bov's arent allowed to vent atmospherically, full stop.

legally, they have to be 100% plumbed back.

edit: even if the pod is secured, its still good to get a permit, there are some wanker police out there that stop at nothing short of a permit.

LoL! That's an idea! I was gunned at 59km/hr on a 50km/hr road. And frankly, i didn't know it was 50 on all roads. And i just got my car and all. So i told the copper that i didn't know anything, i just got my car. Worked like a charm too. I think the fact that i havn't converted my liscense is another contributing factor. =D

I have a Greddy atmo BOV and got a permit for it no problem.

The cops are supposed to ask if you have permits for the mods they are pointing out. If you have permits they are supposed to accept them and let you be. If they are having a shit day like Strich9 says, they give you a yellow, and you have to pay to take it over the pits to show them that you have permits for it in the first place. The whole system stinks!!!!

I've got permits for my BOV HKS SQV, Pod filter, etc.

How did you get permits for the HKS BOV? I got the HKS SSQV one, and im sure you cant plumb it back. So how did you get the permits for yours?

I got told that you put a ball bearing in the vacuum hose coming off the top of any BOV when your in the pits, and it wont make any noise, so they can't get you!!!

Plumb-back BOV's are legal and require no permits as they meet ADR's and are supplied stock on most turbo model cars.

Atmospheric BOV's apparently dont meet ADR's I hear they fail because they fall under being a nuisence and distraction to other drivers.. Not really sure on how truthful it is but even with permits you can still be slapped with a yellow for atmo BOV's

I thought that the SSQV is full plumb back system? there's that thin tube going back into the engine thingy?

yah I did that ball bearing thingy while going through the pit...there is a thin hose going into the SSQV remove that and shove sumthing to block the air flow...and tadaaa no sound at all...but really use up a lot and a lot of fuel...

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
