Dave notice the plural

Shazza i have found be honest with the police to the best of you knowledge, you are not a mechanic if that makes sense

for example my car sounds loud but a police officer asked me if it was too loud and i said to be honest i have no idea, as its never been tested so there was no point me making assumptions that it was too loud

Hey fellas,

Quick question...

What about, if I did the Cole can trick, drilled a small whole in the centre of the aluminium... Would that mean it would only flutter a small bit or when I rev the shot out of it???

As I was thinking then when I drive it easy it won't flutter?

Anyone know?

I suspect the flutter will just be a bit quieter than fully blocked, as you are letting a bit of air escape. Its the same as an adjustable BOV when you tighten it to only release a small amount of pressure.

I think Damo is being sarcastic, Jamie. If there is a small hole then only a little bit of air will flow out. For example on full throttle release (rev out) you should get flutter and bit of stockie wssssh and on partial throttle release (4000rpm gear change) you should get just the wsssssh sound and maybe the tiniest bit of flutter :D

Wicked! That's what I'm looking for!!!! So I can still be in stealth mode if I need to be... :)

You drive a skyline there is no such thing as stealth mode

Leave the car at home = stealth mode

Jamie, Steve is correct on this one mate. If you want to drive it in stealth mode then just return the car back to stock and that will be the only way to get about lol. I have an adjustable BOV if you wanna try it and see it this is what you are after.

Hey guys,

just completed the experiment of blocking off the bov however leaving some holes so that it can still be silent when you drive soft and flutter when you give it a bit...

So far it went well... It took a couple of goes to get the right amount of small holes into the aluminum so that it would be at the right pressure but it seemed to have worked...

I can see what you mean guys, when you say that I may need thicker aluminium due to the stress it will be under but we will see how it goes.

Thanks for the offer krishy, however I'm trying to stay away from after market bov due to that being one of the first things cops look for when they pop your hood... :(

Anyways... If people have been thinking of blocking their bov for the sound, maybe the way I have done it would be a good option... :)

cheers

Take it for a test drive and let us know how it sounds compared with before :thumbsup:

Took it for a run on PRIVATE PROPERTY (cough cough) and it sounded great... none of those stalling issues either...

As mentioned in above post, you can drive it softly with no flutter and if you want it to flutter just give it some stick!!!! :)

All is good...

(now to take it off so that i can drive on the public roads again withought being defected by the boys in blue....)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
