Hi all, i got pulled over the other night because the cops heard my blow off valves and decided they wanted to ruin my night. Anyways they gave me a yellow sticker for the blow off valves and a few other shitty little things. I'm just wondering if anyone can help me with what i should do.

There HKS SSQ on my R32 GTR, does anyone no were the stock blow off valves would be if still fitted and how much is involved in taking off the HKS ones or if theres another way around it? Any advice would be great.

Depends how your SSQV's were attached, mine are in the same place as the original, exact same pipe aswell. Check to see where yours are. If its on by the same way, its easy removing, just unscrew and reattach originals.

Makes me reconsider my twin SSQV's... may take back to original.

Damn! Take it off, clear the yellow sitcker then put it back on if ya want... lol

BTW I would take the HKS SSQ BOV off, they sound shit and only VL turbos have'em for noise.

Yes the originals are just off the intercooler.

Also if ya not running high boost, stock BOV is fine.

i've passed quite a few cars by just plugging the vacuum line going to the bov so they dont go off and make the noise.

Not sure what the rules are where you are but in WA, bovs arent illegal to have on your car, just if they are too loud. By blocking the vacuum line, they can rev all they want, but its not going to make any noise. Just be prepared for them to be extremely picky, make sure there arent any oil leaks and make sure the car looks nice and clean, and mainly just know what your talking about so when they try to stick bullshit things onto the list you can defend yourself.

Goodluck, they are the biggest bunch of assholes on the earth :blink:

If you plug the vacuum line going to it wouldnt it still go off under load?

my thoughts too man..

i was like WTF!!!

the vac line is there for a reason

Im in W.A and the cop told me that if they vent noise to the atmosphere there illegal so he says. So u mean just disconnect and plug the ends of the vac lines, will the turbos still function properly like this?

no the vac line is there to open the bov, but on boost it does help keep it close but the spring does the majority of the work.

On 7psi, none of the bovs i've had have opened with no vac line, its been fine. Obviously if you were running 20psi through it i wouldnt expect it to hold it shut but at the sametime you would be stupid to have the car running "quick" with them driving it. Make it as slow as possible so they dont think your such a "hoon". I normally just run wastegate pressure (ie 7psi) and retard the shit out of the timing and it drives like a slug and they think its as boring as batshit.

cops dont know what they are talking about, half of them dont know what they are looking at under the bonnet let alone whats legal and whats not. All they have to do is spin some shit that the car is illegal (even if its not true) so they can stick a yellow on your car so you can get reemed at the pits.

The turbos will function fine

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
