my car is at home in perth and im in qld on holidays at mates place and i want to make a plate to fit over the standard bov on the rb20det at home as all the gear is here to do it myself.

does any one have the dimentions from center of bolt to bolt?

and over all length and overall with. probably make it 6mm thick.

its to block it off so can install after market bov lower on the pipe.

AND WHAT IS THE DIAMETER OF THE HOLES TO FIT THE STOCK BOLTS?

Ok I am holding one BOV in my hand right now

A: centre to centre is 86 mm

B: overall length is 104 mm

C: width is 50 mm

D: Blow off hole diameter is 30 mm - the hole itself is 25 but it tapers out to 30 mm

E: Diameter of the bolt holes is exactly 10 mm

Hope that helps

champion, thanks mate.

thats a rb20det one right?

Also when you block off the BOV port you will also need to block off the hose connecting to it. Coke bottle lid is about as good as anything else

well im actually gonna use the plate to weld an elbo on ot to fit my BOV that needs a 38mm outer D.

easier welding the bov there than to exsisting intercooler piping i guess... like this below

until the coke lid melts, and yes they do.

how are you gonna melt it

the air doesn't get hot enough to melt ally, well, it shouldnt.

i suggested coke can too in his other thread :P

i ran for 2 yrs with a coke bottle lid in there and no sign of melting. Sure yours isnt making excessive heat ?

wasnt mine, but helping to change one out after going through nasho tells me they can.

id rather run a chair leg stopper onto the metal pipe if your gonna do it that way :D

hahah coke bottle lids are plastic Ash :P

Any way the original issue is busted!

brought a turbosmart adapter to fit the BOV from www.txeakit.net

interesting thread this one but... and yes, ill have a coke while fitting it. cheers guys

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
