I was told that atmo BOVs were illegal now and a fix for it was to filter output gases, well I looked around and K&N had one about right size but I had to modify it a bit to fit and the wire I used to hold it it on is a temp until I find something better but it stays there and thats all that matters ATM

Atmo bovs are illegal on the Skylines as they run a closed system from factory.

If you vent this air out fuel will dump in as the ecu still thinks the air is in the system.

The only way to make it legal is to have it tuned and emission tested.

If the car was released without an AFM then an Atmo bov would be legal, providing it was filtered so it doesn't spray oil vapour everywhere.

sorry cubes only just read the last part of you post :Oops:

It isnt really the gas vented from the BOV itself, but moreso the effect it has on the engine fuel mixtures that causes the emissions concerns and problems.

In the real world we all know high performance/modified cars aren't going to effect the global warming and pollution problems in any significant way whatsoever.

The fact still remains, unless its a plumb-back its not legal by the authority's standards.

Hell they could defect you if it was a plumbback even and it wasn't OEM fitted.

To think the filter is going to do anything at all is wishful thinking, it won't help emmisions and it won't fool the coppers either. But if it does the few $ spent on the filter will be worth it.

Cheers.

The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
