lol yea it is exactly as the name says

picked up my first skyline took it nice and easy was all good took a few mates for a drive told em na na not yet let me have it for a while before i give it to much

so on the way home i thought well why not ill see what shes like under some boost so changing into 3rd felt like i had lost power? and once i got up it in 3rd i thought wow this is kinda patheic? so i slowed down thought geez it has some power in the lower gears gave it a bit and felt like nothing was going on? so i pull ova pop the bonnet to see if i had popped a pipe off and here i find the blow off valve sitting in my engine bay so as ya do i pushed it back into place and went and gave it a little to see if it still released and it did thank god

its going back to the standard blow off valve now as this one needs welding on and its in a bad palce really noticable position and i dont need the attention rather keep it looking and suonding standard :wave:

lol pritty intense night considering i had only had the car for about 2-3 hours

hahahaha, i've done that too :) i had to use a bottle cap to secure the hole till i could get home to fix it :S

mine ended up snapping off a bolt :), must been partially worn in the first place to go as bad as it did though

lol i managed to get mine back on and tighten it up enough so i could drive home like a little girl

just wondering:

would the fact that the blow off valve wasn't there and there was just a hole be the reason it wouldn't start or have i got more then one problem?

would have driving with the blow off valve not on my car caused any issues?

yep, if the bov wasnt there then you would have a massive hole which would create a massive vaccum leak which would make it very hard to run and idle let alone start it.

Drive around with a massive leak like having a missing bov wont do any damage, it will just run like a dog and go through shit loads of fuel.

What type of bov is it and how is it meant to be secured? Is it just hose clamped on?

pfffft, cats are for losers......

there is nothing more fun on a sunday afternoon than taking your cat off your cat, smashing out the insides with a hammer and screwdriver and bolting it back it...

makes a hell of a difference and its hard to notice you have done it :P

^^^ OMFG... THATS AWESOME!!!

i hate gutted catalytic convertor threads...

but on topic the engine will run rich and could stuff your cat and might faul your spark plugs too depending on how far you drive it. if its too bad the car will stall at anything over idle if its got too much of a leak like a blown intercooler pipe

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
