Is your BOV an after market BOV? If so, generally just twisting the big coloured bit on the top ... usually blue or purple ... in the direction that says "loosen" on the top .. will loosen the spring to make it open at lower boost.

If it doesnt tell you which wat to turn it ... the instructions will ... failing that just test it ... try twisting one way, then try another way....

I can check mine tonight if you want, most will twist the same way. Do you know the brand/model of the BOV?

immortal.

well then it should have a sticker on it to say which way to loosen and which way to tighten.

anyway, it should be anti clockwise for loosening (soft setting)

you could have gone to the www.turbosmart.com.au site and looked at their products and found this picture..

anyway..

not your bov but all turbo smart bovs adjust the same way.

1. turn it 3 whole revolutions (1 revolution = 360 degs) anticlockwise.

(anticlockwise = the side away from you when you hold it goes to the left, the opposite to what the hands on a clock do)

2. Put the Auto into 1st gear, Drive it 400m down a straight road giving it bursts to exactly 4500rpm and see if it opens goes "pssht~"

If its still not doing what you want it to, then repeat step 1 and 2 again.

If you loosen it too much the top will spring off the BOV and you gotta screw it back on again. Its not difficult if that hapens.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
