hey all

i have a r33 gts-25t skyline 1993 model

i just put a hks ssq bov on it (not plumbed back)

and someone said that this can stuff my car because the air flow meter

now wont get the rite reading as the plum back pipe is now blocked off

and that id need a map sensor, also meaning id need a new ecu.

true not true??

anyone know a good mechanic to talk to on the north side of brisbane??

thanks

Nice bumping of an old post, but anyway...

I think you read it wrong mate, he doesn't have a plumb back anymore.

Basically (if that's even possible), the air goes past the Air Flow Meter, and whatever that reads, the engine thinks is going into the engine, so it puts the fuel in to keep the air fuel ratios right. It goes past the air flow meter and THEN it goes out the bov... so no air in the engine, but plenty of fuel... it can make for a rough idle and it can also stall after clutching out.

You can simply move the AFM to the intercooler piping, nearer to the plenum the better, to fix it...

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
