hmmmmmmm... just thinking y u would think a piece of machinery that has been moving up and down billions of times could never break down, loose its seal...

I would guess that for a given motor, the pistons in the motor would have gone up and down a couple of thousand times more than the piston in the BOV, i know what i would expect to leak first.

Ok, first i'll quote your initial post.

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

Now for Abu's post in reply to yours.

That information is WAY off..

Now again yours in reply to Abu.

Now I have much respect for you and this will not change my views on you. Same goes to abu, I feel he is a much respected member on this forum and he provides very usefull info and so do you also.

Now you've left out a very important piece of info in you first post and I have highlighted that above. Any person reading your initial post is not going to assume that you ran your stock bov to the atmosphere....thus in your view putting it in the piece of crap catagory.

As others have experienced, the stock bov is not crap if it is used as it was intended to be used, as a recirculating valve. Abu's reply was not out of line.

In fact it was your post that was mis-informing by leaving out a critical part of information.

Explanation and informaton is the key my friend.

So it turns out that it is not abu, but you that is the keyboard warrior today. Maybe your just having an off day, but regardless, the name throwing and "going off" at abu wasn't necessary.

I intend no offence to you by this post.

Thankyou for your time.

Fellas, I think we've just gone a bit over board... back on topic...

I need an atmospheric BOV to not stall my car - how to do this?

I need the sucking and shshttt sound... man, I need it bad.

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*

Yeah mate, thanks so much for your advice... it is much appreciated....

You ironed it out nicely - enough said, I concur with your point (and those others have made too)...

That's right fellas... stock then it works and runs better but no sound... atmo BOV and the car runs lean, stalls like shit and performs less efficiently.... ok, I'll go stock... thanks.

Apparently it doesn't... as it's only 50 50 plumb back... if I plumb it all back then same thing as stock.

Thanks.

No its not, you can adjust it to fully plumb back or fully atmo, or any config in between. The whole idea of this BOV is so you adjust the volume of the noise you want, i have this on my car and if you set it up right the car doesn't stall on full atmo. I live in NSW and unfortunately it is a defect here, Although i had mine adjust to full plumb back the cop said i could adjust it at any time so defect time. And i too got sick of the noise thats why i had it full PB. I don't know about the laws in VIC.

Full atmo on your bov is just like full atmo on any other bov mate.

PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD. I cant take it anymore!!!

stolen s15 could you please explain what you mean?

I think you taken my reply the wrong way, i was reply to his post stating that the GFB FX was a 50/50 BOV i was only trying to clear this up by saying it could 100% atmo, 100% plump or anything in beween. I too have gone back to stock.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
