Too true...add to that shuddering/surging on throttle lift offs...will give him a week before he has the factory BOV reconnected....

Hecctik...

Awesome pic, though strangely only appears when I went to reply, not normal.. Weird :S

Anyway, my prelude has a great dose, not a crappy VL type one, but a grunty manly one <_> No problem with shuddering or surging, and its got a brass button clutch too, and its fwd, and tyres bald, and its 220KW :)

hey guys.. have just notised two lines im not sure about... 1 is coming from the p/s compressor- which go to the intake pipe... what to do..????

2.. there is also another line coming from the wastegate... what to do..... any help would be appreciated...

Why dont you just drive around with "Im a Knob" sticker on your window.

Dose pipe and sticker have the same affect.

There is a small difference between the two Dave.

the sticker actually has people questioning whether its a piss take or not.

dose pipe confirms it without a shadow of doubt.

that one going to the throttle is your bov recirc which you dont need to worry about block it off, the one going to the rocker cover is the oil breather you must have that so make a nipple on your new intake pipe and the vaccum one goes into the t peice of the stock boost controoler you can block it off

Hope you enjoy stalling and backfires....Sorry ash

if u do it correctly this will not happen, i had a metal "dose" pipe made for my 34, i removed all the piping for it from above the turbo (sorry i dont know the mechanical name but it was 1 black pipe and 1 steel/alloy pipe" and also blocked out the bov and i never stalled. as for backfiring after i installed my cooler i got backfire a lil bit and i didnt realise an increase

i run a hks ssqv now though so no more dose as i got a bit over it

So what part of your install was done "correctly" over the 100's of others that have issues.

You only have issues when you do it without having the car tuned my car was stalling before I had it tuned then when its tuned for no bov it doenst stall and runs well

I dont know where all these stalling theories are coming from... I blocked off my BOV on my Stagea, no stalling. Had it blocked off on my 33 and.......... no stalling???

Only side affect was a nice flutter sound thru gear changes and backing off!

If the dude likes the sound let him have it ffs....

Yes there is knowledge backing up the fact that it can hurt your car, There are also people who have done it and never had a problem.

Like the sound? Do it, its easy as hell.

Dont like the sound and think its stupid close the thread and move on.

Dont like the sound and think its stupid close the thread and move on.

Trouble is we get absolutely inundated with threads like this all the time...Rice modifications all aimed at getting a certain sound or certain look only...Quite often sounds and looks that make 'all' of us targets of the law...This pisses me off!!

Now if we don't at least make an attempt to quell threads like this by using deserved words such as knob etc, imagine how ricey SAU will become!!! 2 out of 3 threads will be titled "How do I make my Skyline sound / look like a 14yo really did design it??"

So maybe relax a bit on the people making their thoughts on ricey mods known because ricey mods make us all targets...If you dont like people doing this, close the thread and move on...

:) Feeling better now...

btw Tututuriffic thread guys!!!

One thing I did notice when I stuck a Mount Franklin lid in the BOV return on my S15 to get this 'hectik dose' was that the boost gauge would maintain a positive boost reading between gears...I notice with BOVs active, the gauge returned to 0"hg....

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
