i love the bov blocker! and i love johns attitude about not following brands :)

imo auto gauge are sweet :ninja: there are actually a number of ppl on NS shifting to auto gauge/saber as the apparently the defi sensors are weak as piss... if you dont want auto gauge/saber, there are other alternatives to defis - such as greddy, apexi, blitz

"zomg my car is jdm as f**k yo, i got a bride, uras kit, defis, te37s, tomei cams, HKS fmic, MU brakes n rotors, MOTEC ECU, blah, blah..."

"dude, sounds awesome! how does she go around the track?"

"err the track? nah man i havnt taken her to the track"

"zomg fail"

WHATS UP WITH YOU GUYS?!

I wouldn't go that far... I am a complete Sparco whore :) ... I just can't afford their shit :ninja:

oh yeh sparco is amazing - you'll have to take a seat in the 180 next time man, and sit in pure Sparco loveliness,

i meant to come across that you arent all "i wont put anything in my car that isnt top of the line japanese either defi/tomei/nismo etc"

man this rain is nuuuts

I have no problem with that. I'm like that with my guitars and musical equipment, so I know the mind set.

I just figure if I like the cheap one's functionality/looks more and it'll do the same job, and I'll get the same life to cost ratio as the expensive one, then I'll get it. If I was going to build one of those two-jay-zee-no-shit-decimate-all-with-overnight-parts-from-ja-pan I'd totally be throwing my wallet at it though. Just depends on what you want out of it I think. For now I just want the dirty slut to keep running :)

whats the drama with her atmm? :)

No dramas now (and I want it to stay that way) except for badly needing tyres, and my AC unit has shat itself again. Going to take it back to the rip off merchant electrician that 'fixed' it last time and get him to have another go. It just blows hot air at me... not a cool time of year for it hahaha

possibly a stupid question, but there is a plug on the 32 next to the ciggie lighter (behind the plastic - u gota take the front plastic out

) - i'd check that its plugged in first, mine once fell out and i had the same problem

i cant remember what the plug is called but yeh - if its unplugged on cool air for some reason :|

+1 my 32 did the same thing, its the interior temp sensor, when faulty or un plugged the sensor reads -32 degrees so it blows hot air to save your life!

on the center panel you will see the little slots behind that there will be a sensor with a plug on it and a bendy hose, both of thse need to be attached for it to work, the hose is a flamin mongrel because it is only just long enough to reach the back of the sensor when the console is in place, if you need a hand with it let me know, im very familiar with having to deal with this issue lol

Blanking off the bov, or even adding a ATMO one will no longer make the system "recirc", thus create idle drop and even stalling - my old R32 had it blanked off thus no return pipe into the intake where the AFM could read what was going on.

remove one link in the system = drama.

You can remove and block them/run ATMO's when you have a chipped ECU, thus telling the AFM what to do

Thanks guys! I'll go out and check that right now :ninja:

And - I think this is the boost gauge that I'm gonna get :)

Joshie i dont mean to rain on you parade, because you know i think you are sexy, but to my understanding a block off should not cause running troubles. The ecu shits its self when air the afm measured goes missing somewhere between the afm and combustion, ie a leak or indeed a atmo bov dumping the air out if the system, thus causing bad mixtures. I would say the most likely culprit of your issue was a poorly sealing blanking plate or some other leak rather than lack of BOV.

Even Dan told me what I said...

As soon as I put a return BOV on that recirc'd back into the intake and into the AFM, it could read right, no longer idle drop or stalling.

there is a billion threads on here about it.

I even agree with 31nismoide with it, lol.

Ok, the hose was disconnect!!

Not sure how it popped itself off, but it did. Might cable tie that little sucker. Now, before I go screwing it all back in... what's this plug? It was disconnect too!

Agreed. Atmo bov will definitely cause issues. Blanking wouldn't. A non-blanked BOV would be closed at idle anyway. Think about it.

Andy and I are right. You are all wrong. suggad1ck. :cool:

    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
