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.

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
