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...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
