i'm hoping they're just teething problems :)  

I've got a go fast bits BOV.

I got a blitz none plumb back and it does stall sumtimes but i have got used to it so i can prevent it stalling. Its funny tho when sum1 else goes to drive it and they keep stallin it!

JIMIH..

With a external venting bov like the one that you got, it will stall no matter what you do.

If you tighten it a bit, it might stall less, but it will still stall or almost stall after it blows off due to the whole air flow meter issue.

To Tighten the GFB Mach 1, there is a screw on top. If you turn it clockwise, it will tighten it and push the piston a little lower so that it is completely closed during idle.

But your car will probably still stall in a situation like slowing down to a set of traffic lights or something.

If you are in sydney, and you want help then let me know..

I can help tighten it or whatever...

I've got a plumb back GFB bov on my car. It's briliant. No stalling, heaps better response when accelerating.. and a nice muffled khhhhhhh type sound through the pod filter during gear changes.

If you can still return it, and you want the psshhhtt sound, then see if you can excahange (with money on top) for a Hybrid BOV..

this way you will get the sound and no stalling.

cheers for that :)

i'm in Perth but I tightened it and it doesnt do it as much now ... I can sort of keep the revs up a little as I'm slowing down to the lights to keep it from stalling.

It's not as bad as it sounds, but it's just a little annoying sometimes ie. if you stall it in front of a group of people :)

My car used to stall too... It may be the BOV or bad tuning(e.g. air/fuel ratio,do u have a SAFC??)..

Anyway my POINT is it is REALLY DANGEROUS.... My car stalled once when it was raining and my car spinned 180 and skidded some distance and nearly hit another car...Imagine if it hit a passerby.... Lucky me!!!

I suggest u either solve the prob or change the BOV..... :cool:

I've heard that 'lines are very sensitive to externally venting BOV's so I got one of those GFB hybrids that plumbs back some air and vents the rest. Works awesome even with light spring pressure and it has never stalled, plus it's not too ricey. In fact the car runs better than with the factory valve, I think it must've been leaking or something

From memory I think one of the features of the SAFC is to allow for an atmo venting BOV.

Yeah here is the quote from the Apexi USA website:

" On hot-wire vehicles, the Deceleration Air Flow Correction function is capable of curing the erratic idle and stall problems associated with open-atmosphere blow-off valves on hot-wire air-flow meter systems."

Taken from here:

So don't keep stalling, invest in a SAFC today. I'd also assume the PowerFC can do this as well but I've never looked into it....

I tried setting that but it does nothing!

i used to have problems with my car stalling... however it was due to the afm. Its rather "exciting" when the car stalls infront of incoming traffic in an 80 zone...especially when you needed a new battery as well and when you tried to restart the car it would not crank over!!////:dump:

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they do. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec How does the liner interact with that? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards

      OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse.  But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift

      Yeah, nah. Anyone not putting the absolutely largest battery that will physically fit (ie, NS70 X) is not thinking straight. the NS70 X is close on double the capacity of the "stock" unit.
