It'll be fine, just remember that you altered a part of the system that's supposed to stay pressurised.

The stock blow off valve is designed to leak a little bit when at idle, so I would suggest that changing from the GFB one (which wouldn't leak at idle) to the stock one would change your reading.

Dont bother getting a tune if your only changing a BOV. If it is Recirculating back into the intake then nothing changes. If it is atmospheric then a tune wont really help unless you find an alternative to the factory Air Sensor (And even then you would only have to worry about the possible stalling issues caused by Atmo BOV's as covered in many, many a post before this)

Save the tune for big mods like injectors, turbos etc.

ahhh ok. im sure nissan would have designed a vacuum leak into the intake system to aid smooth idle lol.

Even if the BOV is designed to leak, it's a NOT going to affect idle as the "leak" is not escaping outside of the air measured by the AFM.

I don't see, how at idle, the stock BOV is going to be "leaking".

Air flows from point of highest pressure to lowest. When idling, the WHOLE intake up until the throttle body is at the same pressure...

The vacuum point is from the throttle body to motor side... Nothing to do with before it...

Maybe it leaks backwards :blink:

Except for the fact there's a vacuum line (from after the throttles) to the top of the bov which would suck it open unless the spring held it shut. the factory spring tension is soft enough to allow a small leak at idle.

Even if the bov were fully opened, pressure on the air filter side, and the IC pipe side is EQUAL, so there is no "leak".

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
