Also, atmospheric venting valves are usually designed to stay shut more than a plumb backs due to the problems associated with them opening at idle.

Yep, seen many a car running a plumb back BOV in an atmo way. At idle its open and sucking in unfiltered air.

Even seen people have mini air filters on them.

The design principle between a plumb back and atmo are identical so the only difference would be the atmo BOV's running harder springs that cant be pulled up under vacuum.

But you can afford to run the risk of hundreds of dollars for fines and/or loosing your license for having an atmospheric venting valve?

New Zealand is a great place when it comes to atmo bov. :P

And the $500 was in reference to some one saying it was a cheap ebay bov, when it wasn't and i dont have money for an hks one etc... Basically I spent the money already and if I can get it working without having to spend more on a new stock bov, after i bought this one, I would rather do that.

I'll post up a video tommorow with how I have it installed and the sound it does. It might just be that the sound that is being produced is correct but i'm freaking out beacuse it's different.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
