got a defect notice on my way home tonight for my BOV.

100 bux, which I dont think is too bad as he didnt notice a lot of other things he could have got me for.

Only thing was, he said the BOV is venting engine fumes, when I tried to tell him its just the intake air, he flatly refused that theory and tried to tell me if the BOV was connected to the catch can, it would be fine!

I just shut my mouth and agreed... :P

He also took a few photos of my engine on his phone which I thought was strange.

atmo BOV's vent charged air, hence the ticket...

the term charged can be taken which ever way you like it...

fact is many turbo's leak some oil straight down the intake pipe and its this vaporised oil that is the issue and is flamable also...

That'll be an easy 1 to clear even if you dont have the stock bov. Actually QLD cops are pretty good and normally they defect the obvious (e.g. bov, balded tyres etc.) unlike the other states where people like us gets raped so easily.

Dan: Well if you're screaming out for attention, you probably can expect a lot of it!

Wow BOV's are straight up illegal here, catch can or not, but yea photos are pretty standard it's so they have proof if you try to fight them in court

Air recirculation pipes that are plumbed back into the intake pipe are usually directly from the breather on the top of cam covers.

By atmospherically venting the Air ByPass Valve gasses or BOV gasses you are by definition venting engine fumes-somewhat small amounts- into the atmosphere with the overcharge of compressed air that the BOV bypasses from turbo so yes he is correct. You can place an oil catch type filter to the air outlet of the BOV but this is a mute point as it looks bloody ugly & is nothing but a fire hazard, & still is illegal. Plus it sounds a total Wank with the gasses being passed directly into atmo also like these new flutter types screaming look at me- look at me- which now the cops do lol

The only legal way to use an aftermarket Blow Off Valve is to use a plumb-back type & thats directly from QT.

Ok so If I plumb it back into the air box, is that legal as its enclosed? or does it need to be into the pipe work?

On a side note, My ol VL commonwhore used to drop huge doses that last for 10 seconds which was funny :thumbsup:

Rather pointless seeing as you have an airbox for cold air induction reasons yet you'd be releasing rather hot compressed air into there.

Just get a plumb back one. I have a dual port GFB bov, plumbed back and still get sexc flutterz.

Just hide your bov, Mines hidden between my fmic and throttle body pipe just under where the battery sits.

Ive been pulled over for it but they couldn't find it so got no defect :D

I just told them I didnt know what the noise was.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
