Broken BOV bolt - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So the adjustment bolt broke off in my Greddy Type-RS BOV and I was wondering a few things.

Since the screw was set fine and hasn't changed position since, the BOV is working fine and holding boost. Will it continue to?

If not, is there a way to replace the screw or is it some kind of specialty screw?
Can I get to the other side of the screw by taking the BOV apart or will I have to drill it out?

Thanks guys!

You could take it apart to get the stud out and replace it. Just watch out for the springs.
