Was changing my spark plugs yesterday, when the cap on this pipe snapped off. I didn't have time to find a replacement, so I just electrical taped it back on (blue electrical tape in the photo)

Anyone know what it is, and where i can get a new cap for it so it's not held on dodgily by tape lol.

I think it's been on there for so long, that it hardened and just snapped of whilst i was getting all fiddly with the spark plug change.

cheers!

Original BOV return.

Yep this!

As we suggest in 99% of threads i would be getting a plumb back BOV and fitting it as even cops that have no training in mechanical knowledge will still know too look for a shiny BOV and will have no hesitation slapping you with a defect!

As GTSBoy said, while you have a ATMO Bov, the return pipe is not needed.

You can;

A) Buy some heater hose/silicon hose the same diameter and a welsh plug to bung in the end and tighten up the hose with hose clamps or

B) Same as above but if you cannot find a welsh plug a coke bottle lid works perfect or

C) I think Bunnings sell like a "rubber cap" which you put on the bottom of table legs to stop them gauging into wooden floor, not sure if they have the size you need (that's what I would the the original one on yours is)

Thanks for the fast responses guys.

Any particular plumb back BOV's you can recommend? The atmo one came with the car when i bought it, so I've never really touched it.

Also, what's involved in installing one? Just replacing my atmo with a regular BOV (straight bolt on replacement?) and then a pipe connecting from the BOV to the return that's been blocked off in my photo?

It really is as simple as that mate!

I have a GFB Respons on mine and its good enough, i used to run the GFB stealth as it was a direct bolt on for the factory spot on the GTT, to be honest though stock will do just fine!

Or you can put a GTR one on for the flutterz lol

Tried having a quick search, but can't really find one.

Where did you get yours from?

Gonna be tough to find mine came with my valve. Check around on ebay and gumtree find someone selling that bov and if they have the adapter to sell it to you. Or if you know anyone who can weld ask them to make you one. Shouldnt be hard at all.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
