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.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
