hey i just got pulled over again and this time they must have heard my bov so they called a traffic cop to assist cos he was supposed to know whats, i played the "i dont know anything card" but when he said my boost controller was a bov as well as a boost controller i told him he didnt know sh1t so after he threatened to get his pen and paper out and start to write down everything wrong with it shut up, anyways i dont wana remove the bov cos i would have to weld up the hole in the fmic piping so i want turn it to a plumb back but i need the plumb back adaptor for a turbosmart type3 ss, if anyone has one please let me know or if anyone has any ideas how to make it plumb back another way that would be good, i got the stock parts but it would be a pain in the ass to do the bov

For sale section or buy from a turbosmart dealer. There are going to be no 'other' ways to make it plumb-back that are going to be easier then buying the right adapter and hooking it up. The adapter will cost stuff all (probably $30, if I could get a Greddy one for that price I'm sure turbosmart are close)

Rule number 1 when pulled over, act resectfully to the police, act dumb (dont know much about cars), and hope they spot something basic on the outside to write the ticket for so they dont open the hood, thats the sort of defect that can be easy to clear as in most cases being too low of having tyres sticking out of the guards simply means presenting the car to Vic Roads (or whoever is the equivalent in your state) for a inspection to clear just what got written up and nothing else.

My sons been done for having tyres out of the guards twice and (too) lowered once, all 3 times put stock parts on, lady comes out and looks, sees stock height or wheels, defect cleared, aftermarket parts bolted back on the moment it got home, Hwy patrol are constanly looking at it now, we are starting to think they have gven up as im sure the previous defects show up yet the car is back as it was and all they do is stare now.

Think of being pulled over as a bit of a attitude test.

You need to plumb it back, your not allowed to vent to atmosphere, its a simple as that now.

yeah thanks for the advice, that is very good advice. Yeah i will plumb back the bov if i can get the adapter plate or i will have to put the stick one back on and as for the dual stage boost controller im a lil bummed out about having to remove that, the dumb ass only knew to look at that cos its bright blue and looks obviously aftermarket, i seen that i can put the stock one on and ground the wire to keep it in high boost but thats only 7psi and i want the whole 12 that it can take safely, so i was thinking about going a 12psi actuator that can simply replace the stock one and then i can paint it black and put a nissan sticker on it just in case so it doesnt stand out. Does anyone have one for sale or know where i can get one cheap, and are they pretty much generic fit or do i need one specific for the stock r33 turbo?

Why not buy a discreet boost tee, some black boost line and hide the boost tee where you cant see it? If you think you only got caught because it stood out, then hide it somewhere better.

I think the R32 GTSt actuators run about 10psi. Honestly though, without an aftermarket ECU I wouldnt bother running any more then 7psi. I ran 10psi in mine through the stock ECU and it hit R&R badly and just wasn't real nice. Even when I got boost to the right point where it would run till redline, it was still not great. Did the high boost mod to the standard boost solenoid and running around 7psi again it seemed so much nicer.

My advice, take it or leave it. Save some money, buy an ECU with in-built boost control (Link/Vipec etc, even the PowerFC can do it with the optional boost kit) and get it tuned. You will be amazed how much better it runs, and if the tuner is good you will get better fuel economy and so on

yeah i am so i would have to remove aftermarket one on the fmic and have the hole welded up and then i can put the stock one back on the cross over pipe and plumb it to the intake, unless i can track down the plumb back adapter for the aftermarket one and then i can just simply plumb that one to the intake. Its a pain in the ass lol

the original is a metal pipe that goes straight into the rubber air intake hose on the turbo and the other end just uses a bit of rubber hose to join the metal pipe to the stock bov, thankfully i still have all of the stock parts

finding right size hose proving to be a little difficult but may be able to modify original pipe to shorten distance to front mount intercooler piping where new bov is located & 35mm hose is not real flexable lol

if the hose from the plenium to the bov was blocked would the bov stay closed permanently, or would pressure in the ic pipe force it open sometimes?

i thought about fitting the stick bov back on in the stock location and leaving my aftermarket one where it is and then finding some kind of valve so i can run the plenium vac hose to both bov and have the valve set so i can direct the vac line to goto whichever bov i want at the flick of a switch, as long as the bov that isnt turned on doesnt open at all.

I hope i have described this right

That's a bad plan.

The pressure from the plenum is required to keep the bov closed while on boost

Seriously. Just run the stock one, or buy an aftermarket plumback one and plumb it up. If you really want to change the noise (this is the only reason I changed mine, because I don't like the stock BOV noise, not I wanted a hektik sound) then you can still change it with a plumback, and get none of the drawbacks of an atmo.

It's not worth the trouble of defects and getting harrased all the time.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
