R32 Gts-T Idle Problem

When i bought the car it was running a stock BOV. I then spent $200 on a Turbosmart BOV and it was great for a little while.. But now I'm having a rough idle issue.. When I'm driving and drop gears and go into neutral (or put the clutch in) the revs drop and the car stalls.. Sometimes it'll go down to 100 revs and bounce back up to a thousand but lately it's been stalling more.. Does anyone with knowledge about RB20's know what a common cause of this could be? Everything is stock except brass button clutch, splitfire coil pack and front mount.. Would putting the stock Bov back on stop this problem? Sorry for asking the question but I can't find another thread that has a direct answer. Thanks in advance.

Not wanting to be too mean to you, but there would have to be 10^4 threads on here with the exact same question and lots of us screaming at the poster to replace the factory BOV. -4 search points for you!

^^what? i can't believe how many australian guys run plumb backs they are far less prevelant over here.

perhaps clean your IACV...you can test to see if its your bov by watching the bov piston return when free reving it..

Gaz all of the AFM guys run plumbbacks to avoid OP's problem.

If it's not a recirc blow off valve then replace the factory one. You can sell the turbosmart one for sure if you're worried about the $200

umm i run afm and atmo bov and don't have that problem...it can be sorted without changing the bov.

It's also the law in oz.

Like you say it can be sorted but the reality is its not really worth mucking around with one is oz just to cop a defect for it.

Atmo BOV's cause so many more problems than they are worth on an AFM equipped car.

You can fiddle with the atmo BOV, get a retune to make it work (If you have an aftermarket ECU, otherwise factor in money to buy that) then it still wont run quite as nice as a PB BOV, then get a fine for having a venting BOV

alternatively, use stock BOV, buy aftermarket PB BOV, don't need retune, drives as stock

If your buying an ATMO BOV for the sound then you can still get that from an aftermarket plumback.

This is why I say they are not worth the trouble. You are right, they can work. But why would you bother?

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
