I cant see it being a prob. My mate Al (2LV8ETR) just put hes stock bov back on recently for the same reason and he puts 22 psi or more thru that baby and its all good with the stock bov, so i cant see ya haven any dramas. Also remember that plumb back system may be needed again.

is the HKS atmo or plumb back?

if its ATMO the tuner might have tuned to compensate for the ATMO stalling stupid behaviour

so if you find it being grumpy on gear change or return to idle and it was an AMTO bov

then it might need a touch up on the map and a re-check of the fuel cut recovery etc

not major, just a few screens to check, should take 10 minutes tops?

thats only if its ATMO and the tuner had to compensate for it being stupid

paul: what is the go with power fc tuning for atmo bov's? Im just intersted in wether its a setting/settings you change or is it just altering the fuel (and possibly igniton) maps to componsate for the air that isnt getting plumbed back into the system?

Just curious

Thanks

Most likely - spring rates, release pressure etc.

It might be minor, it might be ok... it's anyone's guess.

IMO buy a GTR BOV, chuck that on, live happy ever after (once you get the tune/driveability checked if its a problem)

most of the time just fiddle with the decel fuel recovery, I have mine set to 1200rpm and it's fine running without a BOV doesn't stall, even with the A/C on. With the stocker you can set it like 200rpm+ of the idle, so 1050rpm or so

if you set it too high your car will idle a tad high before dropping to the set idle setting.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
