Couldn't find air filters on their site?

found these: http://www.nengun.com/nismo/s-tune-sports-air-filter

Which is the correct part number? And How long do they last?

The K&N ones supposedly last 50k km???

Give them a call, they may have some in stock.

The Amsoil ones are guaranteed to last "100,000 miles or 4 years" - I have to back that as I am still using mine no probs :)

Re: Nismo air filter (from the RHD Japan website)

"The NISMO S-Tune Air Filter is a direct drop in replacement for your OEM unit and has a urethane/foam composition which will allow for the increased performance."

That fart sound from the stock blow off valve is embarassing. Especially if you've got chicks in the car :)

From outside they look at the car and it looks like it's new but little do they know when you boost a bit, it poos in it's pants.

hmm... I don't get any kind of noise from my factory BOV, even at 1.3 bar there are no such noises from the BOV

Turbo noise - but now I notice SOMETIMES (maybe 50%) when I hit boost, I get a "rubbing" noise - imagine driving over the rumble strips on the Hume, now speed it up x2. Sounds just like that...

Can you clarify whether the noise happens when you HIT boost or when you STEP OFF the accelerator whilst boosting?

I don't suggest it, mine holds 22 psi just fine. I drove Aarons with an aftermarket bov and wasn't impressed. Sorry Aaron. :)

Thanks Scott :)

lol yeh wouldnt recomend going after market. Regret it, and im lucky to have found a stock one (thats right scott! a stock one)

blocking it makes that "stuuu tuu tuu tu" sound. This will either snap the shaft in your turbo or shatter ceramic fan on the back of it. whichever is weaker, try to force exhaust fumes back into your engine, and do the ripple strip sound which is uncomfortable.

i had an atmo and needed to put the strongest spring i could get. our vacuum rate is much higher in our cars because they are electronically times, as compare to older cars. I did it just for kicks. found me kicking myself having to spend an arm and a leg repairing(hi flowing) a turbo.

because of the above reason, u could imagine why the stock would be the best.

OK - so basically my car's BOV is partially or fully blocked. Which means its stuffed and I need a stock replacement. You can't "clean" them, can you?

If I need a replacement - is it easier to get it from Japan? or order from Nissan Australia?

Something like this would be crap?

well i wouldnt suggest pulling them apart.

an idea? what im doing temporarily is using a Turbo Smart plumb back replacement for our car. it comes with a "green"(mid) tension spring. but its not soft enough.

Theyre "blue"(low) tensioned spring is the go. BOV should stay open at idle( which it does now) and should easily blow open when releasing throttle becuase of the softest spring. rated up to 600hp i think as well.. mine is still the green spring, and just BARELY making a beep sound. im not gonna get the blue spring because i found a stock. but I guess it would work. simple bolt on aswell. i think your looking at $200.00 RRP?

like i said ATMO isnt reccomended because of the Vacuum rate. Super sequential Valve by HKS is good but i wouldnt get it for ours, i tried one n my engine kept dying off throttle as the spring isnt strong enough. Probably wont fit under the BOV bracket aswell where as the TurboSmart Kompact fits just as a stck one.

oh n sorry for the long post's, I like to explain things in full

No problem - I like to get as much info as I can!

So I need to find a "blue" tensioned spring, which I take it is a stock part from Nissan?

I don't need the whole BOV assembly? Just this spring? Or I need this "Turbo Smart PLumb back" thing...? where do I get that?

Sorry for my newbness!!

haha nah its ok. im still newbing it i guess..

you'll have to replace the whole blow off valve. i dont think the stock ones come apart.

before you do replace it though speak to scott because i remember him saying something about a grub screw in the stock one that made it surge.(dont ask me)

but.

http://www.turbosmartonline.com/index.php?id=46 explains it. scroll down abit till you see the black ones.. its model specific for Nissan, including "stagea - all models" which is bull shit.. lol you will need a blue spring. which is like $15.00

Firstly, take the bov off and inspect it, Im guessing the hose is split or worse, there is some internal damage. There is probably a spare stockie floating about if you need one.

Our bov is special, it bypasses air all the time from a 4mm hole, this should not be blocked. (as I found the hard way) It helps eliminate compressor surge. Better would be to stick a solenoid on the bypass hole to block it at full throttle but as I said, I can hold good boost with it venting anyway.

Hey Jethro, how is it going with the bov problem?

Sorted yet?

Keep me updated mate

I should be getting the turbosmart thing from Aaron later this week...will let you know.

I think I will also start hunting for a used one on IM or from Jesse Streeter. Hey what did you mean when u said the BOV smells like egg? Are you kidding?

You wouldn't think of repairing the factory one? Sometimes all they need is a bit of a clean out. Kero bath and actuate it a couple of times and then you should be right?

The only other thing I can recommend is looking for boost leaks (such as cracked or damaged tubing on the pressure side of the engine.

Regardless, keep us in the loop on how you go.

hey everyone i had a look at it. its definitely not the BOV. its kind of like a quick brdrdurur sound like scraping something rippled with your hand. the BOV is fine. all the pipes are tightened. Driving it kind of feels like when you release the accelerator and the car kind of jerks forward its rubbing something for a split second then calms down. i think it might have something to actually do with handling rather than engine.

definitely not surge. i even tightened all the pipes.. def not leaking, doesn't seem possible to leak only when coming off boost right?

any ideas to help Mr IronPaw out?

Yep gotta thank Aaron for having a look at the issue...he reseated the BOV and tighted all the hoses but the farting noise remains...grrrrrrrrr

Might need to visit you Scotty..,when you guys are done with Craig's car that is :blush:

Hmm I get the noise when I let the accelerator off when I'm at (full?) boost between 3-4.5k. Doesn't happen ALL the time but usually does (70%). Never happens above 5k...

Throttle butterfly ok? sounds like its surging but it wont with the stock bov, mine doesnt unless I block the bleed hole. Perhaps its blocked with gunk?

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
