boost controller by getting a 30cm long bit of pipe and cutting a hole in it. then i put that over the boost controller and tucked the 2 ends of the pipe into tight locations. for the lesser known person it would just look like some random hose in the engine bay ;)

i cant go about that as i have a dual port gfb bov that vents to atmo and also plumbs back. epa in vic classes that the same as an atmo so no go there and cops Fu$k ya round alot because of it.

so by doing this it hides the atmo/pb bov and looks to any jo blow copper that the car is running a standard bov

Sorry ive read the original post....

Am i missing the point in this whole exercise? From what i have read it seems like alot of effort for nothing at all... Unless im not reading it correctly? I know its to hide the BOV... But... yeah?

Remove the BOV than you can't be defected for having one >_<

the funny thing with that is that the "dosing" would be louder than the actual bov going off haha

alot of manufactures are making "stealth" aftermarket parts. Turbosmart make stealth versions of boost controllers and bov, same thing just painted black so it blends into the engine bay more..

thanks mate. yeh for those who cant read. the bov that will be put onto that pipe is a gfb boost fx.

its currently on the car in the stock bov's position but the pipe that i made is so that the boost fx is hidden and the stock bov is still sitting in position so cops dont stuff u round.

its so u can hide your aftermarket bov while maintaining a stock looking engine bay with standard bov still in its original location.

ok no worries. So you're running an ecu with a map sensor that pushing over 350rwkw and more than 20psi of boost and has a massive turbo that requires such a blowoff valve?

good point, but different people have different needs

Refer to my point above.

Either that, or you have needs to be a dickhead, and attract unwanted attention of the cops, and have them hate us skyline owners more?

Its just pure f**king wank, no more. As I have said in many other ATMO BOV thread trolling, if you have a MAF and put a ATMO BOV on then you obviously want your car to run like shit, and think that girls get wet as soon as they hear it and will try and get into your car and get your fly down.

I think its just as bad as all of these people deliberately trying to make their car "dose"

The only thing that I will approve, is a nice big whistle if a turbo drawing in some air through a windowed compressor cover, ready to lay some rubber.

All the rest is just un-needed wank shit, unless you are pushing big power and the stock parts can't handle it anymore.

I'm running 300rwkw, with a stock plumbed back BOV, and it doesn't leak. Works perfectly.

i cant understand why people criticise????? i really dont understand why u feel like u need to comment about someones taste or choices???

i mean what if i said i dont like ur car? and that i think ur choice in turbo or computer is crap because i have a diff setup???? does that make me right and you wrong? does it mean im cool for having a cool BOV and ur a dick coz u dont???

man thats so sad... really if u dont like it and u get upset coz other people have this and it pisses u off, then just ignore it or piss off!!!

Not everyones tastes are the same and everyone has their own style and mod list for their car...

PS: i dont like ur rims they look like shit!!!!

there's my main point, and if you don't like it then I hope they find your noisy attention seeking BOV, and defect you for it.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
