^^ Nah he's serious, have a read of his other threads. *shakes head*

Thien, you cant get the sound of venting to atmosphere without the problems that come along with it, unless you change over to an ecu that does not use an AFM.

Thanks mate... and yeah, I'm not too technically-minded when it comes to all this stuff... silly me...

I guess, I'll have to live with it then.... either lose the sound or have the sound with stalling issues.

Thanks mate.

Would a 50/50 plumb back BOV work?

if you really want the psssht, try full atmo on a hybrid type bov. if it gives you trouble in full atmo (which plenty of skylines run without issue) then go 50/50. you should be fine. if that fails, you can always set it up as fully plumbed.

for the guy that asked earlier how its done:

fully plumbed = block one side, attached other to recirc hose.

50/50 = trumpet on one side, other side to recirc hose.

fully atmo = block recirc, use 1 or 2 trumpets on bov

here's mine 50/50

fully plumbed back, as it is now, . the trumpet is replaced with a supplied cap from GFB

btw, if it didnt come with the car, i highly doubt i would've needed or bought it.

Is it just me, is does it seem that most people don't give two hoots about BOV's... and don't car about the ssshhtttt sound... would it be fair to say that everyone is over this?

Or is it due to stalling issues which is common in R33's?

where can you get that done? whats is actually changed?

It's dodgey mate.

you take your stock bov off.

and put it in a VISE.

then crush it a little.

this preloads the spring that is in it which makes it hold more pressure as it takes more pressure to push the spring.

it doesn't actually make any more sound though.

Yes that is correct.

we give no shit for bov sound.

put the stocker on there and stop talking about it.

its true

i also give very little shit for the sound, so i ordered the cap from gfb to block the fuccker off.

i remember driving a 300zx with twin super dooper trumpet ultra mega farkoff bovs. i was over it in 20 mins. i mean even at 2k it was going AAAAAPPSHCOOOO. enough already, i just wanna drive.

Mate, have a think about what youre asking.

Why would you want to modify your car in a way where the *only* benefit will be more noise (which will in turn give you more attention from police), and the downside to it is that it can and almost always will make your car run worse? (In the case of vehicles running airflow metres)

Your stock one does its job, which is to prolong turbocharger life, not make noise.

Dont but an atmospheric one, its pure wank and a waste of money.

DONT PUT THE STOCKER BACK ON MAN.

buy an AEM quality plumb back bov. stockers are shit. they leak and fail to seal. think about it.

what would u do if u were pushed up and down BILLIONS of simes :S

Would a 50/50 plumb back BOV work?

No it will not work.

Your AFM measures how much air is going into the engine, the ecu then uses that measuement of air going in to work out hom much fuel put in.

When you put on a BOV that vents air back to atmosphere (makes thats loud pschhh) your computer (thinking the air is still in the engine) puts in way too much fuel. This results in stalling, stuttering, big black exhaust smoke and a generally shithouse driving experience.

A 50/50 BOV still dumps 50% of the air that the ecu expects, so it still causes a problem. Just leave it stock FFS!

*On a side note I changed my spark plugs on the weekend and forgot to put the BOV return pipe back on, as i changed gears i got the atmo bov noise. But it made the car feel so sluggish on gear changes, spat so much black smoke I cant imagine how anyone could deal with that just for a little ghey sound*

This is twice I've seen you post this bad advice.

what is AEM?

stock bovs are rubbish, leaking heaps of shit, done a trip 2 brissy other weekend, running stock bov, f**kin heap of shit leaking the whole time on light throttle could hear it just in vacum, so fkn annoying

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
