It's only really the aftermarket atmospheric venting bov's that can cause stalling because people just throw them on tuneuned cars. The computer see's X amount of air and fuels up accordingly. If you then went some of that air to atmosphere the engine runs rich when you lift off the accelerator pedal which can cause the engine to stall if the revs are low enough.

If you still have the stock bov and it's still plumbed back, I would be looking for something like a vaccum leak as the cause of the stalling. Does your speedo work?

Oh and don't worry about the 3L bottom end thing.. personal problem/joke :P

I really think your stalling is related to the speedo not working.

But as for checking for vaccum leaks, have a listen to try narrow it down then a can of carby cleaner helps. Spray it on the suspect area and if you hear the revs pick up slightly then you found your leak.

Go stock...or start liking man sex, to match your Blitz BOV.

Atmospheric BOVs can cause stalling, but from what Ive seen, they only do it intermittently (sp?), not every single time ?

Try and plumb it back, or get a hold of a stockie + piping, speedo is the next in line.

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
