I was told that atmo BOVs were illegal now and a fix for it was to filter output gases, well I looked around and K&N had one about right size but I had to modify it a bit to fit and the wire I used to hold it it on is a temp until I find something better but it stays there and thats all that matters ATM

Atmo bovs are illegal on the Skylines as they run a closed system from factory.

If you vent this air out fuel will dump in as the ecu still thinks the air is in the system.

The only way to make it legal is to have it tuned and emission tested.

If the car was released without an AFM then an Atmo bov would be legal, providing it was filtered so it doesn't spray oil vapour everywhere.

sorry cubes only just read the last part of you post :Oops:

It isnt really the gas vented from the BOV itself, but moreso the effect it has on the engine fuel mixtures that causes the emissions concerns and problems.

In the real world we all know high performance/modified cars aren't going to effect the global warming and pollution problems in any significant way whatsoever.

The fact still remains, unless its a plumb-back its not legal by the authority's standards.

Hell they could defect you if it was a plumbback even and it wasn't OEM fitted.

To think the filter is going to do anything at all is wishful thinking, it won't help emmisions and it won't fool the coppers either. But if it does the few $ spent on the filter will be worth it.

Cheers.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
