Well there you go. I still cannot fully explain why this happens. I believe it has to do with the fact that the pipework is so long that when the throttle is closed suddenly the air pressure surges from end to end, similar to water in a narrow trough. In short pipe work if this does happen it is much less dramatic and not enough to effect the BOV.

MFX-R33... I am very interested to see this..

If you are serious about showing me, I'd like to take you up on that offer..

As far as I know it's not possible, but I am willing to think outside the square and be shown something that I think is not possible..

I am not being sarcastic, I am genuinely interested in seing this..

I dont have all the answers and i have studied fluid mechanics. Even so i cant explain the cause of the noise, i have thoughts but my old PBR BOV on my R31 souded completely different to the one i heard on a 13B.

At the end of the day i KNOW cars running BOVs have can make this noise. Looks like ill have to break out the TIG set and start experimenting with ocations, perhaps closer to the IC outlet.

Most 80 touring cars did run BOVS, to my knowledge only the DR30 and R31 Nissans made do without. Have you ever seen the engine bay of the Caltex Sierra, it did run a BOV.

DCIEVE,

are there reciprocating bov's??

If there are I have not seen them. Almost all BOV's i have seen are a different version of the same basic piston style. The only exception I can think of is the HKS Super SQV, which has a more complicated design (and they are prone to siezeing), but still not reciprocating.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
