And a heap of Golfs.

Yeah, but we already knew about them. The 370 I hadn't seen before.

orly? They pull you up or something?

Not me. They pulled up next to me at the lights at Rode Rd and Appleby Rd. Chatting away "hey, how's it going? Have a good night? Where you headed?" etc... and I was thinking "this guy is a bit... chatty... I hope it's not a cop because I have to go up that hill and my BOV is going to go off it's brain..." so the lights go green and the hero in the Hyundai coupe hits limiter, lays a massive skid and goes tearing up the road at about 90k through a 60 zone. Blue and red lights appear on the Z and I'm like :(

I took off slowly and limped up the hill so I didn't set off my BOV, when I got to the bottom he had the Hyundai pulled over and was getting out of his car with his little book of prizes. So I honked and waved goodbye and he waved back :(

...but yeah. Black 370Z hard top. Didn't see the plate because he was next to me, and then I couldn't see shit because of the flashing lights. Must be a Boondall or Strathpine one, so just be careful around Zeds.

So, finally figured out what is wrong with Jason's boost control set up.

What's wrong with this picture?

Hint: Symptoms include infinity boost, and (I presume) BOV not working

I can't believe I didn't spot it when I looked last week, my excuse is I was drunk on JB :(

I'll let you all guess for yourselves which 'mechanic' is responsible for this quality work.

So am I right thinking it should go Boost Control > Wastegate > BOV? but it currently goes Wastegate > Boost Control > Bov?

direction is irrelevant.

HINT: IF there was a boost source direction would be slightly more relevant

Sensor in the plenum then where else do they read air flow from?

But either way the BOV shouldn't be connected to the boost controller. Ur diagram is showing the BOV as the boost source right? Which means it wouldnt be getting any data saying open the wastegate. So wastegate stays shut and you get 11ty billion boost right?

Does colin get a prize?

No worries mang.

So whats happening with you and the alphabet lady?

Can't tell you... It's a secret :(

Jason's a flamin mongrel.

You love me really

I know this, but it is relevant why?

Because I'm awesome

No

Yes I farkn am... don't make me slap you

draw some direction lines on ur diagram then negro

It was a awesome diagram though :(

Hey ladies.

REgarding your l337 MS Paint 5k1llz Y0, you forgot to show the connection between the BOV, horn and the indicator fluid level sensor.

So you're all ghey......ah I mean wrong. Worng as in a bit fact guy with a bear touching himself whilst watching a Maria Carey video in nothing but a pizza stained singlet.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.  
    • 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
