so i did the coke can mod tonight and seemed to get rid of the farting issue... How bad is it not having the blowoff functioning? Should i look into the grub screw mod?

There is mechanism why it may not be good..

But its pseudoscience at best no one really knows and there are many people on either side of the fence... Personally i have never run them in any of my drift cars. 20+ psi. Had no dramas.

Did the coke can mod. Very straight forward. Great results; eliminated the farting, seems to be slightly more responsive, got the fully sick VL flutter sound which is manageable. Certainly turns head

Installed the Turbosmart Kompact plumb back BOV.....you can still make some funny flutters with it but no farting and under load releases pressure the way a BOV should.....

yeah well we purposely never ran one on the CTS Drift Car as we found it held the boost better that and the fact it was one less part we had to worry about failing. But i was just worried on a stock car such as these it might have some issues. i guess ill wait n see...haha

Docile... that was not problem when I did that mod.

I found it good when on of off the throttle but when cruising on the Highway at 115kmh it tended to stutter and was very uncomfortable. Had to stop on the trip to remove the grub screw. Fortunatley it only takes 5 minutes to remove.

As Andy mentioned, wait till you take it on the highway. Drives like a dog.

I'm not exactly sure what the fix is... but once I changed the intake and tuned it with the E-Manage I no longer get the farting... Have been driving it around for about a year with no issues.

Thanks for the heads up. So far had it cruising at 90kmh at constant speed, seemed quite ok, will see how it goes over 100kmh.

Take it on a long hill and when you try and maintain a steady speed. When you ever so slightly back off the car will begin the shudder.

It drove me nuts. That and the stupid sound. Would be fine if it was a 1000kw beast... but its a wagon... with alot less power.

Took it for a drive today across Melbourne (Moorabbin to Geelong and back). Kept it steady at intervals of 90kmh, 100kmh, 115kmh and 120kmh. If you are steady on the throttle, not like a taxi drive on/off, I could not fault it.

Have to agree. I ran mine with the grub screw for many 10's or thousands of kms on highway, never an issue.

My car has the super hectik vl fluttaz, but I can't work out why. I just assumed it was an a/m bov, and never got round to looking at it.....until my turbo blew.

I've pulled the BOV off and checked all the lines to make sure someone hadn't blocked them for teh fluttaz. Do the BOV's fail very often?

My std BOV did similar, [fully hectic sound included] annoyed the crap out of me and made the car surge on light throttle transitions I took it off to check it out. Ended up having a ruptured diaphragm, I replaced it with std BOV off another VQ25det and the problem was solved, driving the car was so much better.

now just wondering whether to keep it or put on a new stock BOV as I do not want to kill the turbo.....

I replaced mine with a Turbosmart Dual Port. Theo has the same one, and Scotty has a Turbosmart Kompact. Little bit of flutter but if you're smooth it's hardly noticable.

I didn't like the idea of replacing one BOV having issues with a second hand one when they're all prone to doing this.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
