If I am reading this right, you know its not to good for the turbo to block off the BOV??

You may already know this, but just thought I would check...

The amount of stress it actually puts on your turbo is well over rated.

Why do VL's run fine with out the bov? Answer me that

they would run well for a while, but that doesnt mean it there is no long term effect.

VL engines are old technology. if bovs werent needed then they wouldnt have put them on new cars.

Exatly what I was thinking...

You can't say that it is all fine because VL's don't have them, cause if it was all fine they wouldn't of introduced them to new cars...

It won't make your turbo shit itself overnight, but it does increase the shaft play of the turbo... Think about it, the turbo is spinning one way, you clutch, air has nowhere to go but back through the turbo the oppisite way to its spinning...... that can't be good.

Anyways not here to argue about it, I am sure everyone has their own opinion on it, and I am no expert. Just letting you know if you hadn't thought of it, which obviously you had.... so I withdraw my 2 cents worth :rofl:

      Arm ball joint

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      On a 260RS? Don't they have Macpherson struts at the front like a Silvia? In which case, no, not 2 ball joints at the front. Only the lower one. (Unless when you say 2, you mean one on the left and one on the right, not 2 at each corner of the car). Skyline front suspension has a balljoint at the bottom of the upright (outer end of LCA) and a "kingpin" type upper bearing in the top of the upright. No upper balljoint either. The details of what happens above that differ between R32 and the R33/4. I think you should look at some pictures of the rear suspension (or just go take a wheel off your own car) and see what looks like it might or might not be a ball joint there. The situation at the rear is somewhat similar to the front. Lower ball joint and the motion at the top is taken care of by the bushes in the arms.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      TBH if they had brought it here and badged it a Pintara in 89, I'd have bought it. It's the spiritual successor of the R31 we developed, and not the Bluebird.
