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...

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
